Heated vs Natural Hair

Sorry men, this tip is for the ladies… but you are more than welcome to use this tip too if you wish to.  However you can apply this tip, keep reading and it’s at the end.  Now this is a “touchy” subject because “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but what does having beautiful hair mean to you?  In today’s society, soft, smooth, and well-pampered hair is highly desired and all it takes to get that is a little bit of heat.  That heat is generated through electrical devices such as hair dryers, curlers, and straighteners.  Every person has a different hairstyle and uses different techniques to style it.  However, I am going to encourage you to let your hair flow naturally every once in awhile. 

There are many different hairstyles that still look nice and don’t require electrical devices.  Visit the youtube channel, Loepsie, and view her tutorial videos on how to create cute natural hairstyles.  By eliminating the use of your electric devices, you are reducing your electricity consumption.  This will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced during energy production and electrical consumption.  This tip will also reduce the cost on your energy bill. 

Now men, this is where you can apply this tip.  Encourage your significant other that their hair is beautiful all the time.  When it’s strait, curly, or natural, it’s always beautiful.  This will also cut electrical costs personally and environmentally.  I’m not telling you to never make your hair look nice, maybe just reduce the amount of heat you apply to it.  You will also be saving your hair from making it dead faster.  Your hair does not define your beauty, it’s how you love it, own it, and work it!    

Environmentally Friendly Curly Hair!

Sorry boys, but this post is mainly geared towards the beautiful women that want to save the world.  I mean, men can use this tip if they would like to.  Alright, now perfect curls are hard to come by especially since they take a long time to curl, use a ton of product to hold, and usually end up going flat by the end of the day/evening.  You never probably notice this, but having artificial beautiful curls does have an impact on our environment since you are using an electric heating device and spraying loads of product into your hair and atmosphere. 

However, I have a solution for you!  Well, Lucy has a solution for you.  This girl has found the secret to having beautiful environmentally friendly curls.  Watch this video to learn how you can curl your hair simply with a single sock!  She also has more videos other environmentally friendly hairstyles.  Now I know this sounds crazy, but it works!  Try it out, tell your friends, and get rid of those curling irons because socks are the next HOT item!  

Check Out the Aveda Institute

One thing that college students typically have a hard time finding being away from home is a place to get a haircut.  You may eventually find a friend, who knows a friend, who may suggest a certain salon.  However, I have an easier solution for you.  Go online and find out if there is an Aveda Institute nearby and get your hair cut there!  You may have heard of Aveda before, they are known for their all-natural beauty products including hair, skin, and makeup products.
