3 unusual hairdressing tips

To boost a tired brushing, we draw the dry shampoo
We know it to cheat between two shampoos, but the dry shampoo is also used to revive a slightly tired brushing. It is applied at the root and on the lengths. Its action:it cleanses the hair and restores volume, all without messing up your hair. After applying it, brush the hair well to remove the excess product. The hair keeps the initial movement of the brushing and the hairstyle is fixed without the need to add hairspray.

To camouflage roots, we play with a cork
To camouflage roots or hide gray hair, we wake up the McGyver that is in us:we bring a cork (this is not an excuse to drink!) and a lighter. We blacken the end of the cap with the lighter and then dab it on the roots and/or white hair. On contact with the cap, the hair takes on a slight brown tint, which adapts to all hair colors:on blond, one pass is enough to blur the demarcation between dyed hair and the roots, and on chestnut to brown, several passages make it possible to obtain a more or less dark shade. Fake color washes out with shampoo.

For a golden brown with fine gold, we make a homemade recipe with henna
Give relief to brown to brown hair (natural or not) with golden highlights. In a bowl, mix shampoo, conditioner and natural henna (one tablespoon each). Add very hot water until you get a creamy texture. Then, apply the mixture to the hair, leave on for between five and ten minutes (depending on the intensity of the desired reflection) then rinse. Good to know:avoid applying the mixture to blond hair, as henna tends to give it a greenish tint!
