When you get frizzy hair ... Find some hand lotion.

If you didn't check the humidity levels before opting for a curly hairstyle and your style starts to resemble a pouf ball by midday, use your hand lotion as a makeshift smoothing cream. Edward Tricomi, co-owner of Warren-Tricomi Salon explains that a dab of hand lotion gives flyaways weight. In addition, the lotion's moisture helps fight frizz by filling hollow hair follicles, preventing them from soaking up any frizz-inducing moisture in the air. Make sure you only use a dab so that it doesn't make your hair look greasy.

That spoon trick sounds a bit crazy

I dont recommend doing the spoon with the eye trick if you've been drinking a few cocktails...

Carry alcohol pads and nail glue, all the time. Even if you don't wear fake nails or need first aid, there are a million uses for these!

my roommate curls her lashes with a spoon and the first time i saw her doing it, i thought she was crazy! but after seeing her nicely curled lashes, i guess using a spoon really does work :D

The toilet paper hint reminded me of this obnoxious person I worked with, you know the one that acts like she is smarter and prettier than everyone else around? She kept her toothbrush in a glass on the sink in the bathroom at work. I assumed she never read or heard that the water from the toilet could fly up to 30 feet at times. I always imagined that it was all over the toothbrush that she used.

I've heard of the spoon one before in an article about a celebrity. The others were mostly new though. Thanks!! I'm loving this site. So many helpful/interesting articles!!
