GREEN qoute of the WEEK
Only when the last tree has been cut down,
Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Green meets Girl is officially a HEALTHY BITCH
Read all about how to turn your hair GREEN at Healthybitchdaily.com!
Reduce Your HAIRPrint
Overnight Kate Gosselin ruined a beloved hair trend with long locks and an extension bill large enough to bail us out of national debt. But many women started to ponder, hmmm, what if I added eight inches, would it look natural? While adding hair extensions is as inconspicuous as a baby at a bar, the hair itself can still be natural and green. Yes Goldilocks, hair can be eco-friendly.
We all, for the most part, are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint, so why not start with our hair? Salons all over the world are embracing the “green” movement. But most salon efforts range from hair recycling programs to chemical-free hair products. The list goes on, just ask Susy Borlido, director of the government funded business greening program for Sustainable Works in Santa Monica, California. Here are just a few “green”steps salons are taking:
Hair Recycling Program. Did you know hair naturally absorbs oil? Matter of Trust is a non-profit organization that accepts hair clippings from hair salons and creates mesh hair mats with them. These mats are then used to soak up oil spills in the ocean. Getting a haircut never felt so good. www.matteroftrust.org
Hair Extensions. Enjoy long locks without jeopardizing the environment. Pure Extensions is an eco-friendly hair extension company that uses a cold bond application that is completely free of heat, wax, chemicals and glue. However, salons that do extensions are still being eco-conscious if they are recycling the hair.
Recycling. Salons can recycle everything from the foils that are placed on your head to the plastic cap that covers your hair during a deep-conditioning treatment. Color tubes and the packaging they come in, along with any plastic or cardboard that makes its way into the salon can also be recycled.
Hair Color. You can still be a natural beauty and color your hair. Eco Colors is a non-toxic permanent haircolor. It’s sulfite free, paraben free, propylene glycol free and ethanolamine free. www.ecocolors.net
Remember, do your research and ask your stylist how they are contributing to making the planet a better place. And don’t worry, Kate might return to her roots any day now.

Hair gone GOOD
Last year, I had a few friends who attended Sundance and told me about this documentary. It wasn't until recently I watched it and Chris Rock has a new place in my heart:)
Check out Good Hair with Chris Rock!
"...researches the dangers of many common hair-straightening treatments, reveals the surprising expense of regular hair "relaxing" and weaves, and ponders what the pursuit of straight hair says about African-American cultural identity. Good Hair received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival." www.goodhair.com
