Once a month make a strong hibiscus tea and let it cool, add seaweed powder - enough to make a paste. Seaweed is very rich in calcium, minerals, and magnesium.

Add some orange oil to this mix and scrub your scalp with this mixture for approximately 5 minutes. Cover with a plastic cap and warm towel for 30 minutes. Rinse and let air dry.

Use a straightening iron to flatten curls or waves. If you have coarse, thick curls, using a straightener might be an option for you. Opt for a professional relaxing treatment if you want results that will last for more than a month.

Apply texturizing paste or gel to short or medium length hair, which will result in a "punkish," chunky look. Such products are particularly useful for creating spikes or bevels.

Use a thickening spray or mousse on fine, flat hair. Brushing the product through the hair with a wide tooth comb will maximize body and volume. Your hair stylist can also do this for you as part of a professional blowout with results that may last several days.
