Green Hair Care



There is a significant green wave hitting this planet, it's taken over our appliances, our clothing, and now it's time to take over those strands upon our heads.

We women spend hours upon hours in hair salons, primping and prepping. But did you know that traditional hair salons waste thousands of gallons of water a day. The shampoos, conditioners, color-treatments and perms are loaded with chemicals, those plastic bottles are rarely recycled, and the water is ALWAYS running!

Mother Earth is requesting too much if she wants up to give up beauty for the sake of the environment. She's a woman so she understands that that can't be done! So, I introduce to you a few salons that are leading the way in reducing our environmental footprint and helping to keep our hair super healthy. These green salons use treatments that are chemical-free and practice recycling waste and water.
