Soda
-
Instead of drinking soda, use it as a styling product on your hair. It must be regular soda, not diet. The key ingredient that works on the hair is sugar. Use a clear soda. Pour it into a spray bottle. While your hair is damp, spray three to four sprays on it. Do not brush it through. Scruch the hair with your hands and boost your waves. The soda will help define curls and give the hair a texturized look.
Beer
-
Grab some beer and use it to add volume and clarify your hair. The yeast in beer is what swells the cuticle of the hair, which adds volume. Use a dark beer with a high yeast content. Avoid light beers. After shampooing your hair, pour beer over it. Let it sit for about one minute. Follow with conditioner and rinse out thoroughly.

Milk
-
A crazy beauty tip is to use milk as a dual exfoliant and moisturizer. It is beneficial to the skin as it contains natural fat. It works as an exfoliant due to the lactic acid in it. Milk is perfect for people that have sensitive skin. One way to use it on facial skin is to create a mixture of half full fat milk with half water and put it into a spray bottle. Mist it on your skin to moisturize it. Another way to use it on the skin is to pour one or two cups of full fat milk into your bath.
Match
-
An innovative beauty tip is to create your own eyeliner. Keep in mind that this should only be done if you do not have sensitive eyes. Avoid it if you wear contact lenses. Light a match and then blow out the flame. Let the match completely cool. Rub an eyeshadow brush across the tip of the match. Smudge the soot around your eyes to create a smokey eye.
