Blot your hair for its health and time saving

Use kitchen paper towels to soak water from your hair prior to your blowout. Depending on the length of your hair you may save about ten minutes. Do I have to mention that you also avoid damage by keeping the time for blowouts short.

Halloween Makeup Removal Tricks for Color Hair Spray

When you use some of these bright color hairsprays, but have to look office appropriate the next day, mix baking soda with shampoo or hot water to a paste. Apply this paste to the colored hair and let it set for a couple of minutes before rinsing it off. Since the baking soda will dry out your hair, apply a nourishing conditioner to your hair before drying.

The color spray can also be removed from the hair using dish washing or powdered laundry detergents, apple cider vinegar mixed with lukewarm water, or mayonnaise. However, the former two methods are even worse for your hair than baking soda, and the later method causes a huge mess. May be the best is to leave the bright purple, green, pink, or blue hairspray to the kids for Halloween. 😉
