I'm looking for a way to darken my gray hair naturally. Can it be done?
Sara

Sage has been used for centuries for this purpose. But, you have to have the proper strength. Here's what you do. Take about 25 grams of the herb and then pour in 300 ml of boiling water. Let this sit in a closed container in a warm place for 24 hours. Strain the liquid into the jar and then use as a rinse or you can even add it to your shampoo.

I was told that I should be using a radial brush for my curly hair, but I don't know what it is. Can you help?
Marilyn

A radial brush is simply one that is like a cylinder. It is used to blow dry hair for a curly style.

Is it true that my hair will slow down its growth as soon as summer is over? I want waist length hair and it has been growing so well during the summer.
Jane

Sorry, but yes your hair growth does slow down when the cooler weather sets in. Be sure to pamper it to keep it as healthy as possible. Winter weather can be brutal.

I have long naturally wavy hair which I don't mind, but its always flat. What can I do?
Stephanie

There are gels on the market that add body to your hair. I would give this a try. Add a little to your hair while it is still damp. Now use your blow dryer for whatever style you wish to achieve. That should give you a little extra volume.

I have short hair and I hate it. Any suggestions on what I can do to perk it up. Its just plain boring.
Ashley

Use a root volumizer to give lift and a gel for extra hold. Blow dry your hair with a round/radial brush creating the style you want. Remember, the smaller the brush, the tighter the curl. You might finish it off with the help of a curling iron.

Are zig zag parts still fashionable?
Crista

Yup!
