Do You Wear A Baseball Cap When You're Having A Bad Hair Day?

BellaSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:00:21 -0700

Yesterday, Hayden Panettiere was looking cute and casual while heading out to lunch with her main squeeze. Sometimes a girl just needs to run out the door and grab a quick bite, even if she is a star. We've seen Jessica Biel and even Jessica Alba sport a sporting cap, but I'm not the baseball hat type of gal-they make the shape of my head look funny. How about you?

Do You Have Hair . . . There? You're Not Alone

I remember the first time I found a few hairs on my nipples. That's right, I admit it. I had already been dealing with a few errant hairs that had been popping up on on my chin, upper lip, and sometimes even "sideburns," so when I found a few hairs on my boobs, I wasn't all that surprised - although I can't say that I was all too pleased, either. Do you have hairs on your nipples? You're not alone. To check out the stats, just keep reading.

Would You Ever Get a Perm?

BellaSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:00:41 -0800

Perms get such a bad rap just because grandmas love them and they were a staple ingredient of '80s hair. Despite the fact that I know how useful they can be, and how many different kinds of perms there are, I might almost be hesitant to tell people if I got one, just for fear that they'd start laughing before I could explain. What's your opinion on the whole thing? Has the perm just gotten too much negative press to make a comeback? Do you even consider it an option? Or are you permed and proud?

How-To: Banish Those Pesky Post-Waxing Eyebrow Bumps

BellaSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Yesterday, Yum came to me with a dilemma. She had her brows waxed over the weekend, and much to her dismay, was left with reddish bumps as a result. She had done nothing different than usual, taken any medications out of the ordinary, or even gone to a new waxing lady, but still ended up with itchy, irritated skin. To find out my tips on helping Yum get her brows back to normal, just keep reading

Beauty Flashback: Boy Band Has a Bad Hair Day

BellaSugar — Sun, 17 May 2009 06:00:22 -0700

The Internet just lets childhood embarrassments live on and on, doesn't it? My childhood BFF recently sent me this video as a reminder of our junior-high crushes on the Guys Next Door. Developed at the height of NKOTB mania, the Guys had a Saturday morning variety show that was ostensibly funny. We thought it was so cool, and much more sophisticated than the New Kids were. (It wasn't.) So at the risk of being mocked, here's an excruciatingly corny video for "Bad Hair Day." I'd argue that most of the "good" hairstyles are pretty heinous, but you be the judge.

Young and Gray? You Might Just Want To Stick With it

No matter your age, I'm sure you remember the first time you spotted a gray hair on your head. For me, I was 24. A random occurrence, I thought, although my dad was pretty much completely silver-haired by his late twenties, so I couldn't be too sure. The majority of you said you have already found your first gray hair, and since my initial unearthing, I've detected several more "natural highlights," as my hairdresser likes to say. But would it be so bad to be a young gray-haired lady, after all? Vogue writer Sarah Harris doesn't think so, recalling her early discovery of gray strands as a teenager.

"I was 16 and mortified," Harris tells The Times. By her twenties, she truly started to embrace her light locks, saying, "I slowly grew fond of the way my silver flickered when it caught the light." While she realizes that she's lucky to have a soft, silken texture to her hair, Harris acknowledges it's a lot of work. "Gray hair, unless styled and conditioned, can look washed-out and neglected. Grooming is crucial," she says. Therefore, she spends more time on her strands, protecting her hair from the sunlight to reduce yellowing, all while investing in good shampoos specifically designed for silver tones. To find out why she'll probably stay with the gray for a while, just keep reading.
