1. Want to boost your hair color in less than an hour?

Try a hair rinse! For dark locks brew a pot of coffee and let cool. Soak dry or damp hair in brew and comb through. Are you a blonde? Brew 6 bags of chamomile tea in a cup of water and mix with a half a cup of yogurt (plain) instead. Redhead? Use a half a cup of beet juice with equal part carrot juice. Cover your head with a plastic shower cap and let the rinse set for 30 minutes. Rinse then shampoo your hair as usual. For added shine rinse your hair in cool or cold water.

Dab a little toothpaste on it. The active ingrediants in toothpaste will help dry it out fast. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes then rinse with warm water. Another thing you could try is mixing a few drops of lemon juice with equal parts water and applying with a Q-tip and letting it dry.

3. Run out of shaving cream?

Skip the soap, which can leave your skin feeling dry. Use your conditioner instead. Your razor won’t be able to tell the difference, and will leave your stems as silky as if you had used your regular cream.
