Corriger la décoloration de vos cheveux teints
Correct discolouration of your dyed hair
if you are blonde and you notice a ... SHOCK ... green growth among your strands and no amount of washing will permanently correct this, the treatment is really easy. all you need is a BOTTLE OF KETCHUP. douse the ketchup all over your hair and sandwich. massage it into the hair and let it sit for 3 minutes, longer if you can stand your hair smelling like pizza. rinse properly. your blonde locks will shimmer like new!
wait, in the first place, why is my blonde hair turning green? the answer? MOULD and FUNGUS. due to humidity and improperly dried hair, these two fiends will thrive in your hair, thus producing this off the shade greenish hue.
if you are a brunette or red head and you colour job is fading, all you need is an obscenely strong cup of tea. how strong? say, 10 to 15 bags to 250ml of boiling water. let the tea stand, and remember to dunk the bags occasionally, for 20 minutes. once the tea is cool enough for you to handle, pour it all over your hair slowly, pretending you are relishing every tea drenching moment of this. once that's done, rinse your hair. repeat this for the next 6 days. by the end of the week, you'll have vibrantly glossy hair.
if you have black hair and you are facing discolouration, admit it darling, you're getting old. the only thing that can save you? a bottle of cheap, DIY dye.

L'enlèvement progressif de tache de naissance
Progressive birthmark removal
you have an unsightly birthmark and want it remove. but alas, alas! you cannot bear the pain of surgery or laser!

within 4 to 6 months ( who says its a fast process? ) the birthmark will completely disappear, just like magic.
