Our Picks: My Favorite Shampoo for Colored Hair

I am obsessed with a shampoo. It all started when my daughter had a curly-haired little friend over whose hair smelled so good I wanted to bury my nose in it. Turns out it was Oribe shampoo. Their Shampoo for Beautiful Color and Conditioner keep my colored hair moisturized and lustrous ($46 each). It’s made with watermelon, lychee and edelweiss flower […]

Everything You Need to Know About Lice from an Expert

We just received our third letter home from the school nurse letting us know that lice has been reported in several grades at our school. So if you clicked here, you’re probably feeling pretty lousy…literally. (Guess we all know the origins of the word “lousy” now.) Try not to freak out. Stay calm. You’re not the first […]

My Favorite Brush for Beach Hair

Also Read: Is Magic Sleek Worth the $$$?! Not only do my kids love The Wet Brush Detangler, I do to!  I bought it for my daughters to make brushing their long hair less painful, but then tried it on my own hair and loved it. It has super flexible bristles that detangle hair  without pulling or breaking hair–even after a day […]

Is Your Hair Falling Out?

Is your hair falling out, and if so, should you be worried about it? I never had thick hair, but my pony could always, at least, fill up a hair tie (scrunchy or banana clip in the 80s.) But, these days, my hair is feeling more thin and fine with each shower. The female propecia […]

My Pick for Bouncy, Fun Hair

I have a new hair product that I am crazy about–I love the way it feels, works and smells! ORIBE Dry Texturizing Spray.  It’s an invisible dry hair spray that gives me great texture and bouncy volume. Instead of using a dry shampoo on days when I don’t wash my hair, I opt for this. It contains antioxidants […]

A Blowout Bar you can afford

Everyone wants beautiful tresses, but most of us save blowouts for when we have an important event.  I was blessed with a thick, frizzy, unruly mane that has been nearly impossible to manage.  Professional hairstylists have been the only ones with the ability to tame my hair, unfortunately that begins to add up and so […]

Chlorine: You Hair Killer!

Chlorine: you hair killer! I’ve become my mother: I no longer swim with my hair–not after paying $200+ for my balayage–HELL NO! But my girls, on the other hand, do swim most days. And it’s taken a toll on their hair. So here’s a cheap fix: Prell. Remember Prell? The bright green shampoo from the […]

This Made My Hair Behave!

I admit it. I can be a little cheap when it comes to beauty products. (Evidence: My favorite mascara is by Cover Girl and retails for $7.) Why? Because after blowdrying my hair, it still has frizz…so then I want to flat iron it…destroying it even more. My hairdresser encouraged me to splurge on Oribe Royal […]

Magic Sleek: Is it worth it?

For most, summer means sun, beach, BBQ, and vacations.  For me, summer means FRIZZ!  I basically spend June – September looking frightful.  I need the absolute perfect weather conditions for me to have a good hair day.  The slightest moisture in the air causes a major problem.  I have tried Keratin, which does amazing things […]
