02.27.11Hair Inspiration: Izzie BurchI know Orlando Pita said he's feeling a strong move away from tousled, messy hair, but I can't help but love the undone look. I'm willing to spend a lot of time and energy on many things, but not on my hair. (Yet, I write this blog...) Izzie Burch, Wovens Designer at Tory Burch, has great tousled, natural hair. She sees Alexis at Oscar Blandi for color, but only every six or eight months. "So [the color] fades out a bit,” she says. Do you like undone hair or are you ready for polished looks? (Source)

12.17.10How To: Care For CurlsHair On The Brain reader Jill requested that I do a post on tips for curly haired girls based on Anne Hathaway's inspirational natural curls in Love & Other Drugs. Jill wrote that while she loves her own curls, sometimes they're hard to manage. She thinks that a lot of curly girls out there end up straightening their hair because they just don't know how to properly care for their gorgeous curls. I totally agree that there's a lack of good information out there for girls with curls. The majority of today's hair information & inspiration is skewed toward ...

05.17.10Could Hair Dye Make You Sick?A recent study out of England has linked hair dye with progressive liver disease. Published in the international gastroenterology journal, aptly called Gut, British researchers revealed the findings of over 5,000 people who were surveyed about their risks for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) -- an early form of liver cirrhosis and long-term progressive autoimmune disease. PBC is thought to be caused, at least in part, by certain environmental factors such as chemicals found in hair dye. Of those surveyed, women who color their hair were 37% more likely to develop PBC than women who don't. Respondents were not asked how ...

10.16.09ScarJo Goes StrawBlondeScarlett Johansson is the new face of the Spanish fashion line, Mango. What do you think of Scarlett with this warm blonde, almost strawberry blonde color? I like it. I feel like maybe it's a tad light with her porcelain skin tone, but it's a gorgeous color. Don't you wonder what Scarlett's hair color would be if she didn't color it? From the roots it looks like a mousey brown, maybe. Hmm. I went through a phase of coloring my hair a lot--from highlights to blonde to dark brown to red. But now it's back to it's natural color, which ...

09.16.09I Heart Tyra's HairI know I kind of made fun of the season opener of The Tyra Show, where Tyra Banks showed her natural hair. I guess I was just expecting a bigger reveal, but she came out with her hair wet. I just watched this video of the first episode, and Tyra's stylist does her hair on the show. The finished product looks incredible. I love Tyra's real hair! In my opinion, it looks better than those super straight, flat wigs she usually wears. Tyra said she felt like Vanessa Williams in 1989, but I'm thinking more Jody Watley. Check it out:

09.08.09Tyra's Big RevealToday, in the fifth-season opener of The Tyra Show, Tyra revealed her natural hair, saying, “I felt like I needed to solve this mystery.” Well, um. Mystery solved! Tyra cracks me up... She takes herself so seriously. Remember when Tyra did a show on her fear of dolphins? She's the gift that keeps on giving.

09.01.09Tyra to Ditch Her WeaveI watched like two seconds of the celebs arriving on the red carpet to the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards. I caught Tyra Banks being interviewed, and I have to say, she looked pretty great! I liked her choice of a shorter dress, and I thought the coral color looked fantastic on her. The interviewer asked Tyra if that was her real hair--since she's always talking about being cool with your natural hair on her show. Tyra laughed and was like, girl, this is fake, fake, fake. (Pretty good for fake hair though, right?) Tyra mentioned that she's going to ditch her weave ...

06.11.09The Jane Carter SolutionI like to use natural, environmental friendly products whenever possible. I also like my products to work, however, and after my extremely bad experience with Nature’s Gate Organics Volumizing Conditioner in Lemongrass & Clary Sage I was kind of tentative about putting anything "natural" on my hair again. The first Jane Carter Solution product I tried was the Nourish & Shine (4 oz. / $22.00). At first I was a little put off by the scent. It's really natural smelling, which I'm just not a fan of, but I got over it. Nourish & Shine can be used on your hair, ...

04.01.09Boyfriend ReviewsAs promised, my boyfriend tested out Jonathan Product Green Rootine Pure Paste for all my lovely HOTB readers. Here's the lowdown, straight from the boy: "I've been using Green Rootine Pure Paste for about a week and I really like it so far. I hate it when you can "feel" product in your hair all day long. That kind of grosses me out. This one you can feel for an hour or so and then it goes away. Must be the natural ingredients. It smells great (like Key Lime pie!) and is very soft (like cake frosting!). OK, enough ...
