Hey kids.

I'm a brunette (for now)!

And my last final is tomorrow.  I'm ready to get out of this blogging funk and go to my seeestors graduation this weekend!

The Sulfate Monsta!

I'm here to warn you all about a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It smells good, it lathers nicely, it may have a cool soundtrack to it's commercial.

Maybe it moisturizes, maybe it voluminizes, maybe it's a two in one shampoo-conditioner combo.

But if the list on the back of your shampoo bottle states sulfate as an ingredient, say goodbye to it!

"But my conditioner has quiz questions about random things on the back of it, and I have to buy the shampoo to know the answer!"

"But I've been using mine since I was a child!"

"But I like how mine smells like a tropical island!"

But sulfate is not only bad for hair, but its also bad for the environment.

Sulfate strips the crikey out of your hair, and leaves it dry, like what happens to your nose when you blow it too much.  Like your lips with windburn.  Like cleaning your skin with a brillo pad.Get what I'm a-sayin?

It's used in engine degreaser.

Luckily, there are a lot of wonderful shampoos out there that are free of the sulfate monsta.

Like...

Abba Organics

Burt's Bees

Loreal Everpure, Everstrong, and Eversleek

Do yourself and your hair and your planet a favor?  Don't buy that sulfate shiz.

Elizabeth Taylor Week: The Dark Hair

During the few hours I let the temporary black hair spray sit in my hair that I bought last Halloween for my Rosie the Riveter costume, I began to feel really mysterious and the extra urge to procrastinate and parade around in my fake-black crusty hair!


I know that I'm a redhead at heart, but I want to have that midnight hair that shines like glass!


That dark luscious hair like Elizabeth Taylor has!

If you want to dye your hair 2 shades darker than it already natural hair color, be safe and get it done professionally.  Or just spray the color on like me.

A Case of the Greasies

Since I've gotten my bangs, I find myself playing with them entirely too much.

Therefore, my hair gets really greasy really easily.

THANK GOD FOR DRY SHAMPOO.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo is aweeeesome.  I bought it last year and would use it whenever I didn't have time to wash my hair for whatever reasons.  Some of my friends would even come to my room before class and use it.  Alas, I've run out.

But, the good ol' baby powder works almost just as well!

 You just have to be careful that you rub it into your roots throughly, or else you'll look like you have grey hair.

I don't really feel like washing my hair, because it's almost 1 in the morning, so I'm breaking out the Johnson and Johnson's. holla.

I took the stars from our eyes and then I made a map

Hallelujah!  

It's Friday. 

I went to a Florence and the Machine concert a few weeks ago with my friend Gretchen and her sister Jackie in New York City.  She was SOSOSOSOSO amazing live; I was hypnotized by her performance and would see her again. And again. And again.

On top of having a glorious voice and bomb ass stage presence, she also has great hair.

  

So, I'm using Florence as my hair role model and I'm getting bangs tonight!

And I'll also probably get some new makeup because they just opened a new Sephora in our mall that I have yet to check out. So of course I will impulsively buy everything in my line of vision.

Bye bye paycheck.
