A Simple Solution to My Hair Predicament

Link to A Simple Solution to My Hair Predicament

I rarely regret my decision to avoid shampoo, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't occasionally miss the scent of freshly-washed hair. Hair that smells like nothing can get pretty boring, and without that just shampooed look/feel/scent, I often forget when I last used baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Because of this, I tend use baking soda more frequently than is necessary. This is both wasteful and not so great for my already dry hair.

Amber, my talented hairstylist, often mixes a few drops...

 So I didn't get bangs or all my hair chopped off, but I'm feeling better about my long hair than I have in months. Amber at Intricid Salon tells me that I can easily achieve the long, lovely locks that I want with the help of a daily mutivitamin and less razoring. Oh boy! Until then, maybe I'll just pretend to have short hair occasionally with the help of this sweet...

A Hair Rut

I'm getting my hair cut today, and it has caused me an unnecessary amount of stress. I should probably do something, since I've been in kind of a hair rut lately, but I'm having trouble deciding on the specifics.

A small part of me wants to leave the salon with a cute bob, similar to the one above.

Katie's sweet bangs make me wish I hadn't even decided to grow mine out.

    Hey guys, I hope you're all having the best week. Here are a few links to some summer/beach related articles I've recently come across. Enjoy! Several of these casual updos could easily be recreated for a relaxing day on the beach or just a hot day in the sun. This sunscreen infographic is so informative! I love arming myself with useful information. Parts 1 and 2 of Eco Stiletto's Eco Bikini Feature are very promising. Bikinis made from recycled water bottles and organic cotton? I can't wait for parts 3-4! Get a bikini wax this month and kill...

Beach Waves Made Easy

It's a fact: Everyone's hair looks better when they're at the beach. Those effortless waves are hard to beat. Unfortunately, most of us can only make it to the beach for a week or so out of the year (if we're lucky). The state of our hair should not depend on our proximity to the beach, and with this simple sea salt spray, it doesn't have to!   I've been using Danielle's homemade bottle of sea salt spray for the past couple of weeks, and I'm loving the results. My hair...

Cleaning Your Boar Bristle Hairbrush

Link to Cleaning Your Boar Bristle Hairbrush

While typing my recent post about washing my hair less, I learned that boar bristle brushes should be cleaned regularly and thoroughly. I had no idea! Sure, I'd combed the bristles of mine occasionally, but that was about it. I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to give my boar bristle brush a deep cleaning, since a cleaner brush would logically result in cleaner hair. Behaving logically might not be something that comes naturally to me. For those of you who are completely unfamiliar with...

Link to Washing My Hair Less: A Learning Experience

 

I've always longed for the kind of hair that never has to be washed but still looks great. Danielle was lucky enough to be born with such hair, but some people have to work for it. I'm one of those people, and I'm finally starting to work for it. For the past three weeks, I've been washing my hair only once a week, and I'm actually starting to see a difference in my hair! It's shinier and it requires less heat styling to make presentable. You might be wondering how a greasy-headed girl like me could possibly get...

  I purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Lavender Coconut Hair Creme around last July, but I guess it got lost in the abyss that is my bathroom cabinet. I ended up giving it to Danielle at some point, and then it really wasn't a concern of mine. I'm not sure what reminded me of it, but here I am with a very late review. Ingredients (provided at drbronner.com)- "Water, Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Ethanol, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Lavender...

Link to Guest Review: Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

Hi, everyone! My friend Anna, who has indisputably awesome hair, has generously agreed to review Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment. Until now, I'd never heard of this stuff, but it seems like something that I might need in my life. Ingredients (provided at sephora.com)- “Elaeis Oleifera, Fragrance, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Citric Acid, Serenoa Serrulata, Prunus Africana. This specific product wasn't in the Cosmetic Safety Database, but Lecithin and Fragrance are the only two ingredients with hazard scores above a three. Some great things about this product: 1....
