Remember my less than glowing review of skinnyskinny's jasmine organic dry shampoo? Well, I recently discovered that the dry shampoo works. Not only that, but it actually works quite well. My problem? I used it on hair that simply had too much product buildup (ie: hair that needed to actually be washed), and when I used it on other occasions I simply wasn't using enough of it to see results. So, here I am to admit that I am sometimes the worst and completely wrong...

The first of the four samples I tried was the Green Tea Detox Clay Mask, and that's the gem I'll be reviewing today.

Would you believe me if I said those weren't my Cheetos in the first picture? They really weren't. Enjoy the holiday weekend, and wear something green if you dislike being pinched. Does...
