Plump flat roots with cornstarch
"The powder provides grit to help prop strands up at the root," says celebrity hairstylist Daniel Koye. Plus, cornstarch absorbs moisture that can settle onto hair and make it look flat. The result? Va-va-voluminous hair.
TRY IT! Blond or gray hair? Fill an empty spice jar with cornstarch and sprinkle on the scalp. Rub in and let absorb. Brunette or black hair? Mix in 1/2 Tbs. of cocoa powder for a better blend.
Boost luster with coconut milk
Coconut’s lauric acid deeply penetrates hair to restore and lock in luster- enhancing moisture to dull, parched tresses, while its creamy fats increase strand shine for a youthful-looking sheen.
TRY IT! Pour 1⁄2 cup of coconut milk all over damp hair. Let sit 10 minutes before rinsing with shampoo.
Mattify oily roots with micellar water
Used primarily to remove makeup, micellar water’s small cleansing compounds grab and whisk away excess oil on the scalp for an instantly less greasy look.
