SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 NY Biters wash their hair every other day instead of once in the morning and once after the gym, in one month we'll save enough water to fill more than eight Olympic sized swimming pools.

In the 1800s, people used hair powder on wigs to protect their clothing from excess oil and dirt.

Slick Move

The Bite

Hitting snooze five times leave you sans morning shower? Freshen up those lanky locks with a quick shake of the new Lulu Organics Hair Powder. Good for all hair types and colors, and available in four subtle floral scents, just sprinkle a little on your palms, and massage it into your roots and scalp to soak up excess oil and sweat (great for post-gym, pre-date quick fixes). The Lavender and Clary Sage smells divine and helped spare our pricey color job from over-washing (without smelling like Gram's talc). The retro, circa-1920's packaging is recyclable, and the powder is made with organic ingreds and essential oils. Slick.

Wanna Try

Lulu Organics Hair Powder, available online or at Otte, 121 Greenwich Ave. b/t Jane and Horatio Sts. (212-229-9424). Lavender and Clary Sage Hair Powder, $40.
