Death of a Salesman? We Think Not: How Store-To-Store Is Making A Comeback

Mass distribution works great for profit, but not for people. Storeowners and shoppers alike have no personal connection to the product in this model, so manufacturers need to rely on marketing gimmicks (like crazy packaging, or sometimes ludicrously exaggerated claims to stand out among the rabble). And that’s just what’s on the surface–there’s also the oceans of palletized plastic to consider, among other environmental concerns.

Still being impressed by Vanity Metrics? We want you to dip out.

Vanity metrics are like the glitter and glam of the internet world. They may look all sparkly and impressive, but they're not as meaningful as they seem. They lack the juicy details, like the story behind those numbers or whether they actually indicate that a business is: selling stuff, or just giving it away to boost followership, or even just buying bots to give the impression of success. Even virality on tiktok can be purchased pretty easily. Think of it like this: having a gazillion Instagram followers might make a business look like a success, but are people actually buying their products or loving their content?

Got vivid hair color?!  Here are some tips & tricks to keep your vivid hair color beautiful with the Dip Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

Got vivid hair color?! Here are some tips & tricks to keep your vivid hair color beautiful with the Dip Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

Let's dive into the best practices for taking care of vivid hair color at home.  Not all of us can make it to the salon for frequent touchups so the best we can hope for is to use products that help keep the color in as long as possible.  That's where we shine.  Our founder, Kate, even made her hair vivid pink during testing & development to make sure these bars were the real deal. So here are her tips to help maintain color vibrancy while using dip shampoo bars and the dip conditioner bar as a hair mask: 1. Firstly, it's crucial to maintain the hair color by washing it less often. As we know, frequent washing fades the color more quickly. So, try to stretch out your washes as long as possible, and when you do wash your hair, use lukewarm or cool water instead of hot. You can use dip shampoo bars that are specifically formulated for colored hair, as they are sulfate-free and gentle on your hair, helping to keep your color looking bold and beautiful.
