• STEP 1: If your home perm did not take, wait three days before you visit a salon
to have a professional stylist perm your hair.
• STEP 2: If the perm is overdone, apply a deep conditioner to hair from scalp to
the ends. Leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse and set hair in large curlers. If that
doesn't fix it, have a professional stylist relax your overpermed hair.

Chlorine-green hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: Use a hair product designed to remove green from hair, available at
salons, beauty supply stores and drugstores.
• STEP 2: For swimming, apply leave-in conditioner to hair and wear a swim cap
to prevent further greening.
• STEP 3: Shampoo and rinse hair immediately after swimming.
• STEP 4: Monitor and reduce copper levels in pool water, which cause greening.
• STEP 5: If hair is dyed or permed and turns green, visit a reputable salon to have
it corrected.

Dandruff

Instructions

• STEP 1: Wash hair with an over-the-counter shampoo designed to fight dandruff.
Switch brands if shampoo becomes ineffective after several weeks of use.
• STEP 2: Consult a dermatologist in extreme cases.

Gum in hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: Rub peanut butter into hair and around gum and slowly work gum out of
hair. Oil counters gum's stickiness. Shampoo thoroughly afterward. Mayonnaise
and butter also work, but not as well as peanut butter.

Hair loss

• STEP 3: Visit a dermatologist to learn about cosmetic options, including toupees,
weaves and transplants.
