GETTING TO THE
ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
Local mom solves common dilemma

Inventions have nearly always been born
of necessity. Cases in point - the wheel was
inspired by the need to haul tools and rocks;
a stove was created to cook food without
getting burned by an open fire; foundation –
to smooth and improve the complexion.
And in 2013, Glen Carbon, Illinois resident
Erica Harriss came up with an idea that solves
the problem of root “grow out” and oily hair.
Around 75 percent of American women
color their hair. So a lot of us have had those
weeks when we know we need a touch-up,
but we are overloaded at work; have a hot
date; or the children have a soccer game.
Somehow, the appointment is not made.
Then when we do call, the stylist is booked
for the next two weeks.
So now what? There’s a party on Saturday
night, and you see a few gray hairs in your
part, or there’s new growth that simply
doesn’t match.
