Hair Heaven in ‘07
By Amy Spagnola
Fumbling after hearing the alarm clock ring in the morning and stumbling to the mirror is a journey of great trepidation and hope. The hope is that the tossing and turning done the previous night didn’t leave a “hair scare” in its wake. But more often than not there are tangles, oil, frizz and split ends to try and style in rapid time. But morning misery (or hair hell) is a thing of history, with these fantastic solutions to every follicle fiasco.
TANGLES
Origins Rich Rewards Intensive Moisture Treatment
Used once weekly, this luxurious and heavily protein fortified mask-meets-dream will leave hair glossy and easy to comb. Plus, the smells of William’s Pear make this five minute weekly commitment easy to keep. Origins, Hollywood & Highland.
OIL
Bumble and Bumble Hair Powders
Adding volume, removing oil and extending the life of a blow-dry, these finishing colored powders are a must-have in any beauty arsenal. Choose from white, blonde, red, brown and black. It’s like a mousse for roots, texture, hold, and fullness.
Available Fred Segal Beauty, Santa Monica.
FRIZZ
Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum
For instant and long lasting shine plus an end to the morning fly-aways, this new concoction from the Blandi haircare line will protect from the follicle foes, including flatirons, curling irons and blow-dryers. This is weight-training for hair, strength and protection.
SPLIT ENDS
Korres Rice Proteins Serum
Though tiny, this mighty miniature serum is only half an ounce but packs a protein punch. It keeps hair from splitting during blow-drying, heat styling and ironing. Plus, it enhances hair elasticity and forms a protective film on the hair shaft while vitamin B5 penetrates and hydrates hair.
Both of the above available at Sephora, Hollywood.
