Shiny Hair Simply - BY E.R

When you rinse the conditioner out of your hair in the shower, rinse it with COLD water-- this closes the hair shafts and seals in moisture. Also, since the hair shafts are closed, light can reflect off of hair better, making it look super-shiney.

For Hair That Never Looks Dried, Dyed, and Fried. (Mamas Secret) - BY JBACA99

For these results here's my secret: 0.) Condition hair with a mix of avocados, mayo, and eggs.   1.) Trim hair 1/2" (every three months)   2.) With soaked hair, mix a generous amount of VO5 straight hair cream. (Wal-Mart).   3.) Using a small brush thickened with bristles, blow dry hair piece by piece. (The small brush looks as if its been curled with a curling iron for a couple of days.) 4.) To add shine, include a small amount of the straightening stuff with dried hair. (very small amount.)

Healthy Scalp - BY DYOUNG

Once a month, rinse hair and scalp with vinegar before washing. It is easiest when you have someone to do it for you, but if you do it yourself remember to keep your eyes closed tight because the vinegar burns. The vinegar invigorates the scalp and promotes hair growth. Wash thoroughly to eliminate the smell. Use apricot oil as a hair moisturizer and softener. This process works well on chemically treated hair. In fact, I believe that it lessens the adverse impact of the chemicals on your hair.
