Green Hair


Now you can even have your hair go green! No it doesn't involve any hair dye. Please keep it as close to your natural color as possible.

This weekend I was up in Phoenix for a hair appointment at Looks Salon in Scottsdale, AZ. Yes I travel two hours to get my hair done. It's a girl thing, I trust my hair to nobody but my stylist Karen.

I realized as I was waiting for Karen to finish up with one of her other clients that the shampoo that she normally uses on my hair, pureology is 100 percent vegan and organic. And really I can say its one of the easiest ways to see how organic products can really change your appearance and your life.

The company's website says it is both cruelty free and vegan and all the ingredients are completely biodegradable. So the shampoo is not only eco-friendly but also animal friendly.

"I really see a difference in my clients hair when they use pureology and organic hair products," Karen said.

I have to admit, however, the price tag is a little bit daunting for a girl like me who usually only buys her grooming products at Target or Walgreens.

The big bottles of the shampoo run usually around as much as almost fifty bucks depending on the salon but it's definitely going to run you more than your normal bottle of Pantene or Head and Shoulders.

For women, though, this investment might be worth it if you normally get your hair colored. According to Karen if you use products with ingredients that are good for nature it may prolong your color and in the end, perhaps even save you money.

"I have definitely noticed a change in my hair's overall health as well after using products like these," Karen said.

Just another way, I have found out how you can be going green in every aspect of your life, head to toe.
