For Hair Color

  • Just don't wash your hair. Sure, you will probably feel like Severus Snape (aka greaseball 4lyfe as James Potter once said) but it's all worth it in the end! Maybe.
  • Wash it in cold water.
  • Shampoo once a month, condition it more often though.
  • Crush an avocado up and cover your hair with it for about 15-20 minutes and wash off. Voila! Color retention and shine.

For a Blow Out

For Skin

AT HOME FACIAL STEAM [http://www.primped.com.au/tips_tricks/article/cleanse_your_skin_with_an_at_home_facial_steam/pcat/skincare]

For Cold Sores

  • NAIL POLISH REMOVER. place a cotton pad/tissue soaked in polish remover on the tingly blister, and press it on the area hard. Hold it there. This will hurt. A lot. But you must press it on there for 10 seconds.

For Puffy Eyes

  • How To: Slice 2 slices of cucumber and float them in cool tap water for a few minutes. Shake them off well before applying to your eyes.
  • Tip: Cold, refrigerated tea bags also work to reduce circulation, as well as shrink the skin tissue (thanks to tea’s astringent properties). But if you have allergies, a herbal tea like chamomile might swell your eyes, so proceed with caution.
