5. Deep condition, and turn your color up a notch.
Grab your favorite rich conditioner, such as Dove Quench Ultra
Nourish Conditioner, and mix it with coffee grinds. Yes, coffee.
The trick is to use already-dampened or freeze dried coffee. The
easiest method is to combine half of an already-used K-cup pod
with four to five tablespoons of deep conditioner. Apply it to your
hair, wrap in a warm towel and let it sit for 30 minutes. By the time
you rinse your hair, you’ll have a rich, brown shimmer and the
softest mane in town. This only works for darker hair tones, so if
you’re a platinum blonde, skip to the next hack.
6. Treat your legs like
your face. We shave our legs, leave
them exposed to the elements and hardly
treat them with the love and respect we
give our faces; so, imagine how gloriously
soft they’d be if we shaved with a facialquality
product? One of the best hacks
around is using a cold cream, such as
go-to classic Pond’s Cold Cream
Cleanser, for a super, silky smooth
shaving cream. Legs will come out with a
close, buttery smooth shave — and you
don’t have to wait until you run out of your
regular shave gel to try this trick.
