A little bit ago, I wrote about the next best things portion of the Women’s Health beauty/spa event earlier this week.

A little article in the September Women’s Health magazine gives a few good tips for easier and gentle hairstyling – here are the basic ideas, with some of my embellishments:
1.  Thoroughly wash your hair – spend an extra minute rinsing all the product gunk down the drain.
2.  Don’t bother blowdrying when your bathroom is steamy.  It will take more time and more heat and do more damage to your hair.
