Fair Trade Makes a Great Shave!
August 4, 2008 by Courtney · Leave a Comment
Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Shaving Gel ($7.99) uses all natural, organic and fair trade ingredients to moisturize skin and provide a close, smooth shave. Glycerin and coconut and jojoba oils lubricate skin to help the razor glide along without any nicks or cuts. Lavender oil is traditionally known for it’s relaxing scent, but it also is a great anti-inflammatory and balancer for skin. Massage a liberal amount into skin and shave normally for hair-free skin and a guilt-free conscience.

Bay leaf, peppermint and linseed infusions condition your scalp for a better head of hair overall. This natural product uses fair trade and organic ingredients, yet provides dramatic hold. Use on wet or dry hair, before or after styling, for an intense and sexy style!
Making Waves
July 17, 2008 by Courtney · Leave a Comment
Creating sexy, defined waves that look natural can be challenging. Here’s a simple way you can make waves this summer, at the beach or at the office:
- Wash your hair as you normally would and condition.
- Squeeze out excess water from your hair and gently towel-dry. Use a wide tooth comb to detangle.
- Apply a salt-infused styling product such as Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray ($23.99) for hold and natural texture. Comb through hair to evenly distribute.
- Braid hair in sections. Keep in mind that larger braids will give you looser waves. Have fun experimenting with this part until you find the size and number of braids that gives you the look you want!
- Let hair dry naturally, or blow dry. It’s important to make sure hair is completely dry before you remove the braids. Otherwise, your waves will not have fully taken shape and will fall flat.
- When hair is completely dry, take out the braids. Shape your now wavy hair with your fingers, and style as desired. You may wish to apply hair spray for added hold, especially if your hair is very fine.
Congratulations! You’ve just created post-swim waves…without going near the ocean!
