The Guggenheim Museum is an internationally renowned art museum Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939.

New York Public Library

As NYC rapidly flourished during the 19th century, the wealthy agreed that if NY was to be one of the world’s great cities, it ought to have a great library. Governor Samuel J. Tilden, a very affluent man, requested upon his death that the bulk of his fortune, about $2.4 million should be used to establish and maintain a free library and reading room in New York City. There were two other libraries at the time but neither was what Tilden had envisioned and both were experiencing financial hardship, so the resources were combined and The New York Public Library was formed. 16 years after the plan was set into place the library opened in the spring of 1911. It is said that between 30,000 and 50,000 people visited the building on the first day it was open. The beautiful main branch is still open today along with 91 other branches. The main building on 42nd Street is a beautiful place to visit with its large lion statues welcoming you in and its stunning architecture inside and out!

Activists are posting their hauls on TikTok to raise public awareness.

Nov. 21, 2022Updated 5:11 p.m. ET

At the third Duane Reade of the night, Anna Sacks, 31, a dumpster diver who goes by @trashwalker on TikTok, hit the jackpot. Half a dozen clear trash bags sat along Second Avenue not far from her home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Kneeling on the ground, Ms. Sacks untied the bags with a gloved hand and, using her iPhone flashlight, pulled out her haul: Tresemmé hair spray. Rimmel London Stay Glossy lip gloss. Two bags of Ghirardelli sea salt caramels. Six bags of Cretors popcorn mix. Wet mop refills. A Febreze air freshener. Toe warmers. A bottle of Motrin. All of it unopened, in the packaging and far from the expiration date.

“Oh my God,” said Ms. Sacks, digging out a 6-pack with one can missing. “My mom loves Diet Dr Pepper.”

The total value was perhaps $75, but money wasn’t the point. Ms. Sacks, a former investment bank analyst, films her “trash walks,” as she calls them, and posts the videos to expose what she sees as the wastefulness of retailers who toss out returned, damaged or otherwise unwanted items instead of repurposing them.

Fed up with the profligate practice, dumpster divers like Ms. Sacks have started posting videos of their haul on TikTok in recent years as a way of shaming corporations and raising awareness of the wasteful behavior.

A search of #dumpsterdiving on TikTok brings up tens of thousands of videos that collectively have billions of views. They include a video by Tiffany Butler, known as Dumpster Diving Mama, who found several handbags in the trash last year outside a Coach store in Dallas, all of them apparently slashed by employees. Ms. Sacks bought the bags and made a TikTok calling out the fashion brand. After the video went viral and sparked outrage (and was picked up by Diet Prada), Coach said it would stop “destroying in-store returns of damaged, defective, worn and otherwise unsalable goods,” and instead try to reuse them.

Most of the dumpster activists target mass retailers like CVS, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Party City. Luxury fashion brands tend to keep a tighter control over their excess inventory and sometimes pay to have unsold items burned.

A video posted this month by Liz Wilson, 37, a mother of two in Bucks County, Pa., who goes by Salty Stella, shows a dumpster at a nearby HomeGoods store filled with Halloween-themed mugs, plates, dog bowls and holiday decorations. “This is absolutely horrendous,” Ms. Wilson told her 1.2 million TikTok followers. “The only reason these things were thrown away is because Halloween is over.”

Ella Rose, who goes byGlamourDDive, posted a video two months ago showing a dumpster outside a TJ Maxx store, filled with Zara dresses,grooming products by Fekkai and clothing from Victoria’s Secret.

At a time when corporations tout their commitment to the environment, the sight of $500 handbags or even $6 Ghirardelli chocolates discarded in a dumpster can be a bad look.

“Corporations don’t want people to see the overproduction, the wastefulness, the lack of donation,” said Ms. Sacks, who has 400,000 followers and has received significant media coverage. “To change behavior, it’s important to expose the wastefulness.”

Michael O’Heaney, executive director of The Story of Stuff Project, an environmental group in Berkeley, Calif., that raises awareness about waste through storytelling, called Ms. Sacks and other eco-minded dumpster divers “metal detectors for flaws in the system.” “What they’re finding in the trash are a fascinating lens into our waste economy,” said Mr. O’Heaney, whose organization recently filmed a trash walk with Ms. Sacks.

Some do more than just raise awareness. Ms. Wilson puts together “Stella’s Kits” — which contain feminine hygiene supplies like pads, tampons and flushable wipes assembled from dumpster dives — and distributes them at homeless shelters and other places where women experience what is known as period poverty.

