Remember being a little kid and getting ready for a dance recital? Your mom would spray down your bun and your hair would literally crunch. Yuck. Not to mention the fumes from that stuff, yikes! It's true, the hairsprays of yesteryear have a bad rep for leaving hair sticky, flakey, and stiff. The good news? The times have changed. Today's hairsprays not only give you flexibility and hold, they also pump up your volume, help fight humidity, and add natural looking shine. At least we've got that going in 2020! We're pleased to introduce to you our 5 favorite, oh-so-modern hairsprays for holding curls, setting updos, and keeping fine hairs in line.

KEEP IT HEALTHY. Beard serum is the most invaluable beard care product. Beard serum hydrates the beard with natural oils giving it an attractive smell, look, and healthy feel. Our favorite is by American Crew. This serum nourishes, regenerates and provides protective properties for a healthy appearance. The organic oils in the serum combine with the natural oils your skin produces helping to balance out dry skin from over washing. KEEP IT CLEAN. Beards need to be washed. Just think about how often you run your fingers through yours... yikes! We recommend American Crew's Leave-In Beard Foam Cleanser for a quick way to clean with no water needed. This cleanser will leave a refreshing after feel and scent. its super easy to use and the quick absorbing dry foam is long lasting, leaving the beard clean and free of daily residue. KEEP IT IN LINE. We love American Crew's Beard Balm Conditioner and Styler. This soft balm tames and conditions the beard with flexible application. It Features sweet almond oil and Shea Butter that conditions the beard and adds shine. Place a small amount onto palms, distribute evenly through the beard, and style if desired. Easy enough! HAVE A BACKUP PLAN. So the beard just wasn't for you? Be prepared for that first shave with American Crew aftershave balm that helps prevent irritation from shaving. The All-In-One Face balm moisturizes shaved areas to minimize redness, and skin irritation. Innovative ingredients fight the signs of aging and prevent ingrown hairs. Use this as a daily moisturizer to keep that newly exposed skin looking young and feeling fresh. Why not pamper Mom this year? From extra convenient tools to extra indulgent skincare, our Mother's Day Gift Guide has it all! 
CBD oil (cannabidiol) is having a moment right now! The beauty and skincare industry is embracing the oil in everything from lotions, facial products, to even candles. At Fringe we are HUGE fans of CBD Daily! Not sure about all the hype? Allow us to fill you in on the greatness!  1. THE BENEFITS
These amazing products possess properties to soothe aches and pains. Our bodies have a system called the endocannabinoid system. Its job is to regulate our body’s processes. CBD oil taps into this system to ease sore muscles and joints. A lot of stylists like to use the CBD Daily Intensive Cream to combat aching shoulders and arms from blow dryers. Studies have shown it also reduces anxiety and helps with insomnia and other sleeping issues. There is also continuous research happening to determine other possible benefits. 2. IT'S LEGAL Heard rumors about the legality of CBD Daily?As of January 1, 2019 CBD products made from industrial grade hemp became legal in all 50 states. So not to worry when purchasing these great products! 3. IT WON'T GET YOU HIGH After “Is it legal?”, the second question we receive is, “Will this get me high?”. The answer is no. If you want the science behind it, the answer involves the lack of THC. THC is the active chemical in marijuana that causes one to feel "high". CBD Daily’s products are actually made from hemp. Unlike marijuana, industrial grade hemp has little (.3%) to no THC. Without this active chemical, CBD Daily products cannot alter your mind or cause a failed drug test. You're clear! 4. GO GREEN If you prefer a natural approach, CBD Daily products are the perfect fit for your lifestyle. CBD Daily products are friends to the earth and animals as well as your body. They’re free of mineral oils, dyes, sulfates, propylene glycol, phthalates, or parabens. And to top it off, all CBD Daily products are certified cruelty-free by PETA. This means absolutely no animal testing. The next time you're in the salon, ask for a sample and see for yourself what an AMAZING product line this is!
