Chapter One

Hair

Hair is our crowning glory; it is the swirl at the top of the ice cream. It is the perch for our tiaras (and girls, who doesn't have her "princess tiara" tucked away in the back of the jewelry cabinet somewhere?), and tells everyone in an instant what kind of person you are. Few things reflect our personalities as clearly as hair, whether we are fun and frivolous, business-like and serious, or a real emotional mess (we all have those days from time to time). Nobody wants to be a flat, oily, messy frump--your hair needs proper care to keep you looking bouncy, stylish and carefree, yet in control.

Shampoos Selecting the right shampoo for your hair is like winning the Oscar. Your scalp will shout out "You like me, you really like me!" Without a good shampoo, your hair is just, well, poo. And nobody wants a head full of poo after all (our friends at Devachan will explain later in this chapter).

Eva Scrivo, Dove Hair Care Creative Consultant and New York City salon owner, offers the following tips on the subject of shampoo:

  • Select the proper shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.
  • For normal to oily hair, use a shampoo that thoroughly cleans the hair without stripping it. Brush normal to oily hair at least twice daily to distribute your hair'snatural oils evenly along the hair shaft. Infrequent brushing can make your hair seem greasier than it really is, because oils stay deposited at your scalp.
  • Fine, thin hair needs products that give it volume.
  • Color-treated hair needs a shampoo and conditioner with a formula containing antioxidants and UV protectants to keep it from fading in the sun. Applying a styling product to finish your look also helps protect your hair from the sun and wind.
  • Dry, damaged hair can rear its ugly head. If you're having trouble combing through your hair after washing it, then you need a moisturizing conditioner to smooth the breakage. Eva also recommends applying a weekly deep conditioning treatment immediately after washing. Wrap hair in a towel and let it sit for about twenty minutes to give hair a smooth, shiny appearance.
  • Shampoo Quick Tip: Celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi, who creates stylish, sexy cuts for Ashley Judd, Sandra Bullock, and Reese Witherspoon, says, "You should always shampoo with medium temperature water; not too hot, not too cold. It may take a bit longer to rinse, but harsh temperatures will stress your hair out. Rinse with cool water to lock the product under the cuticle."

Dry Hair Shampoos

Your hair and scalp are as dry as the Sahara and you don't have a clue what to do. The answer, my friend, isn't blowin' in the wind. No, ma'am. Dry hair needs body, reinforcement, and protection.

High Fresh Rice Shampoo ($24)

This shampoo gives super creamy lather a new definition--it's like a day spa for overworked, dry hair. Hair heaven is yours with this shampoo, oh, and the exotic Asian pear and persimmon are positively intoxicating scents for your head.

High Shampoo di Jasmine Smoothing Shampoo ($20)

This shampoo is ultragentle, moisture rich, and compatible for hair that is color-treated. The creamy texture contains avocado oil and nettle extract to add shine. This is a superb and highly recommended product for all hair types and is a savior for dry hair.

Medium bc bonacure moisture shampoo from Schwarzkopf Professional ($12.50)
Fine salons or (800) 707-9997
If you can cast your mind back to a time when a woman couldn't get a loan, wasn't allowed to wear trousers to work and panty hose (then called tights) were required, even in the summer, because the office had a strict dress code for women, then you can understand why bc bonacure shampoo is so important today. Back then it was Breck or Body on Tap, shampoo that just cleansed the hair, a very minimal result to coincide with very limited potential in the office. Today, there are greater demands placed on women in the workforce, and thus greater demands on shampoo. This shampoo's technology actively targets dry areas, strengthens hair, and selectively repairs damage only where needed. It is a fact that with bc bonacure's moisture shampoo, life is more beautiful and the possibilities are endless.

Low L'Oreal VIVE Shampoo Nutri-Moisture ($3.99)
Mass retailers or
Takeaway is fine, and reheating is no problem, but don't ask us to spend a fortune on shampoo when we can afford this one and the results are on par with anything above it. It has a cashmere touch at a fraction of the price!

