The Hair Care aisle in any supermarket worth its lettuce has more products and new concoctions than any area with the possible exception of the pills aisle. Every box and bottle boasts it can give you heavenly hair like the model on the label. This may be true. The key is knowing "what" and "how to use." We have a beauty shop's library of advice and tips, from choosing a product to picking the best conditioner and how to use it, from selecting a shampoo, hairspray, and anti-frizz to organics and the care and use of curling irons and hair dryers. Dolly Parton may have said, "I don't trust a woman who does her own hair" in Steel Magnolias, but these are the DIY years of the 21st Century!
