The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

If you start noticing that you're shedding significantly more than that or your hair isn't growing back, well, that's when things start to get a little...hairy (sorry, we couldn't resist!). Hair loss can be caused by so many different things that it can be tough to figure out what's causing your locks to take a hike.

Your scalp is an extension of your skin, with thousands of sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and sweat glands. When it's healthy (just like the healthy soil of a garden bed), the hair follicles are able to flourish and produce strong, luscious locks. On the flip-side, a sensitive scalp can lead to all sorts of hair woes (aka, weeds!). 

The Curly Girl Method is a fabulous haircare system specifically designed to tame curly-mop madness. Essentially, the Curly Girl Method is like a detox for your hair. Instead of omitting alcohol or sugar from your life, you avoid heat styling, certain ingredients and over-washing.

Mastering the art of defining your curls and fending off frizz is not always the easiest task to behold. Curly hair can be kinda needy. It also likes to go rogue, thanks to its wild and free nature. So today we’re schooling you on how to bid goodbye to an unruly bouffant and say hello to beautifully coiffed curls.

There's lots of talk about the good, bad, and ugly of including silicones in your haircare routine. So, what gives? Are they really THAT bad for you? Truth is: not all silicones are created equal. Let’s weigh in on the science and debunk a few myths about silicones while we're at it.

Frizzy hair can be a pesky problem that takes on a mind of its own. Think fuzzy strands that run amuck, particularly during humid weather. But hey, don’t fret. Spectacularly smooth locks don’t have to be a pipe dream. With a little TLC, you can kick frizzy hair to the curb. Where. It. Belongs. 

As adults, we know that body odour is totally normal. However, for teens/tweens, the hormonal changes that cause body odour can often start when they’re as young as eight or nine (and even younger for some!). Many kids don’t notice their own body odour, so bringing up the topic early can help lessen self-consciousness.

Body hair is a funny ‘ol thing. Sure, the hair on your head is cool. You can style it, colour it, cut it, braid it – you name it. But when it comes to underarm hair, what’s the point of it? Is it totally useless? Turns out it's not... but it DOES impact how well your deodorant works.

Unfortunately we can’t control the damage caused by external aggressors (like wind, UV rays and pollution), but we can make conscious choices about the products we choose to slather on our strands. Here are just a few reasons why making the switch to natural might be the best treat you can give your cheesed-off tresses – and your conscience.

It’s easy to become bamboozled about which products to include in your daily skincare regimen and in what order. Maybe yours currently involves a fancy 10-step routine? Or maybe you’re more of a wash, rinse, repeat kinda’ person? The truth is that each skincare routine is as unique and individual as the person following it.

We are smack bang in the middle of summer – aka sandal and thong season (for our USA friends thongs = flip flops). There’s a certain freedom that comes with being barefoot or wearing minimal footwear even if it has its perils. The dreaded sandal blowout… Doing the funky chicken […]
