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 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.
