You can also use stockings as a strainer for flaxseed gel, homemade tea rinse to strain the tea leaves, or to separate the coffee beans from infusing in oil.

If the stockings get a little too messy, use this tool to strain the gel from the congealed flaxseeds or to separate the rice from the starchy water for a hair rinse. 

3). Eye Shadow

There are many store-bought hair dyes and sprays to change up your hair color. Yet, there is also eyeshadow! 

I got this idea from The Art Of Hair Shadowing - I Rock My Natural to use eye shadow as a way to temporarily color my hair!

4). Baby Wipes
There are times your scalp needs a light cleaning (especially if you are wearing braids or weave). No need to a dry shampoo! You can also use a wipe to clean out the deep conditioner you missed to rinse out from your hair.

5). Over The Door Shoe Organizer

With the excitement of wanting to try products, tools, and extensions can create limited and cluttered space where you would keep your products. This is especially made for the product junkie!! Use the over the door shoe organizer to hold all of your hair products!


6. Mason Jars, Wine Glasses, Dining Saucers

If you do not want to use an over the door shoe organizer to hold your hair product and accessories, try a mason jar! You could even try a wine glass or dining saucers you are not using in the kitchen.

Natural hair says: don't waste your time and money on store-bought hair tools when you can upcycle household items to use as hair tools.
