Which Hair Color Do You Like Best on Amber Valletta?

BellaSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 06:00:57 PDT

Model, actress and mother Amber Valletta's latest hairstyle is bright, blonde, and feathered. I've always pictured her with light hair, but over the last eleven months, she's gone from dark brown to dirty blonde with gingery-colored low-lights. Something I've also noticed is that she's not big on wearing lots of makeup, not even to events, which I think is cool. Some people are just very comfortable in their own skin. Which hair color do you like the best on Ms. Valletta?

New Product Alert: TIGI Bed Head Hairdryer

BellaSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 09:00:26 PST

TIGI has just come out with a 1875 Watt Fibre Optic Tourmaline Active Ionic Dryer ($49.99). The dryer has cool and easy to detect "gem-colored" heat indicators that allow you the choice to dry your hair with negative or positive ions. Blue means it will dry your hair more quickly, and green means that it will open up your hair cuticles to boost volume.

Other features include an airflow concentrator (you know, that narrow nozzle attachment), a diffuser (to help create waves), a light motor, a cold shot button, two heat choices, two speed choices and a three-year warranty.

Supposedly, it also really helps reduce frizzies. I'm curious to know how well it really works, or if it is more of just a gem gimmick than anything. This is one of the least expensive tourmaline dryers I've seen, so my interest is definitely piqued.

Beauty Marked: A New Hairdryer

BellaSugar — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:14:44 PST

Ever since my Solano Top Power 3200 Hairdryer broke, I've been looking for a new one with the following criteria:

My hair gets frizzy so I need a hair dryer with a narrow nozzle attachment.
I like it to have a high wattage so it doesn't take me forever to dry my long hair.
I love the cool shot feature. It's an essential if you want to set your hair in different styles.
It has to be lightweight since I travel frequently.
