  • Hair nectar of the gods

    The FASHION copy department is home to a lot of thick, curly, somewhat unruly hair. Siofan Davies (assistant editor/research) possesses a mane of blonde shoulder-length curls, while I (copy and health editor) have tons of long chestnut waves prone to frizz. So we are a fertile testing ground for moisturizing/anti-frizz hair products—beauty editor Lesa Hannah will often lob something new over the partition for us to try. The two of us don’t always have the same hair reactions (she usually blow-dries, I arrive at work damp), but we are in complete agreement about one thing: Moroccanoil ($39, moroccanoil.com) is hair nectar from the gods.

  • Anti-frizz products that work!

    oct09nofrizzLike all hopeful curly haired girls out there, my daughter Molly and I will try anything once–especially if it swears to smooth and de-frizz!  It’s magic to our ears and we’re suckers every time!  Each new product we eagerly unwrap fills us with happy straight hair dreams and promises to seduce us with life-changing, lock-loving  results. (Trust me we’ve got the overflowing cupboard full of tried-once, SO not-happening  products to prove it!)  But just when we were about to swear off all styling products  for good and embrace our not so fab frizz forever, along came true love in a bottle.  And we’ve got the Living Proof ($26 each, sephora.com)!
