Kasia teams up with Sprout to produce the short video "Hairs on You"

After months of neglecting my damaged hair, I decided it was time for a new look. Wanting a little more “organic” in my styling, I found an all-natural Mpls. salon to trim my locks: Kasia Organic Salon. I was lucky to spend some time with Kassie, the founder of the salon + a natural health and beauty care expert, who shared some of her wisdom.

For example, I had no idea that the average salon-goer like myself comes into contact with ammonia every 4-7 weeks, and that ammonia is considered a hazardous substance with related negative side effects {headaches, weakened hair}. Yikes!

At Kasia, all the products are chemical-free, so nothing to freak out about—except for my new do, which I’m really freaking happy with. Take a look.
