We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

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.
