Link to Sometimes I speak too soon.

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...

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...
