Johnny Depp - Or is it Dep?

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style, Beauty Tips, Hair Cut and Style



If there's anything we love, it's a man who knows his hair product. Add in dreamboat handsome and creative genius, and who do you have? Johnny Depp.


Depp is in steamy Puerto Rico filming a new flick called The Rum Diary, based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson and set in the 1950s (above, left). His naturally thick and wavy hair was reacting to the humidity in a big, bad way, refusing to stay slicked back like the hair folks wanted.

According to Star Magazine, the on-set stylist was on the verge of a nervous breakdown ("Nothing could control his hair," said a source) when Johnny saved the day. He suggested a hairstyling blast from the past trick he learned from his 1990 film, Cry-Baby (above, right). A healthy dollop of Dep gel with a thick coating of Aqua Net hairspray on top. (You know, exactly what you used to score bangs like Paula Abdul in Opposites Attract ). After employing Johnny's secret styling sauce, the show could go on.

Speaking of frizz tips, we have a good friend who swears by Lubriderm when she has to tame steamy summer hair disasters. And we've heard Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer works wonders too. Share your secret hair control potions in the comments section in case there are more de-tress signals from The Rum Diary set.

C'mon
, do it for Johnny...

ProSilk Far Infrared Dryer - Review

Filed under: Product Reviews

dryerOne day after our husband asked, "Are hair dryers supposed to smell like burning hair?" we decided it was time for a new one. So we tossed our trusty old Sally Beauty special in the can and opted for a ProSilk Far Infrared professional dryer. Just the name gives us chills and we had our fingers crossed that our hair would go from smelly to silky.

TanTowels - An easy way to get a gorgeous glow

Filed under: Skin Care, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips

tantowelRegardless of what month is on the calendar, many of us like to have a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. Especially those of us who live in southern states -- people expect us to be a little tan, you know? But, tanning beds are so last millennium -- we'll sacrifice a lot to look good, but risking skin cancer is more than we're willing to do.

Old Loves and New Infatuations: Sebastian Potion 9

Filed under: Hair Care, Product Reviews

We're pretty sure some of you are sister-fans of Sebastian Potion 9 (which we still refer to as Potion #9, but corrected in this post so we don't look dumb.)

Remember the sticky, gluey consistency, that was so hard to get off your hands? The orange color? The way you could use in on wet or dry hair, and how it was the one product you could count on to give your Rachel-do the perfect mixture of smoothness with body?

Oh, those were some good times. But inexplicably, we were lured away from our reliable Potion 9 by the novel temptations of Pureology and Bumble and bumble.

We'd forgotten just how good Potion 9 was, until a box of review samples for the New Sebastian Professional line arrived.

Back to school hair: 5 ways to shorten your morning routine

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style


Whether you're a stylish sixth grader or a fashionable college freshman (or a mom to either of the above), chances are that you're not a fan of having to make it to your 8:00 class. When we were in school, it took us forever to do our hair in the morning, and trust us -- we weren't going to school with bad hair.

We still don't go places with bad hair, even really early in the morning, but we have learned some tricks for cutting down on the time spent on our hair in the morning, which allows us an extra 15 minutes of beauty rest. Check out our gallery for tips and tricks for all kinds of tresses, and let us know in the comments if you have a shortcut of your own!

Urbanbella helps you get curly hair worth loving

Filed under: Hair Care


Having curly hair is like having an unpaid second job, with all the time it takes to find the right product and the right technique to make your behave and be beautiful.

Atlanta-based Keneesha Hudson got tired of living a double life and decided to make it her first job. She opened Urbanbella, a "Curly Hair Apothecary" that specializes in curly, kinky and wavy hair textures.

Adding to her own experience (her hair looks awesome, and isn't she pretty?) Keneesha and her team of experts find and test the best products.

If you can't make it to Georgia to have an in-person consultation, you can at least check out Urbanbella's favorite products, like Kinky Curly Curling Custard and Miss Jessie's Stretch Silkening Crème, and follow Keneesha's tips for bringing out the best in your curls:

Man face: Rejuvenate it with Gessato

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care, Product Reviews


Do you have a man face? Most men do. It's a fact.

Gessato Face Treatment's cell regeneration complex is a lightweight serum to help keep that man face as boyish as possible. It provides protection for the neck and face, which is nice, but it is also an agent for active rejuvenation. It's kind of like the fountain of youth in a small pump.

There are a bunch of vitamins in the formula, as well as ingredients we have trouble spelling. Together they help rebuild the skin's complex defense system and smooth out wrinkles by naturally hydrating the face and neutralizing the actions of free radicals. Do we sound smart when we say stuff like that?

Gessato Face Treatment "improves skin tone and hones the neckline, reducing the unsightly effects of double chin." That alone is worth the purchase.

We've been using the serum for a few weeks now (as well the shaving treatment), and we've got to admit- it's good. Yes, we still act like we're James Bond when we call it 'serum' and sometimes we pretend it will self-destruct if we don't apply it in a downwards motion, but that's okay if we act a bit boyish, or face will back us up.

Tip of the day: Start using Ojon... like right now.

Filed under: Men, Hair Care, Cosmetics, Skin Care, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.
