The recent spate of textured, tousled waves on the red carpet—think Olivia Wilde at a Nylon magazine party in L.A., Sandra Bullock at the premiere of The Change-Up and Anne Hathaway at the premiere of One Day—has us yearning for a single great styler to help score the look. The brand new Redken tousle whip [...]
It’s 103 degrees farenheit in New York City as I write this. There is absolutely no use trying to beat the heat on a day like this, so I’m taking the old saying “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” to heart and painting my nails an equally sizzling hot desert red courtesy of OPI’s [...]
I tend to shy away from rich or sticky lip color the minute the weather turns sweltering. I guess I just can’t handle the feel of anything heavy anywhere—including my lips. To the rescue, PürMinerals Petal Pout Lip Gloss Sticks (available at Regis Salons; for locations, just type your zip code into the FIND A [...]
The key to a straight hair look when the humidity is approaching 100% is a (really) good straightening balm. But one size generally does NOT fit all, which is why Redken’s smoothing stylers make so much sense. There are three to choose from: sheer straight 06, a featherweight smoother for fine hair; align 12, a [...]
I know red nails are a classic, but I’ve never personally been a fan. My shade preferences tend to veer towards the darker (burgundy-blacks) or paler (nearly nude) ends of the nail color spectrum. That said, I find myself gravitating towards OPI’s Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It these days. The punchy red-orange just feels [...]
If you’re a swimmer (and who isn’t as we roll into summer?), then a bottle of Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three is a shower stall essential. Its clarifying ingredients gently but thoroughly remove chlorine, iron and minerals from your hair, so you can jump in that lake, dive into that pool or splash in those waves [...]
Thanks to an infusion of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids, Pür Minerals Fulvic Mineral Mist makes a great skin (and hair!) refresher any old time, but I like to mist it on after I apply my mineral foundation, to give my skin a dewy look.
Summer heat calls for some creative hair styling strategies. To the rescue, Goody’s Spin Pins. While they may look daunting to use, these nifty coiled hair accessories are actually a cinch to insert and totally save the day. Just wind your hair into a knot then twist in two pins (one on either side of [...]
Everyone’s heading to the shore this weekend, and you’re, well, not. Show ’em there’s more than one way to channel the beach with a texturizing wave spray. The latest ones deliver all the clumpy goodness of a soak in the salt water without the heavy, sticky residue you get from a day spent dipping in [...]
Damp and steamy days are miserable in general, but especially if your hair is prone to frizz. Yet, odd as it may seem, what frizzy hair actually craves is MORE moisture, which is why stylists almost universally recommend moisturizing shampoos as a fuzz-busting strategy. Paul Mitchell’s Instant Moisture Daily Shampoo and Treatment are rich enough [...]
