Quick Tip

*How Does It Smell?

Before you buy your next gel or shampoo, open it and take a sniff. Does it appeal to you? There is one shampoo on the market that smells just like cough medicine. I just can't stand it and the entire bottle would have gone to waste if I hadn't checked first.

*Summer Conditioning

To help keep your hair healthy and shiny, apply conditioner to the bottom half of your hair and then comb through. Rinse out after a minute or two.

*It's All About the Hair

Believe it or not, research has been done on the relationship between your hair and your happiness. Strange as it may be, everything points to the fact that if your hair is behaving, it looks shiny and healthy, you will be happier with yourself and the world in general. Who would have thought that hair could have this much influence over you. And if that isn't enough, research has even shown that if you don't like your hair, you begin to doubt your own intelligence.
