Better Hair Through Chemistry.Exploratorium magazine tells us how to reduce our number of "bad hair days" with a little scientific know-how and some common sense. Also, how to make your own Hair Hygrometer!

I avoid bad hair days by letting my hair do whatever it wants. It might still be bad, but it's happy.

Call me a bigot, but I can't take anyone seriously who writes, "About a year ago (about the same time I became a blonde), I started doing a little research into hair and makeup for a book that I planned to write."

Well, I'm a blonde (but it's dishwater blonde, so it doesn't count in the dumb-blonde-joke kind of way) lol... But I am plagued by frizzy hair, and traumatized by bad hair days, and I took the article seriously... I always like it when useful info is presented in a fun way.
