In the Hair Tonight

The Bite:
Been waiting for greener hair styling tools all your li-ife? Oh lord, yes. From low-energy dryers to sustainable wood brushes, get your Phil right here.
The Benefits: 
  • A planetary hit. Draining less power and utilizing greener-than-average materials such as bamboo and non-PVC plastic, these products show that a good hair day doesn't have to mean a bad day for the planet.
  • The Genesis of great hair. These products do your 'do right - whether it's drying, straightening, or styling.
Personally Speaking: 
Jenifer loves that with the Silence HP she can dry her hair while listening to her music of choice rather than feeling like she's standing behind a jet engine on the tarmac.
Wanna Try: 
  • Silence HP Graphite - superquiet hair dryer that uses about 2/3 less power than conventional versions (so it takes slightly longer, but is gentler on your hair), is made in USA, and includes a lifetime warranty ($139). Mention Ideal Bite when you order by phone (800-522-4512), and get $25 off.
  • Rusk Go Green Str8 Iron - ceramic straightener with a motion-sensor hibernate function so it automatically turns down when you haven't used it for 10 minutes, and all packaging is recycled ($75). Enter the code IDEAL09 during checkout, and get 25% off any of its Go Green products. Offer ends Sep. 25.
  • Aveda Ceramic Round Brush - made using recycled plastic, this round brush heats when you use it in combo with a hair dryer, reducing drying time ($22). Enter the code IDEALBITE during checkout, and receive free shipping, plus a sample of Aveda's Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother with Aveda.com orders of $25 or more.
  • Body Shop Brushes and Comb - made with wood from sustainably managed forests ($7-$16).
  • Scünci Eco Jaw Clips - recycled-plastic clips that help you separate your locks while you style ($3).

Cocktail Fact

Rapper's delight: Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" has been sampled in more than 15 rap songs, including tracks by Lil' Kim, LL Cool J, and Tupac.

Bang For The Bite

They're pretty pricey, but if 10,000 Biters choose a low-energy hair dryer, the energy we'll save in a year could power a home for that year.

There is a company called Widu (www.widu.com) that makes wooden bristle brushes from sustainable only forests, and they have just introduced a line of hair brushes from recycled wood - they are wonderful and give a scalp massage while preventing hair breakage.
So, you can buy one of these low-energy blow-dryers for $114 (with the discount) and *still* use 2/3 as much energy as you would with a conventional blow-dryer... or you can buy a microfiber towel for $20 that does less damage to your hair and uses no electricity at all. (It doesn't have to be one specially designed for hair, either. I picked mine up in the auto supply department at Target and it does the job just fine.)
Dear Haverwench, The statement regarding Silence HP energy usage was misstated. It correctly should say Silence HP uses up to two-thirds "LESS" energy than most conventional dryers. We agree that using a towel to remove moisture from the hair is a great idea.In fact, our Care & Directions suggest this technique. However there are many of us that are not fortunate enough to look good by simply towel drying our hair.Silence HP is designed to give the hair lift and direction to create the desired style.Regardless, when using Silence HP you use less energy than conventional dryers & it's almost as quiet as your microfiber towel!
Hello, This article talks about better blow dryers and hot irons... but misses the point. These products will still damage your hair. Over time, your hair will appear dried out and less attractive.

Spend more money to have damaged hair, or spend no money to have more radiant hair?

I'm the author of a popular guide for growing long hair. I've studied, researched, and tested the best techniques for growing long beautiful hair. In my guide, there is a wealth of information I guarantee you have not seen before. Why settle for less than gorgeous hair?

I understand that many people are used to time consuming, expensive hair styles that require blow drying, or hot irons. It may be hard to believe, but you can have an easier, cheaper, better looking style. Wouldn't you like to save money and time everyday, and look better?

You can! Ditch your hair dryer and irons and check out:

How about some mention of bamboo handled, natural bristle brushes??
Wow, I will definitely try some of these "green" hair products out. I only hope that they are priced right so that we can all do our share for the planet. casino en ligne
I had to stop brushing/combing my hair, it was causing me scalp and forehead pain with breaking out no matter how gently I did it (multiple allergies and sensitivites here). I knew it was not my hair products but the tools, so I tried natural bristles. no cigar. Blessedly, all-bamboo brushes and combs with very smooth rounded tips soon appeared at my favorite HFS, Vitamin Cottage. Blessings, indeed. They are by Bass. I don't recall their price; it didn't matter to me to get what I needed. Also - over-styled my naturally wavy full hair straight for way too long (decades!). Finally went totally natural and gradually to very short. I and everyone I know love the real me finally let out - and my hair stylist raves about how healthy my hair is. Now I don't want to "waste" electricity on hair tools, so don't even for special occasions - and the real me shines even more. The tip here is: confidence, right-actions, healthy eating and conscious happiness are the best beauty tools ever!