The Authors' Pick for this category--and this was a very close one, as all three picks are superb products--the L'Oreal VIVE shampoo because it consistently performs as it says it will and for the price, it's unbeatable. Another good thing is that you can purchase this product anywhere, and who hasn't forgotten their shampoo on a trip and then had to live with less-than-perfect hair because they couldn't find the right shampoo?

Oily Hair Shampoos
It feels like a mop that has just swabbed a public restroom, the heavy oily strands just weigh you down. The right shampoo can make you feel clean again, and give your hair some beautiful bounce and lightness.

High Phytopanama Mild Shampoo ($20)
Fine salons or

Maureen:
On this sunny morning at the Canyon Ranch spa outside of Tucson, Arizona, I find myself stuck with an unusual dilemma: my hair is oily out here. As I plowed through another gallon of fruit-flavored water, an unsettling truth occurred to me. I haven't yet found the right shampoo for oily hair. We need to put our brains through some cardio, Maureen--help!
--Paula

Paula: Don't fret. Upon receiving your e-mail I immediately gathered our hair panel for an impromptu conference call. It's unanimous. The Phytopanama is extremely mild, and this frequent-use shampoo contains 65 percent panama wood to cleanse, while respecting hair's natural moisture, which means it won't dry you out. I've sent two bottles overnight, express mail.
--Maureen

    In love with the beauty buyble!!

    IF YOU ARE A GIRL WHO LOVES BEAUTY PRODUCTS, THIS BOOK IS PERFECT! First and foremost, the concept of testing and comparing various products several times over in order to find the best ones is brilliant! I was also impressed that the authors went a step further to obtain beauty tips from celebrity hair stylists, makeup artists, and real women. Receiving advice from the authors and the experts made the tips and secrets much more credible. I really enjoyed the way the book was written, as well. Precise, yet detailed, which made it very clear to understand. I love the way the products were labeled low, medium, or high according to their cost. Of course, the most genius part of the The Beauty Buyble was the numerous samples in the kit that had been mentioned throughout The Beauty Buyble. There were some awesome samples too!!--The bonacure premium hair conditioner, Yu-Be moisterizer, cat cosmetics eye AND lip liner, Freeze 24/7 lip plumper, vitabathe spa therapy shower gels, several DHC complexion products,and much more! This beauty book is the best one I've had, hands down. I hope there will be a Beauty Buyble for 2008...I'll be the first in line to purchase it. The beauty experts' and authors' recommendations/tips were brilliant, and so were the wonderful samples.

    Unbelievable Bargain

    This book is a girls best friend. First, there are all these amazing samples in the box, like the CAT Cosmetics eye and lip pencil (yes, both) and the Freeze lip plumper. Then, you have coupons and discounts and this book that tells you the best products in every price category with different price options. It is only $20 and less on book websites. It's A-MAZING. Oh, and I love the writing, so girl-talky!!

    Disappointing

    I was excited about this book and the samples that came with it. I have thoroughly enjoyed Paula Begoun's cosmetic review books (_Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me_), and seeing as it's been a while since she's published an updated edition, I was hoping this book might fill in the gaps. As I've discovered, I was expecting too much. Perhaps Ms. Begoun has just set the bar pretty high because this book pales in comparison. At first glance, I found an immediate contradiction. At the bottom of page 39, Dr. Dennis Gross is quoted as saying, 'When using a moisturizer without a sunscreen, first apply the sunscreen, then the moisturizer.' On the very next page, the following question is posed to Dr. Doris Day: 'If you have a moisturizer you love but it does not have an SPF...what do you do? Use the one you love *and* put an SPF on top of that.' So, which one is it? br Quite honestly, though, I can overlook that goof, and any others like it that may be found in the book. However, I am repulsed by the profanity sprinkled throughout. One example, page 47: a good foundation is 'harder to find than a good man who is single, employed, straight, and not a total b*****d.' Not only do I find this type of language offensive, but highly unprofessional. br If this hadn't been a shrink-wrapped book set (seemingly to ensure the samples aren't tampered with), I would take it back for a full refund. Heck, I may try anyway!

    Products Hard To Find

    The book is a great idea, but the recommended products have been hard to locate, particularly the less expensive items.
