Oily hair tips and tricks!!


I know many of you ladies who have issues with oily hair often have to wash your hair daily. Otherwise you opt to use a dry shampoo, or if you're like me, with light, fine hair, you use baby powder. 
I have recently been reading/hearing how baby powder is linked to cancer, (I know- what isn't linked to cancer?!), however I did some research on some alternatives!!
One amazing product is from the haircare line I carry and use in my hairstyling business, it's a Phytovolume Actif volumizing spray. This heat activated volumizing spray contains beetroot alcohol, so this is plant derived which is WAY healthier than a synthetic alcohol. A 4.22 fluid ounce spray bottle is $30 and SHOULD last you at least three months. This can be used in wet or dry hair, but if you use it as a dry shampoo alternative, spray a few spritzes on dry hair at the roots, and blow dry to the desired style. 


  The second product that I have recently found is by Bee All Natural products, which I purchased on Amazon for about $14.00. Pricey?? Maybe a little, but I love that it contains one of the ingredients that you can find in dry shampoos, ( White Kaolin Clay), and also contains arrowroot powder, chamomile, and other organic ingredients.  I use powder mostly at night so that the oils in my hair are absorbed by the powder and I wake up with my hair feeling fresh!!

Welcome!!

Hi everyone!! Welcome, and thank you for reading my blog. Here I will be talking about products and experiences I try, how they affect me, and what I think about them.
If there is something you want to suggest I try, please feel free to email me with suggestions. Or if you have a product you would like me to try or write about, let me know so we can arrange a way for you to get it to me.

    A little bit about me:
I grew up in Utica, NY, I am 32 years old but most people say I look 22. I am a fully licensed cosmetologist, receiving training at Shear Ego in Rochester, NY. I have trained under the amazing Rocky Greco, of Rocky Greco's salon, and have had extensive training in Phyto haircare and Institut Eathederm skin care. I no longer offer coloring or chemical services as they had affected my health very negatively. I am also an amazing waxer!!

I went to MVCC and hold an associates degree in illustration.

I have also trained under the phenomenal photographer Jeff Foley for about four years, if you haven't heard of him, check out his site: www.jefffoley.com
I aspire to be even half as good a photographer as he is.

I currently live in the Albany area, and I am studying at the Institute for Integrative nutrition to be a health coach.
