5 hair tips from James Brown

Got a free James Brown hair mask from Marie Claire this month, so these are the tips attached in the package. Apparently, James Brown is Kate Moss's favourite, so will look forward to try out. Also, his products are exclusive in Boots.

1. Nourish
   Smother hair mask all over dry, brittle or lacklustre hair for an instant perk up. For fine hair, use a walnut sized amount on the lengths and ends and leave for 10 minutes. For coarse or thick hair, the mask should cover the whole head. Wrap in a towel and leave for 30minutes. Finish with a good rinse.



2. Shine
   For mega-watt shine, groom hair with a paddle brush before bedtime to massage the scalp, then sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent the cuitcles becoming ruffled



3. Manage
   For unruly hair, leave in a tiny amount of conditioner instead of rising - this will make it less frizzy and more manageable.



4. Lift
   For dull and flat hair, wash twice, rinse well and towel dry before applying conditioner. This will help the hair strands to absorb the conditioner instead of just coating the surface.



5. Polish
   For polished, smooth hair push conditioner into the hair shafts by twisting small sections tightly from root to tip. Repeat until the whole head is covered, then rinse.
