We’ve all been there before.
The shrieking alarm goes off at 7 am and you turn it off, deciding to rest your eyes for just another five minutes. Five minutes turns into a full-on hour, and suddenly, you’re scrambling into work clothes and hightailing it to the office sans shower.
Sometimes pulling your mane into a ponytail isn’t enough to hide greasy bangs and roots. That’s when you should have Principessa Bianco Breeze Hair & Body Powder underneath the sink. This powder takes care of more than your mane — it also doubles as a dirty body savior, sopping up extra oils with its chamomile, calendula, Vitamin E and aloe ingredient combination.

In my adolescent heyday, Salon Selectives was THE hair product line to buy.
I felt like a cool kid back in 90s (operative word is “felt”), spraying my bangs upward within an inch of its life into a rock-hard wall of alcohol and unpronouceable ingredients, way before fancy brands like Sebastian and Bumble and Bumble took hold of my mane heart.
