Egg Head?
Ran out of shampoo?
Beat two fresh eggs in a cup of warm water. Massage the mixture through your hair. Leave on for ten to fifteen minutes then rinse with tepid water.
Warning: Don't use hot water to rinse hair or you'll end up with scrambled egg on your hair!

Coke
Yes, coke! Pour a can of Coke (Sprite if you are blonde) into a spray bottle with some water then mist onto damp hair. This creates a very sexy texture.
Nivea
Apply to damp hair before sculpting creating a really smooth style and texture for a sophisticated look.
Asprin
Problem with dandruff? Dissolve some Aspirin in a dandruff shampoo and the problem will clear up fast.
 
Fabric Softner
If you run out of conditioner - using fabric softner will do the trick!
 
Ketchup
For blonde hair with a slightly green tint from chlorine, pour ketchup on to wet hair, washing out in a couple of minutes. The red tone neutralises the green leaving lovely golden locks.
 
Maple Syrup
Massage on to dry hair leaving for half an hour before shampooing. This will say goodbye to split ends and frizz.
Beer
Washing hair with beer gives it more body.
 
Vodka
A splash of vodka removes any product build-up.
 
Cling Film
Apply a rinse out conditioner to freshly washed hair - wrap head in cling film and leave for 20 mins. Hey presto - a salon style conditioning for FREE!

Washing up Liquid
If you've done your own permanent dye job and the colour is far too strong use fairy liquid as shampoo, as it strips the colour out quicker than normal shampoo

Mayonaising!!
Put real mayonnaise, not miracle whip, on your hair over night with a plastic cap. This promotes stronger strands and growth

To tame curly hair, use just a dime size(depending on hair length) of olive oil and mix it with your favorite styling product. Voila!! Tamed curly hair

Mayonaise
If you have frizzy hair and all you long for is sleek hair, then use 2 medium size blobs of mayonnaise into your hair then rinse and condition as usual - it works wonders!

Lemon Juice
For volume
Mix the juice of one lemon with 100ml of water and put into a spray bottle. Spray lightly through your hair, then blow dry. The acidity of the lemon juice swells the strands giving volume. Remember though if out in the sun the lemon will lighten your hair so take this into consideration.
