TIP OF THE DAY
· To get a neat, symmetrical braid, keep the tension tight and the size of each section the same.
· Braided hair must be washed as often as non-braided hair to avoid scalp infections.
· It’s best to braid hair when it’s dry. Otherwise, thick hair tends to stay damp.

Dying dilemma To avoid stains around the forehead when dying hair, apply Vaseline around the hairline before applying the colour.

Hair jewels Need instant glamour? Place hair jewels randomly in your up-do for extra sparkle. Use coloured jewels on blonde hair if you really want to stand out or try pearls or crystals for a more subtle effect.
Headscarves Use a scarf as a headband to solve dirty-hair dramas. Run a straightening iron over the ends so it looks smooth.
Oil and Water If you have oily hair, always use lukewarm water when you shampoo. Hot water will stimulate the oil glands in the scalp and encourage greasiness.
Fight grease If you're blonde, it is easy to give greasy hair a fresh look. Sprinkle on talcum powder, leave for a few seconds, then work it in with your fingers.
Flat Liners All you need is a shot of humidity, and your hair is plastered. How to lock out limpness? Keep styling products light — they can limp, not lift, when combined with humidity and sweat. To give body, massage light-weight thickening spray into roots and blow-dry upside-down.
Up, Up and Away When all else fails (or you just can't be bothered), think easy-breazy up-do. Tousled, just-swam buns look gorgeous and lift hair off your neck. Decorate with a bright, clip-on bloom by day, and sparkles by night for added glam.
