Pathetic way to promote, Heidi
Now I know the real reason for Heidi Montag-Pratt to join I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! reality show, it’s her one and only way to promote her latest line… of dry shampoo.
According to Life&Style, Heidi is developing her new line of dry shampoo. She’ll probably launch Heidi Montag Dry Shampoo as soon as she gets back from the jungle.
According to multiple sources, Heidi broke down on the first of the show because somebody stole her dry shampoo, the only luxurious thing she was allowed to take with her to the jungle.
But hey, listen to this:
It’s Heidi crying about her shampoo. But according to her own words, the castmates did not steal the item, they simply took off all of her labels?
The promotion sucked. Sorry, Heidi!

Cheap and quick summer hair tips
Time to hit the beach, soak up some rays (through the sunscreen of course!), and spend time with family and friends. Summer always presents new hair challenges.
During the hot, humid months, hair often develops a mind of it’s own. Here are some quick and easy hair tips that will shape up those summer locks in no time and of course, not break the bank. In fact, many of these hair tips won’t cost you a thing!
1. Wash and condition correctly
“The scalp’s natural oils condition, so keep conditioner away from your roots when washing hair to avoid weighing down your locks. To be safe, start applying it at least three or four inches away from your scalp.” — Mark Townsend
“The natural oil in your scalp is the best conditioner you can get, so wash your hair every two or three days rather than daily. After a workout, shower as usual, but instead of shampooing, just wet the hair and massage your scalp with your fingers.” — Mark Townsend

Hair Tips for African -American Women
As the summer gradually descends on the nation’s capitol, thousands of African American women are considering what to do with their tresses. In addition to being harangued by the humidity of the city, Black hair is often caught in style limbo due to damage from over-processing or the many summer activities that “sweat hair out.” But according to area stylists, all is not loss.
Despite making up only 10 percent of the nation’s population, African American women spend more than $2 billion a year on hair care products according to a report released in 2008 by the Black Owned Beauty Supply Association – and still, the summer creates or exacerbates some heads.
Stylist Syphira Johnson, 28, of Silver Spring, said having healthy summer hair requires planning and care, and is not reliant upon the amount of money spent on products. Particularly for those Black women who will be going to swimming pools and the beach, prepping ones hair is essential.
A lot of African American women who are athletic will opt out of relaxers altogether in order to keep their hair from being further damaged by chlorine and other chemicals in swimming pools. However, for those who want to keep their hair relaxed and swim, it is crucial that they wrap their hair first, and then use a swim cap,” Johnson said.

Tips for dying brown hair blonde
Summer is on the way and as you dream of warm, sunny days, you decide you want a little (or a lot!) of that sunshine in your hair. Maybe you’ve never tried coloring your own hair, or maybe you are a serious pro; either way, these tips will get your summer color off to a spectacular start!
First, if you are going three shades or more lighter than your original color, you are going to need a bleach. If you have a perm, it is not a good idea to bleach over that as it will severely damage your hair. If you have previously bleached your hair and have more than a month’s worth of growth, this could cause an off-color stripe where the new bleach and old bleach meet.
Most salons call the brown to blonde transition a double process, but some hair color packages don’t explain what these means. Hair is made up of primarily red and black pigments and, as you lighten your hair you remove the black, leaving behind red.
