Everyone has had a bad-hair day or an emergency beauty crisis. According to Flaherty and Kollmer, the key to rising above these disastrous situations is to be resourceful and use some smarts. Solutions to those beauty woes can be found using everyday items from the kitchen, bathroom, and even the school cafeteria. Not enough money to take a trip to the salon this week to trim those split ends for the weekend dance? Do not despair because with a few extra-large pitted and skinned avocados mashed up into a paste, those split ends will be temporarily masked through several more washes. Trying to hide those sleepy eyes from the all-night chemistry cramming session? Just revitalize your eyes with chamomile-tea bags, that is. Chamomile is said to have ingredients that fight inflammation thus wiping those tired puffy eyes from existence. Dye job gone wrong? There is no need to panic because there is a way to fix those horrible spots of uneven color without hiring a professional hairdresser. The beauty tips contained in this book are designed for students who cannot afford the costly products advertised in fashion magazines.
