As a regular fixture backstage at fashion shows in New York and Paris, celebrity stylist Orlando Pita knows his way around a head of hair. That may be why stars like Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, and Anne Hathaway count him as one of their go-tos for their turns down the red carpet. But now everyone can get the Pita touch at home with his new Argan hair care collection. A shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment oil work together to create lustrous shine and baby-soft strands at home.

Each product incorporates a potent cocktail of oils, including argan, avocado, coconut, and sweet almond. The result is frizz-free hair that's stronger, softer, and well-protected against thermal damage. Ready to get the Pita treatment at home? The Argan Gloss Shampoo ($25), Argan Gloss Conditioning Treatment ($25), and Argan Rejuvenating Hair Treatment Oil ($20) are now all available at Orlando Pita's new products website as well as Costco online and select Costco stores.

Carolina Herrera is known for her classic yet dramatic pieces, so it just makes sense that her Fall 2012 hairstyles would reflect that aesthetic.

Once the hair was dry, he used the product for hold in the front, then teased the back and put it in the ponytail. Finally, he tucked it under and held it with pins.

Designer Michael Kors's version of beach beauty? It's a lot more glamorous, and even a little naughty. That's because makeup artist Dick Page didn't stop after the usual blizzard of bronzer at the Kors show.
