For beautiful hair, add oil to your hair care routine. You can make your hair shinier, less frizzy, and mask graying by adding a few drops of oil to your hair every morning. Good oils to use are castor, rosemary, or sesame oils. All of them are cost effective and widely available.

Sometimes, when coloring your hair, you may find that the color you chose simply isn’t strong or intense enough for your liking.

You can spend big bucks on special dandruff shampoos containing salicylic acid for your dandruff and/or flaky scalp. But did you know that salicylic acid is, in fact, aspirin?

Let it sit on your scalp for a minute and you will find it has the same result as more expensive treatments.
Using Vaseline on your eyebrows and eyelashes is going to have a couple different benefits.
