I think sometimes we forget that skin is an organ. Putting chemicals on your scalp and so close to your nose and actually have a very negative affect on your health.

Just a great video- I didn't know John Masters had a salon, and now I find out that my cousin gets to go there once a month.... ah to be so lucky.

I've hear that aloe left in your hair is good for conditioning. Has anyone else heard about this?

I to have the fizzy hair blues in summer with the humidity. I've tried leaving conditioner in my hair, but that typically turns into a mess. Any suggestions?

This is nice to see a store I traditionally think of as an organic food sorce, promoting and carring products for hair and body.

Great coverage a splendid topic. Traditional salon color treaments are truly horrific for your hair over time.

I didn't know that Avacado was good for curly hair. I love that! Good for the body. Good for the hair. Makes sense.

@mod*mom John Masters products are available in most of our regions, but if you don't see a product you're looking for on the shelf, just ask a Whole Body Team Member and they will order it for you. Good luck!
