We spend a lot of money on professionals to get flawless makeup, hair or manicure. What if you do it yourself?
Here are the tried and true tricks that always give good results:
- You can curl with a hairband. Coil as in the picture and leave for a few hours or overnight.
- For a shiny hair, it is enough to comb it well from roots to ends.
- To get the haircut you want, show your hairdresser a photo of what you want. Only verbal explanations always lead to embarrassment.
- Slightly regrown roots can be hidden with a zigzag parting. The play of light will make the difference in color imperceptible.
- Sticking out hairs from the hairstyle can be tidied up with a mascara brush and a drop of hairspray on it.
- Always wear hats to protect your hair from fading and aging.
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillow, the smooth fabric pulls out less hair while you sleep.
- Always start combing your hair with a wide, sparse comb. This will untangle them, not pull them out.
- Dry shampoo or baby powder can be applied to the roots and combed out if you have a greasy scalp. This will give your hair a neat look all day long. - Most of us use bobby pins incorrectly and they don't hold their hair. The smooth side should be facing outward and the wavy side should be facing the head.

- Using sulfate-free shampoos will help keep your hair he althy for longer.

- Always wet your hair with fresh water from the tap or shower before going for a swim in the sea or pool. This will keep them from absorbing s alt or chlorinated water.
