Herbal hair dye - now this is a tricky subject. I know people want to cover their grey or maybe just fancy experimenting with a new look, but dye's-especially used regularly- can cause all sorts of havoc on not just your hair but the rest of your body as well with some people claiming a link between the chemicals used in dyes and certain cancers. We are gradually seeing an increase in "natural" hair dyes many of which are based on henna (a flowering plant found in Africa, Asia and Australasia), but again check out the ingredients lists when considering which to buy. Henna dyes work more like a varnish on the hair protecting it, whereas chemical dyes open the hair up and get inside.
Drink lots - preferably water. Now I've always been told I don't drink enough and that's partly as I can't stand drinking cold water, but I have found it easier to pour a glass and leave it for an hour or two to reach room temperature. This makes it much less of a chore to drink and it actually better for your organs too as apparently they don't like anything too hot or cold either. The body dehydrates surprisingly easily and when it does the water your body does have is diverted to the parts that need it most leaving hair skin and nails suffering.
A way that many people experiment with their hair without resorting to dyeing is by using accessories. I'm not just talking scrunchies and hair bands. Nowadays there is a huge range of hair accessories available on the high street and online. Scarves, clips, ties are the most widely available but also keep an eye out for clip-in "flashes" (like extensions but available in wild colours), dreads and braids, they're a safe and quick way to change your look to suit your mood and they last a lot longer than hair dye ever will!

Brush your hair before you go to bed. And if you have long hair tie it back at night. The knottier your hair gets the more likely it's to break while brushing it. A good way to avoid static is to use a wooden brush and if its FCS approved it helps the environment too!
