'Tis the season for dry hair, but Frédéric Fekkai isn't going to let straggly strands happen to you. On Thursday Oct. 27, just head to a Saks Fifth Avenue store for the "Calling All Conditioners" event, where you can trade your regular full-sized conditioner for a full-sized Fekkai conditioner (a $25 value). Choose between Brilliant Glossing, Full Blown Volume, or Salon Technician Color-Care Read more

Is there anything more annoyingly earnest than a newly made teenage vegetarian? Ask me; I used to be one. "Someday, people will choose to eat less meat and buy vegan products," my self-righteous teenage self declared to anyone who would listen. And while I'm less prone to herbivorous proselytizing these days, there's no denying that vegan beauty products have finally gone mainstream. Case in Read more

If you don't want to spend any money right now, then stay away from Carol's Daughter Monoi hair care ($18–$29). Because here's the thing: after you smell the shampoo, conditioner, or mask, you will pretty much be powerless against its sway. It smells that good, like a perfect tropical blend of suntan lotion and a salty breeze. (This makes sense, considering its star ingredient is Tahitian monoi Read more

From A Beautiful Life, makers of the incredible natural nail polish remover that really works and I Heart Unicorns Perfume, comes these cute as can be Honey'do Shampoo and Conditioner ($16 each or $30 for the set).

You can definitely use a color conditioner on its own, but for even better results, you can also easily create a customized blend by mixing up two Read more

Gilles Marini may be best known for his successful foray onto Dancing With the Stars and his role as Luc on Brothers & Sisters. But he's also an expert shower-taker, as anyone who saw his turn as Samantha's sexy exhibitionist neighbor in the first Sex and the City movie knows. I got the chance to meet Gilles a couple weeks back when he was in San Francisco. He's a L'Occitane ambassador, which Read more

In the quest for a natural-leaning hair care line, I've been blowing through about a dozen brands. More on those soon, but for now, let's look at Evolvh. If you can get past the oddball spelling, you'll find a vegan and mostly organic collection of shampoo, conditioner, and styling products. They're free of sulfates and parabens, but they're filled with extracts of plants such as mallow, flax, Read more

A couple of weeks ago, Kérastase sent a package of its new Nutri-Thermique hair care collection. Naturally, the first thing Mr. Bella did was put his nose by the shampoo. "This smells like Holiday Inn stuff," he said. "But it's French," I harrumphed. "They don't even have Holiday Inn in France!" (Not true.) Fast-forward to our next date.
