- Gum in the hair can be removed by saturating it with baby oil, peanut butter, or mayonnaise.

- If your hair is turning green from too much chlorine, rinse it with tomato juice, then a final rinse of water.
- Remove static or the flyaways from your hair with hairspray - sprayed on your brush instead of your hair. Brushing the hairspray through your hair will make it manageable but not stiff.
- An ionic hair dryer dries your hair much faster (which causes less damage) yet is still gentler to hair than the old-fashioned dryers.
- Do not blow dry your hair when it is soaking wet. Heat on wet hair leaves your hair looking dull. Let the hair dry partly first.
- All clarifying shampoos and most dandruff shampoos will remove artificial hair color.
- Use clarifying shampoo occasionally to remove hair color build-up that weighs hair down.
- The right hair conditioner makes all the difference. Thin or fine hair will just cling to your head and look flat with no conditioner at all. A regular conditioner will eliminate the static but still weigh your hair down. Fine or thin hair needs a light conditioner to be its fullest. Conditioner also makes any hair so much easier to comb.
- With any condition except one for dandruff, try to use it on your hair but not your scalp. This will allow for fuller hair at the roots.
- When drying your hair, use a towel to blot it dry instead of rubbing or wringing, in order to prevent breakage.
- Hair is damaged less when using a brush only when it is wet or damp.
- Tangles in very curly hair should be combed out when the hair is wet. Combing again after it has dried can make it frizzy and too full.
- Curl your hair for instant "highlights" since curls catch the light from many more angles than straight hair.
- Roots that are darker or lighter after coloring hair are less visible if your part is not perfectly straight. The zig-zag part is not necessary, just keep it messy.