While Ms. Wilson also posts to YouTube and Instagram, she said that her videos get the most reactions on TikTok. “People are just shocked and saddened,” she said. “Every day, I get the same reaction: ‘Oh, my god. Why do stores do this?’”

Mark Cohen, the director of retail studies at Columbia Business School, said that the practice is based on the cold calculation that “the simplest and most expediate way for a retailer to dispose of something, typically of low value, is to mark it out of its stock and dump it.”

Merchandise that was returned cannot always be resold because of regulations meant to protect consumer’s health — including food, some over-the-counter drugs and health and beauty aids, Mr. Cohen said. Items that have been damaged or worn, or are out of season like holiday decorations, may have lost too much value, even for third-party buyers.

“As egregious as it is to see seemingly perfect product put into a landfill,” Mr. Cohen said, “it’s the shortest and least expensive path.”

Activists like Ms. Wilson and Ms. Sacks would prefer to see retailers donate items to charitable organizations and others in need. “We should be incentivizing corporations ideally to produce less in general,” Ms. Sacks said, but if that’s not possible, they should “donate or sell it through, or store it for the next year, rather than destroy it.”

Many retailers say that they do, in fact, donate unsold goods, but some merchandise still needs to be sent to landfills. “The thought that everything leftover can be donated is a nice thought to hold,” but unrealistic, Mr. Cohen said.

CVS, for example, said it diverted 50 percent of its unsold merchandise last year to recycling or reuse, and donated about $140 million worth of goods to charities including Feeding America. CVS works “with nonprofit organizations to arrange for damaged or near-expired goods from our stores to be donated to communities in need,” said Ethan Slavin, a spokesman.

Andrew Mastrangelo, a spokesman for TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and HomeGoods, said that “only a very small percentage of merchandise from our stores goes unsold,” and that most of the unsold merchandise is bought by third parties or donated to charities.

Walgreens, which owns Duane Reade, said it donated 10 million pounds of goods in 2021. “Walgreens works diligently to divert from landfill unsold or discontinued products such as food, toiletries and household items,” said Candace Johnson, a spokeswoman.

Even so, some items cannot be donated, including perishable products within one month of expiration. “Products that do not meet applicable standards for donation or liquidation,” Ms. Johnson added, “may be discarded in the trash.”

Discarded merchandise is perhaps most abundant around the holiday season. Last Halloween, Ms. Wilson said she found more than 120 Halloween-themed dish towels outside two HomeGoods stores near her home, all in perfect condition.

Ms. Wilson has a circuit of dozens of retailers around southeastern Pennsylvania that she visits every week. She never comes up empty. “I could go to a dumpster today and get a bunch of stuff,” Ms. Wilson said, “and go back to the same dumpster 24 hours later and find new stuff in it.”

If the oil in your hair bothers you, there are ways to make it feel less greasy without removing your natural scalp oil, such as washing it with apple cider vinegar and switching up your wash schedule. Seborrhoeic dermatitis and unpleasant itching can result from an excessively oily scalp. It may make dandruff worse. Let’s talk about how to make your hair look not oily.

However, you don’t want to remove all of your oil. Natural oils help maintain a healthy scalp and protect hair. Here’s how to remove oil without causing harm to your hair or causing rashes on your scalp.

Use a Shampoo Free of Sulphates to Wash Your Hair

Sulfates, the sudsy detergents found in most shampoos, have the tendency to over-clean and dry up your scalp.MFR Gavzzoni Dias 1. Benefits and drawbacks of cleaning agents.

Your hair may feel perfectly clean after using a sulfate shampoo a few times, but eventually, your scalp may begin to overproduce oil to compensate for the dryness. Therefore, choose mild, sulfate-free shampoo formulas that will clean your hair without depriving it of the essential oils to stay healthy and strong to minimize greasiness.

In between washes, use dry shampoo.

You won’t like this, but if you can’t imagine going a day without washing your hair because your strands gather far too much oil, resist the desire and forgo your regular hair wash. Although it may seem contradictory, your hair will fare better the less you wash it. To keep hair looking clean (even if it isn’t), spray some Dove’s Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo over your roots if you need to prolong your wash. Try this technique instead of your typical one: spray dry shampoo aimlessly. To ensure that your entire head is covered, part your hair in small parts from ear to ear and spritz the product at the roots.

Utilize a Texture Spray.

