Sunday-Over-The-Sink Shampoo - BY APRIL A
Hello! I love your site and wanted to contribute a great piece of hair care advice to the readers! My Mom taught it to me as a child and she called it the "Sunday-Over-The-Sink Shampoo."
Ingredients: one beaten whole egg in one bowl, and two tablespoons of mayonnaise in another bowl.
(Don't do this in the shower-it'll make you smell like a salad unless you want to wash after. That's why you do it in a sink!)
Hanging your head in the sink, wet your hair and gently massage the whole beaten egg through your hair, taking extra care with your scalp. This treatment is meant to get the oils, built up conditioners, and dirt from the past week- off your scalp and purify it. Let the egg sit for about a minute, then rise throughly with warm water. Massage in the mayonnaise in the same way, but paying attention to the tips of the hair, and let sit for about 2-3 minutes. (For a deep conditioning-wrap your head in a towel and sit in the sun for 30 minutes) Rinse with warm water and then shampoo with your normal shampoo. Don't condition after. Voila! Shiny, conditioned hair, with a sqeaky clean scalp.
PS. This treatment works very well with people with oily scalp/hair or people that are trying to grow their hair out from a very SHORT do(gives the growing hair a clean environment to grow faster and healthier!)

Red Hair Treatment - BY A. RICE
All the women in my family have red hair. This trait goes back a longggg way in our family, and this treatment is commonly used to keep our hair looking vibrant instead of dull.
Mix:
1 cup dark berry juice (any kind will do)
1/2 cup rosehips
1/2 cup cloves
1/4 cup strong black coffee
Distribute evenly throughout your hair. There will definitely be some left over, but put in as much of the mixture as your hair can hold. Leave on for 10 minutes, and then rinse thouroughly with warm water and let dry.
Hair Gel - BY REDSTAR
You can make hair gel out of egg white. Let the eggwhite dry in your hair w/ some hair spray so it won't stink.
Hair Care Tip - BY KRISTEN M
Before going into the pool, wet your hair in a shower or sink. When you wet your hair with regular water your hair soaks up that water first, instead of soaking up mostly chlorinated water first. This way, not only will the chlorine do less damage, but your hair won't reek of it for days.
Highlighting With a Zest of Lemon - BY KATIE
Take some lemon juice (store bought or squeezed yourself) and run it through your hair. Go outside and let your hair sit in the sun for about 15-20 minutes. The lemon juice might irritate your head afterwards, so you should condition it.
Honey Hair Spray - BY JULIE S
I use honey-water instead of hair spray. I just rinse out a small plastic spray bottle, add about two tablespoons of honey to the bottom of the bottle, fill the bottle with hot water, and shake well. I store the mixture in the refrigerator, and I've found that it will keep for about two weeks. I would suggest that you use the mixture sparingly, and that you completely clean the bottle and spray mechanism every time you make a fresh batch. It works well on my long, straight hair.
Dry Hair - BY RUSTIN B
After drying hair, add a small amount of conditioner to hair. It helps with dry hair and the frizz look.
