Hair Care

January 2008

By Amy Spagnola
  • Sometimes routine is a good thing. Wake up, shower, coffee, work, home. Routine is order, it is necessity. But there are other times when it’s essential to break out of a rut, especially a beauty rut. And with all the beauty products lining the shelves it’s easy to fall into a brand-name rut. Sticking with a favorite shampoo is not a bad thing, but why not branch out and dare to spoil yourself in luxury that is non-mainstream. There is a rainbow of salons, spas and stores selling beauty products that are in essence homemade. These products are not sold everywhere, not in your best friends’ medicine cabinet, not used by mom. These are the beauty treasures that are sure to make your routine a little bit unpredictable.
