The other day, I was biking through Chelsea when I passed my my hair place--Antonio Prieto--and decided to pop in to see my lovely and adorable stylist, Garrett. He knows all about the blog, and was asking me how flirting was going. And I admitted that maybe I wasn't being quite as outgoing as I'd hoped to be. "If only could come in for a blow-dry every day," I sighed. "Then I bet my flirting mojo would go through the roof! After all, I always feel super-sexy after you're done with me." "Well, then, why don't I just tell you how you can do a great blow-dry job on your own?" he suggested. Fabulous idea, no? And so, here we go! These are Garrett's tips on how to give yourself a home-style so good that people will think you just stepped out of Antonio Prieto ... Read More »

I've blamed bad hair days on everything from a crappy shampoo (like, ahem, this one) to a defective blow dryer, but some of you can just blame your whole frizzy head on where you live.
We scouted around and found the 13 cities where you're most likely to have bad hair. Why these? A toxic cocktail of humidity, pollution, sunshine, hard water and lack of hair salons put these towns on the map -- but not in a good way. Is your home on the list? If so, might we recommend this bad-hair-day fix -- or perhaps a good real estate agent?
No. 5: Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix has the most extreme climate in all of America and hard water to boot! (Put moisture back into your hair with one of these hair masks.)
No. 4: Las Vegas, Nevada
While it may be a blast to have a debaucherous weekend in the "City of Sin," it's certainly no fun for your hair to live in this desert climate. Forget repenting for your gambling habit, you’ll be too busy praying for your sun-damaged hair. Take a cue form Nick Cage and LEAVE Las Vegas. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (150) | Blog

I hate when they advertise products that promises you long luxurious hair. All they want is to make a profit out your misery. I hate when they advertise products that do not work. And guess who the idiot that buys these products is? Me. I know..... but you won't know if it works or not until you...

Oh woe is my wallet. For the past 6 months I have been on a campaign to defeat my frizzy hair. In addition to natural rope thick hair, I have hypothyroidism and I'm bad and the whole medicine taking thing. Thus, my hair is constantly fluctuating between thick and thin, oily and dry. I have tried... Read More »

Last week Petra blogged about our ongoing obsession with braids and look what popped up in the office today! This is photo intern Emma, sporting lovely French-braided pigtails.
She had a recent bangs mishap and told me that this is her trick for hiding them. Genius! I think this also counts... Read More »

An unmarked envelope arrived at my desk last week. I ripped through the yellow paper, and inside I found... a Whirlastyle,
a rubbery device that looked vaguely like a thick hospital bracelet.
The crazy, loopy buns pictured on the packaging were less than
appealing.
Yet, on an especially rainy... Read More »
