Instead of perms and deep conditioners ... I use hot olive oil treatments and my hair comes out straight and silky.

To get rid of dandruff mix a half a capful of listerine with your regular shampoo once a week.

Chewing parsley sweetenings your breath.

And for facials. I use biore most of their skin care products works good. If not ... Time to get laser treatments,lol.

I have another tip...

My hair is relaxed (my hair is natural curly but I prefer it straight) and to keep it moisturized and soft, I wash my hair everyday with conditioner.
I just get in the shower, wet my hair, leave it on while I wash up, and then rinse it out. I only use shampoo every 2 weeks. It really makes a difference in your hair, I encourage for ladies that relax their hair to do this! Wink

I found this online for dark circles under your eyes:
grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a human skin lightener.

Run one spud through your food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheesecloth.
Apply to the area directly beneath your eye — don't let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself — and leave for 15 to 20 minutes.
Wipe away the starchy residue

I straighten my hair also. I just use a straigtning iron.

For those of you that shave your pubic area, sometimes if you use the shaving gel you itch like crazy...The best thing to shave down there with is any type of conditioner....And a regular razor...Lol.

Like idababy said, using a straightening iron, also known as a flat iron can straighten your hair but don't do it too much. It can cause damage. If you do plan on flat ironing your hair use a heat protectant.

I shave my pubic area but I always use shaving cream and I get bumps.
Does the conditioner stop you from getting bumps?

Conditioner will help with itching, most bumps, and softness...It seems to work better than anything else ive used before.

About the straight hair thing, I use a straightening iron but I was asking if anyone knows of any product you can put in your hair to assist with making it straight
