Is Beauty Multitasking Smart or Silly?

At 56, Christie Brinkley looks more amazing than ever.

At 56, Christie Brinkley looks more amazing than ever. And while genetics may play a part, it seems that multitasking has really gotten her places. In an interview with Shape magazine, Christie explained that while doing everyday tasks, she tries to fit mini workouts in. "I think of drying my hair as really boring. I thought, 'OK, I'm going to multitask.' I'll dry my hair as though I'm sitting on a chair, even though there's no chair there. Then I'll do some squats," she said. When she's brushing her teeth, she'll even do a few leg exercises, too. Some of you have admitted to being beauty multitaskers yourself (as in brushing your teeth while showering), but do you think these types of activities are smart or silly?

The Best Hairbrush for Blowouts

Last Night a Hairbrush Saved My Life

Readers, I have fallen off the wagon.
by

Readers, I have fallen off the wagon. I have a strange desire (during this particularly humid week) to blow-dry my hair straight. I know it's not the best thing for my hair, but this time I got a reinforcement: I bought Conair’s Infiniti Tourmaline Brush ($12.99) after realizing I no longer even owned a round-barrel brush.

I've had blowouts in swank salons where they hold a round brush upright at the end and pull it straight down to create a perfect wave at the bottom of your hair. The spiral openings in this Tourmaline-infused brush some how make it possible to do that yourself, without getting one strand of hair caught on the bristles (OK, or handle. I have a lot of hair). Do you guys have a Holy Grail hair brush?

What's Your Blow-Dry Style?

Have you ever gotten ready with a girlfriend and watched in amazement how differently your blow-drying styles are?

Have you ever gotten ready with a girlfriend and watched in amazement how differently your blow-drying styles are? I clip my hair at the top and start by drying the bottom in sections with a round brush and work my way to the crown. I've noticed that some friends flip their heads over and dry their hair with a paddle brush, others tousle their hair using their fingers while moving the hairdryer at warp speed, and some dry their hair in the back first. I stand, but I've seen women sit and even squat. What's your specific blow-drying technique? Inquiring minds want to know.

How To Make Your Blow-Dry Last Longer

After spending excessive amounts of time and money getting my coif cut and colored in some of my favorite salons, I couldn't bear the thought of taking 30 more minutes to blow-dry my hair so soon afterward.

After spending excessive amounts of time and money getting my coif cut and colored in some of my favorite salons, I couldn't bear the thought of taking 30 more minutes to blow-dry my hair so soon afterward. Plus, let's face it, when your hair is perfectly straight and frizz free, you don't really want to mess with perfection unless it's screaming for a wash. Here are a few helpful tricks to extend the longevity of your blow-out.

  • Keep your hands away from your hair as much as possible. This will minimize the amount of excess grease in your hair.
  • Spray a dry shampoo. My favorite is Klorane; you can spray it on hair daily to help soak up dirt and oils.
  • The front of your hair gets greasiest first, so try spritzing that area with water and then blow-dry it again for a easy and quick refresher.

    • Got any additional ideas of your own? If so, please share them in a comment below!
