Article: Tea tree oil is an all-natural and highly-effective cleansing agent available at your local drug store or health foods market. Pour one cup of warm water into a medium sized bowl. Add a few drops of tea tree oil and stir to combine. For those with sensitive skin or allergies, using your own shampoo, plus baking soda, is a safe and gentle option. Pour one cup of warm water into a medium sized bowl. Add a teaspoon of shampoo and a teaspoon of baking soda and stir to combine. Using a clean toothbrush, dip the brush end in the solution. Make sure that the toothbrush bristles are completely soaked with the cleansing agent. Take the toothbrush and brush the cylinder or pad from the base, where the bristles are connected to the brush head, all the way to the top. This will remove oil, dandruff, and leftover hair product. Move around the hairbrush methodically to cover the entire surface. Make sure to include small circular motions to help dredge up heavily soiled brushes. After scrubbing the bristled brush cylinder or pad, dip the head of your hairbrush into the cleansing agent. This will help to remove any loose particles, as well as provide a second rinsing, which is particularly useful on stubborn hair product build up. If the hairbrush has a wooden handle or paddle, do not submerge the brush in the water. Most wooden brushes are coated in a moisture repellant, but they aren't 100% resistant. Instead of submerging in the bowl of water, perform one or two additional toothbrush cleanings. Fill a second medium sized bowl with clean and cool water. Lower your hairbrush into the water gently submerging the entire bristled area. For circular brushes, you may have to twist your brush in your palms to make sure the entire area has been rinsed. If you have a wooden bristled brush, hold the brush bristle side down over a sink or a towel. Take a mist or spray bottle and soak the cleansed bristles until the water runs clear from the bristles.

Article: This method works great if you've just gotten out of the shower and your hair is still wet. You can also dampen your hair using a spray bottle filled with water. Having wet or damp hair will make it easier for the curls to hold. You can use pens, pencils, or even a tube of mascara. Look for a tube-shaped object that is wide enough so you can wrap your hair around it twice, as this will give you nice looking curls. You can test out the object by taking a piece of your hair and trying to wrap it around the object. If you can get the piece around your hair twice, you're good to use it for this method. You can also use objects that are different width, such as a pen that is skinny and a tube of mascara that is wide. This will give you some variety and allow you to use the skinner object to curl pieces of hair that are shorter. Hold the curled hair in place with one hand and use the other hand to use hair clips to secure it. Put 1 to 2 hair clips across the curled hair so it stays in place. Pincurl clips are a great option. Because you are not using any heat with this method, you need to give your hair time to set naturally. Allow your hair to dry under the scarf for several hours or sleep with the scarf on so your hair can dry during the night. Once you have let your curls set, carefully remove the hair clips one at a time. Then, use your fingers to carefully separate them so they appear lightly tousled and natural looking. You can shake them lightly or run your fingers through them. Do not brush or comb your curls, as this will flatten the curls.
