BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters opt for a recyclable bottle of eco-hairspray rather than an aerosol-based one, we'll keep the weight of 8,333 blow dryers in steel outta landfills.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

A poodle named La Marka Lamerle Oscar Wilde was stripped of a prestigious " Best of Breed " title after traces of hairspray were found in her fur during a post-victory check-up.

One too many Aquanet atrocities make you give up on hairspray?

The Bite

Don't fret, pet. Hairspray isn't just for prom queens and pinked-out pageant princesses anymore. Today's hairspray purveyors are going nontoxic and wouldn't touch an aerosol can with an extra-fluffy, afro-fabulous wig.

 

The Benefits

 

Eco-bouffants. Aerosol products contain a carcinogenic chemical that's converted into carbon monoxide in the body. Nonaerosol = no-brainer.

Safer washout. Products made with certified organic ingredients ensure that when you're over your 'do, chems don't wash down the drain and into natural waterways.

Smart packaging. These bottles can be recycled post-use, unlike difficult-to-recycle steel aerosol cans.

 

Personally Speaking

Picture this: Heather, circa 1984. Bangs: check. Big curly hair: check. Valley-girl ponytail on the side, held in place with plastic, cone-like scrunchie: check. Primary tool used to achieve aforementioned look? You guessed it...

 

Wanna Try?

 

Origins Ain't Misbehavin' Lightweight Hair Spray - tames your mane with wheat protein and vitamin B5, while hydrating with aloe ($14).

Aveda Witch Hazel Hair Spray - witch hazel extract and jojoba oil help to achieve that oh-I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-and-my-hair-just-looks-this-fabulous effect ($10).

DIY Bite: Combine two cups of water with the juice of one organic lemon (or orange for dry hair) in a saucepan and simmer until it boils. Cool and strain the mixture, then pour into a spray bottle. Apply to hair, and gloat.
