Ever wonder how women in the hundreds of years before the hair industry came along kept their hair gorgeous? One awesome trick for thinning hair is a basic, no crap ingredient dry shampoo: arrowroot starch. That’s it. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a lovely smell, if you want. It builds volume exponentially as the week goes on until it’s time to shampoo again. Put a small amount between your palms, rub it into your scalp and dry hair, then using a fluffy towel remove the excess, comb or brush your hair after and you are done. I inherited my mother’s baby fine, straight as a stick, droopy dandelion sad hair. In my 50s, managing diabetes and a wonky thyroid among other things, but you’d never know it. Everyone tells me I have a 30 year old’s skin, too. Because I take care of it from the inside out and don’t ruin what nature gave me by fueling the makeup industry’s execs and their trust fund offspring.

Don’t take my word for. Please. Just grab one of your hair care products and search the Internet for every single ingredient so you know what it is. Do the same with one of your make up items. Many ingredients in our every day products are banned in Europe due to the proven carcinogenic consequences of use (carcinogenic=cancer). Spend an hour or two and blow your mind.
