Hair

Let's face it: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if your hair is breaking every day like fine, expensive China, you need to hussle to get it fixed. I myself have tried everything on the planet to grow lustrous, think hair. Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Shampoo and Conditioner Part of the secret to getting Padma Lakshmi-esque hair is just good genes. When I tried the new Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Breakage Defense Shampoo and Conditioner, I was looking for all the claims to be justified: - All day frizz control; - Intensive damage repair; - Prevention of strand breakage; So, after a few uses of the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives duo, I found that my hair indeed was terrifically frizz-free. Incredibly so, and it also had some serious shine to it. As for strands, I found that when I used to wash my hair, a lot of strands would come out, and with five uses, they didn't fall as much (and no, it's not the secret diet I'm using either).

Carousel World\'s First Cordless Flat Iron I was always scared of flat irons. Cobwebs, haunted houses, the Bogey Man --all of them couldn't hold a candle to the fear I experienced when thinking of using a flat iron to straighten my hair. Let's put it this way: I generally shy away from all heat-related appliances (including blow dryers -- I try to air dry my hair as much as possible to enhance longevity). Yes, I know, it's an irrational fear (almost as irrational as the fear that you'll get a zit from eating dark chocolate or cooties from kissing a dog on the nose). But luckily, Carousel Strands's Straight Away Pro Cordless Flat Iron (yup, it's cordless, and yup, you can stow it in your pocketbook) was the first flat iron I learned to fully trust and not fear. Because it's easier than using the ABACUS, people! Carousel World\'s First Cordless Flat Iron When you first get the flat iron, you'll need to charge it (it's easy - just a couple of hours will do the trick). Then, see those three buttons up there? Those are all you need. Press the button that says "ON" and press it again to activate the temperature. The ceramic plates are coated with Tourmaline (which means they won't singe your strands and fry your cuticle), and in a very short amount of time, the temperatures can reach up to 260 degrees and 410 degrees Fahrenheit (you can see the temperature changing rapidly before your eyes on the screen - see below). Carousel World\'s First Cordless Flat Iron To open the flat iron, you'll have to turn that silver knob to the right. It's a neat way to open and shut the cordless Straight Away Pro which weighs literally next to nothing. Carousel World\'s First Cordless Flat Iron Carousel World\'s First Cordless Flat Iron The neat thing about this flat iron is that it REMEMBERS (unlike the movie Memento, it doesn't do a patchy, skittish job. It actually remembers the last temperature you used and automatically increases until then - you can increase or decrease the temperature as you like).

Feeling tribal? Then add a touch of Alexandre Herchcovitch to your Fall 2010 wardrobe. It's color without compromise, texture with spunk and PUNK. The makeup was done by Philip for MAC Cosmetics, who described the look as a tiny part punk, a tiny part tribal, but...

It was a look that I had seen in some "theme and variations" form throughout the Fall 2010 Fashion Week shows: pink matte lips, intense eye and a fair, almost "Swiss Heidi in the mountains" skin. Tadashi's clothes were inspired by Mother Earth, as seen from...

The look at Catharine Malandrino for Fall 2010 encompassed leather, trees and a theme of Mongolian Nomad.

Like the gift of the Magi on a particularly cold winter morning, these three beauties arrived at my doorstep for testing. Now, I've always been a huge fan of Redken's styling products, from the Aereate texturizer to the Glass 01 Smoothing Serum. But these three new products really go the extra mile in volumizing and texturizing your hair. If you want seriously JERSEY GIRL hair, then these products should really belong in your closet. These textures are inspired by looks straight from the runway, and if you're hair has felt flat and limp and lifeless as a dead fish or just plain unruly (like the bully from school), then you should be yelling Hail Mary when you've tried these products. Velvet Gelatine Velvet Gelatine 07 Cushioned Blow Dry Gel takes limp and lifeless hair to seriously volumized heights. It's a gel that cushions your hair; use a small dime size amount for an airy and bouncy effect. Wool Shake Once you've finished blow drying and volumizing your hair, then texturize it, bad-ass style! I love the Wool Shake 08 which is a gel-slush texturizer that transforms flat hair into something va, va voom. This texturizer is basically the genie in Aladdin's lamp: if you want piecey hair, you can have it. If you want serious texture, you can layer this gel in several layers to get a look that even Adam Lambert will envy. I used a touch of it to recreate this look. Charu with Redken Charu Redken The final texturizing product is the matte sponge 05 rugged texturizer that transforms the look of hair from dull to drab. This is for seriously roughed up, tough, biker-chick look for a defining fringe.

Ah, the powers of the coconut are a beautiful thing. I remember this fruit so well while growing up in India, since my backyard was teeming with coconut trees. Often, on trips to neighboring temples, we would stop to get fresh coconut on the side of the road and drink its cool refreshing water. Desert Organics COconut Shampoo I recently was introduced to Desert Organics' new moisturizing shampoo and conditioner (a gift), which was a very welcome introduction during the dry winter months. The coconut shampoo brings back shine and health to damaged hair, and color treated hair using organic coconut oil. The aim of the conditioner is to smooth frizzy hair and flyaways and to maintain the natural shine of the hair. Used in tandem with the coconut shampoo which is suitable for very dry hair. My take? I really loved the smell, which was a faint tinge of the tropics and brought back a wash of childhood memories. The shampoo and conditioner did what I expected them to, and my hair ended up being really hydrated. Did I have to use a frizz-tamer at the end of it? Yes, I did, but chalk that up to my unruly hair during the winter months.
