We’ve blogged before about whether or not indoor tanning should be illegal and now, according to, The Dermatology Times, there is a new law under consideration by Congress that could limit how long you could stay in a tanning bed.

The bill, called the Tanning Bed Cancer Control Act, was sponsored in the House of Representatives by Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). It calls for the FDA to review the medical device classfication for tanning beds and to set standards for exposure that are based on the latest scienctific evidence linking UV exposure to cancer.

How to quick fix your messy bed head

Washing, blow drying, straightening or curling your hair every day can be very annoying and time consuming. There are those days where our hair is flat, oily or dull and going through the whole hair routine is just not a possibility. Sometimes all you need is a little bit of primping to revive your hair back to its beautiful state.

1.) Oily Bed Head

Oil starts at the root of the hair but that doesn’t mean you should allow yourself to turn into a grease ball. The days of “Grease Lightening” are a trend that’s long gone! To aid your oily roots, apply a small amount of baby powder to the root and scalp area. Massage into the hair and fluff excess powder out. This will allow your natural oils to be absorbed by the powder and leave you smelling baby clean!

2.) Dead Flat Do
Whether it’s your pillow or gravity sometimes your hair just falls dead flat. Often we result in re-washing and drying to get the life back in our hair, but you don’t have to go through this anymore. Flip your head upside down and mist the crown of your head with hair spray. Before the spray dries, circulate a blow dryer throughout your hair. The heat with the help of the hair spray will help to pump up your volume.

3.) Tease and Toss
Another way you can revive your bed head is by using a simple teasing technique. Spray the roots of your hair with hair spray. Place a fine toothed comb against the first four inches of the base of your scalp. Stroke the comb in an up and down motion against the grain of the hair. After completing about five or ten teasing motions, pull the comb through the underside of the hair to one time to give it one last fluff.

Now you have the ease of rolling out bed with care free hair. Sleep tight!
