Something salty

Per my promise in my this Sunday's (June 22) Fashion Flash column, here are some hair-care recipes using Epsom salt, which you can find for pennies on the dollar at local grocery stores.

— To remove hairspray build-up, mix 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1 cup of Epsom Salt into 1 gallon of distilled water; cap it, and let it sit for 24 hours. Pour this mixture onto dry hair, and let sit for 20 minutes, then shampoo as normal.

— To remove excess oil from your hair, and keep it healthy and shiny like Reese Witherspoon’s, add 9 tablespoons of Epsom Salt to 1/2 cup of shampoo. Apply 1 tablespoon of the liquid to your hair when it’s dry; rinse with cold water. Pour lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar through the hair, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse.

— To keep highlighted hair like Jessica Simpson’s from fading, try this soothing cucumber hair drench. Use 1 egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 of a peeled cucumber and 1/2 cup of Epsom Salt. Blend the egg, olive oil, Epsom Salt and cucumber in a food processor. Spread this evenly through hair, and leave it in for 10 minutes, then rinse. This is perfect if you swim in a chlorinated pool on a regular basis.

Peace, love and ... Well, Epsom salt, I guess ... xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
