101 terrific tips, trends, tricks and finishing touches

71. For superdry or African-American hair, instead of snoozing on a cotton pillowcase (which absorbs moisture), switch to satin.
72. To keep curls under control, combine equal parts of gel and conditioner, scrunch it into your hair and let it air-dry.
73. Style update: Make a couple of skinny braids and secure 'em with hair elastics. Can't find hair bands? Backcomb the ends of the braids, spritz with hairspray and hold the hair together until the spray dries.
74. Wanna lighten your hair without a big color change? Highlight just five or six strands around your face.
75. Don't weight your hair down by conditioning strands that don't need it! Work conditioner through the ends only--and avoid the roots.
76. Tangled tresses? Gently comb through your hair after applying conditioner.
77. Hair factoid: On any given day, one out of every 10 hairs on your head has stopped growing! Just thought you'd wanna know!
78. Flat hair fixer: Spray your hair with hairspray, then rake your fingers through your strands, tugging gently at the roots while the hairspray dries.
79. Always aim the air from your blowdryer down the length of your hair. Directing the air upward roughs up your hair's outer cuticle, cutting down on that great natural shine.
80. For dry, fragile hair: Once or twice a week, rub conditioner into your hair before you shampoo.