Even though dry shampoo is fantastic, it might be more detrimental than beneficial for some types of hair. “Avoid over-dry shampooing if your hair is oily all the time,” advises celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko, located in Los Angeles and known for working with celebrities like Candice Swanepoel, Chrissy Teigen, and Gigi Hadid. Alternatively, she suggests using a texture spray, such as the Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray from Bumble & bumble. “It’s great at reviving day two or three hair,” explains Polko.

Put your hair up.

By day three, depending on your hair type, your roots may seem messy, but that’s okay. The best part is that you use the grease to your advantage for carefree looks. These looks are stylish but intentionally messy, so a little oil and grime from the texture spray or dry shampoo will only enhance them. We adore a low, carefree chignon that you can secure with a claw clip or wrap up with a hair tie.

Use Apple Cider Vinegar to Rinse Your Hair

We’ll let you cheat a little on day four by rinsing with apple cider vinegar in warm, not hot, water (hot water can be too drying). Many individuals think that raw, organic apple cider vinegar—like Fekkai’s Apple Cider Detox Rinse—is gentle enough not to rob your hair of vital nutrients while being acidic sufficient to remove buildup from the scalp and restore the pH balance of your hair. Additionally, Lauren Thompson, a hairdresser at New York City’s Nunzio Saviano Salon, claims it is mild enough to use on hair with color treatment.

Restrict Your Use of Styling Supplies

It’s advisable to avoid using a lot of hairspray and lotions as they might lead to buildup on the scalp and extra grease. Senior stylist, Allison Friedman of the Warren-Tricomi Salon in New Jersey, advises using a single-style product on the scalp, but only if your flat hair requires a volume boost.

Switch Up Your Shampoo Formulas

When “training” your hair to create less oil, it’s better to use fewer products, but if you feel like buildup is occurring over time, use a clarifying shampoo now and again to reset your scalp as needed. When your hair feels heavy or weighed down, use a clarifying shampoo to clean your scalp, roots, and strands. Gentle shampoos are best for regular use. Even if you don’t use a clarifying shampoo, it’s a good idea to switch up your routine from time to time since if you stick to one formula too long; you can find that your hair isn’t getting as clean as it used to.

Wash your hair less often.

Washing your hair daily may seem paradoxical, but it makes it more oily. When you over-wash your scalp, it loses its natural oils and produces more to make up for it. Try washing your hair once every two days or less frequently if you can. Your scalp will eventually adjust and start to produce less oil.

Don’t Touch Your Hair Too Often

Touching your hair frequently causes oil from your hands to be transferred to it, giving the appearance of grease more quickly. Avoid fiddling with your hair too much or running your fingers through it. If you touch it less, your hair will look clean for a more extended period.

Consume a Supplement

“What you put into your body is reflected in your skin, hair, and nails. To get healthier and shinier hair, take supplements, advises Polko. It is important to note that the FDA does not regulate hair supplements, so you should be wary of their promises. However, some people find that taking hair supplements works well for them. If you’re interested in trying them, look for one meant to treat oily scalps. Because Nutrafol is “rich in omega-3s and B vitamins” and can support healthy hair growth, Polko enjoys the product. Before incorporating any supplement into your diet, always get medical advice.

Observe Your pH

It is crucial to remember that the pH of the shampoo—whether it contains sulfates or not—must be considered if you want to avoid stripping your hair. “Verify that the shampoo has a pH of 5.5 or lower,” advises Sophia Emmanuel, a New York-based licensed cosmetologist and IAT-certified trichologist. “This way, the hair is not as dry once the shampoo is rinsed out, and the scalp will not overproduce oil to make up for what was lost. “

Replace Your Sheets

Now, think about how often you change your pillowcase and how much time you spend laying your head on your pillow. It absorbs the oil and dirt from the previous day every night, and if you don’t wash your linens often, it ends up pressing on your scalp. Therefore, even if you follow all other recommended hair care instructions correctly, your efforts may be worthwhile if your pillowcase is clean.

Boost Your Laundry Method

Reducing the visibility of oily roots requires the use of the proper approach. Given that oil originates at the scalp, you should take the time to massage your shampoo and scrubs into the roots. This will dislodge any accumulation and aid in unclogging hair follicles. Additionally, pay attention to the entire area of your head rather than just the hairline—even the back needs care.

The lesson learned

You can do hair by altering your hair care routine, products, and wash schedule. It’s also crucial to remember that as you age, your natural oil production often declines and varies over time. I assure you that your youth’s very oily hair won’t follow you forever.
