Cocoa Powder Dry Shampoo

I've always been wary of dry shampoos. Basically it's just powder sprinkled on your head to absorb the oils. It just seemed weird to me. Plus the one time I tried it I was combing/washing powder out of my head for days afterward. I think I used Jean Nate bath powder. It was the 70s.

Sooo, I just read somewhere that cocoa powder is a good dry shampoo for brunettes! Hmmm! That sounds interesting. 

Luckily, my hair could benefit from any kind of shampoo today, so I was ready to experiment!

Hair Masque for Everyone!

I discovered hair masques when I went to Ojo Caliente with my pal Briana and took a plunge into the mud/clay pool. You wallow around in the mud and then lay on your lounge chair and bake like a tandoori under the New Mexico sun with all the other freaks. Let me tell you, it's quite the spectacle. So I decided to go for it and put mud all over my whole self, hair included. It was a bold decision. Brash. Not many have the constitution for it. After I rinsed it off, my hair (honest to Mother Mary) looked amazing. AMAZING! It was soft and fluffy. I was really pretty shocked. So I thought I'd try to recreate the effects at home. Note: this is a messy procedure, people. If you use henna, be careful not to get it on anything made of cloth as it can stain.
