Steps

Hair

    1
    Keep hair looking shiny by rinsing it with cold water for two minutes after conditioning it.
    2
    Don't use too much conditioner, it will pull your hair down and give it less volume.
    3
    Wash your hair at least every-other day or it will get greasy and increase the chance of spots on your face.
    4
    When you wash your hair Do not brush it as this upsets the natural pattern of your hair and makes it frizzy. Instead, comb it with a wide-tooth comb for tangles.
    5
    When wearing a hair bobble don't put it in too tight as this damages your hair and slows down hair growth. Instead when you go to tie your hair up leave a fingers width of space between your scalp and the bobble this will look cool as well as it will decrease the chance of hair loss.
    6
    To prevent hair breakage when sleeping, sleep on a satin pillow or wear a scarf.
    7
    Do not get armpit wet.
    8
    Try different styles everyday if you have long hair there is an endless amount of possibilities, if you have short hair try extensions for a really different look.

Face

Here's a recipe on how to make an aloe Vera face mask:

    1
    Mix the milk and sugar together until sugar is not as grainy.
    2
    Choose an aloe vera leaf size according to how much juice is within the leaf.
    3
    Mix aloe vera juices from leaf with sugar/milk combo.
    4
    Spread over face leave for five minutes.
    5
    Wash off with a wet washcloth
    6
    Wash your face every day in the morning and in the night.
    7
    Always make sure to wash all your make-up off before you go to bed.
    8
    To get rid of blackheads hold your face in the steam of hot water and stay like that for up to 20 minutes then squeeze the blackhead up NOT down as this will only make them worse.
    9
    Don't ever squeeze spots or blemishes downwards, as this pushes the infection further into the skin making the blemish or spot worse.
    10
    Moisturise your face every day.
    11
    Exfoliate with face scrub every night before bed.
    12
    If you have open pores on your face then lemon or citrus fruit is a good way to close them.
    13
    If you would like longer eye lashes then try putting Vaseline they make your eyelashes longer and fuller.
    14
    Vaseline is also a good substitute for lip gloss of eye shadow, it makes your lips more moist and gives your eyes a shiny natural glow.
    15
    Always wear chap stick in the winter, you don't want dry cracked lips do you.
    16
