David Babaii, a celebrity hair stylist, says a new and un-used toothbrush is a great household product; it can be used to back brush close to the scalp area for volume or even sweep away those fly-a-ways. Going back in time, an old soda pop can still do the trick of setting hair and achieving large lopped curls.

Some other ideas David suggests are to use household rubber bands for your messy ponytails or braids. And, don’t discard those dryer sheets. There is usually some fragrance left over to wipe your combs and brushes to not only freshen them but help with static as well.

Finally, use ribbons, scarves and other items you have lying around (or even ones that wrapped a gift!) to add some jazz to your ‘do. A ribbon can make a regular ponytail flirty and a scarf can make just about any look more eco-chic. This all helps to reduce the amount of household waste and makes for a great environmentally friendly choice for DIY hair.

Use Household Items to Achieve Glam

Something else I loved when I was younger, maybe a little bit younger then high school, was ribbon in my hair. I would tie in in my hair every day. In pigtails, in pony tails, as a headband, there was always ribbon in my hair. I need to bring that trend back.

Maybe it’ll slowly come back with this Kate Spade bow group mirra clutch for $245. It has two shades of pink and screams that “ribbon in your hair” throw back. Carrying it around will take you right back to elementary school. Or, it’ll at least take me back to elementary school. It’s a soft leather with a magnetic closure. You’ll be able to fit a wallet, a cell phone, and some lip gloss in there. It’s 4 and a half inches high by almost 11 inches wide and 8 inches deep.
