Finally the information you have been searching for! Why doesn't dry shampoo work for YOU!? Here are some quick tips that might turn that hate relationship with dry shampoo, into a love relationship.  First it's important to understand that dry shampoo is NOT a one size fits all. Just like a pair of shoes, the right perfect perfume or shade of red lipstick, you may not get the perfect one for you on the first try. So try, try again. Once you find the dry shampoo that you prefer over all others, spray it on your roots, at the recommended distance by the manufacturer. Separate your hair and spray until your roots are covered. Then, with a clean brush, DO NOT use your fingers or hands, brush the dry shampoo throughout your hair. Style as usual!  For more details check out this video! Don't forget to leave your favorite dry shampoo in the comments section of the video below!   Continue to show support for me by checking out my cruelty-free, woman-owned small business, ma...

The brush you use to blowout your hair is just as important as the products you use. When was the last time you got professional results at home, WITHOUT the use of professional tools and products? Today I am going to talk about the eco-friendly, lightweight, made from bamboo, round brushes by ECOHAIR. These round brushes create volume at the base of scalp and deliver soft rounded shape and movement. They hydrate the cuticle and add shine, while eliminating frizz and flyaways. The base of these brushes are designed to heat and retain heat longer, being more effective when creating a smooth rounded finish. This Ceramic Coated Barrel, when used correctly, can mimic the effect of a curling iron. Think body! The Combo Vent Brush (below) has a blend of ionic and 100% boar bristles giving you the ultimate smooth and shiny finish. These bristles will get better over time... the end result = more polished hair. The length of your hair will determine the diameter of your round br...
