Quick Tip

*Something To Be Aware Of

If you have oily hair that requires daily shampoos, dryness of the mid shaft down can often result. You might want to try this... a deep cleaning shampoo at the roots, followed by a moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse the length.

*Use a Toothbrush

If you have a lot of tiny baby hairs along the forehead, they can be coaxed into place by spraying an old toothbrush with hairspray.

*You Don't Need the Green

The minute you step out of the pool, be sure to take a quick shower to wash out the chlorine. It is a bleach afterall and it can dry your hair and your skin. Use a gentle shampoo and then followup with a conditioner. Same goes for your body. Don't forget the lotion, applied over damp skin.

**Chlorine can do some nasty things to color treated hair so wash it out as soon as possible. Who wants a summer of green or greyish looking hair?
