Why didn't I think of this?

An amazing, recession friendly hair tip from Holic.boX courtesy of face-a-holic friend Polaris Supernova:

Instead of spending your hard-earned cash on fancy products to make your hair look like you spent a day at the beach lounging in the sun and splashing in the ocean, just bring some of the ocean home with you to re-create the look!

Check out the post HERE to rule the shore with your sexy waves.

If you can't get to the beach or feel more comfortable making your own salt-water spray at home, mix about 1/4 cup of salt into a spray bottle of water, mist onto freshly showered hair, and let your hair dry naturally.

Jonathon Create Volume Thickening Foam

$24- Sephora.com

First of all, let me tell you what I love about this product: It's vegan (just like me!), it's tested on celelbrities (as opposed to helpless bunnies), and most of the ingredients are natural and healthy for your hair.

It also makes good on its promises! I have very fine curly hair that tends to succumb to "triangle head" with flat roots and frizzy ends so I worship a product that can give my roots some lift and bounce. This product does exactly what it promises, it thickens the strands of my hair and gives it much-needed lift, and that's without any blow-drying or heat styling!

The one thing that disappointed me about the product (aside from the fact that it contains parabens, which I knew and accepted when I bought it) was that it made my hair a little stiff, for lack of a better word. My hair wasn't hard or hair-spray stiff by any means, but it lacked the fresh softness and flexibility that it usually has after a shower. Not a deal-breaker, but just something to think about.

I would use this product if I'm looking for a style with a little extra hold, maybe for a night out or a daytime up-do or sophisticated pony, but not for a soft, sexy "hair-tossable" style.

So, just to wrap up, overall this product is good. It's natural, vegan, and it delivers on the volume front and thickens fine strands. Not so good is the residual stiffness once your hair has air-dried (which could probably be combatted by a blow dryer). Overall I highly recommend Jonathon products, love the natural ingredients and that there is no animal testing! If you've tried any let me know your experience!

Has anyone tired "Dirt", I'm dying to try it but I'll admit I'm a little intimidated, is there such a product that can really give you that perfect, sexy, "second day" hair?
