Afternoon beauty fix: Keep limp hair in place all day long!
I have fine, limp hair that rarely holds a blowout for longer than a few hours. Is there a hairspray, mousse, or magic elixir that will hold my ‘do in place for an entire day? Expecting a product to carry the full weight of your hair’s problems is a lot to ask. It’s cliche of […]

Afternoon beauty fix: Repairing ultra-bleached hair is possible!
My Debbie Harry–esque blonde bob sure looks cool, but it’s starting to feel and look unhealthy. Is there anything I can do to start the repair? Under a microscope, your bleached hair would appear as porous as Swiss cheese and as delicious as that might sound, the effect is far less appealing. As sad as […]

Afternoon beauty fix: Salvage static-y post-blow-dry hair with a simple sweep
What can I do to salvage my static-y hair post-blow-dry? Dryers usually take the blame for fly-away hair but the actual culprit is the plastic handle on your brush. Plastic conducts electricity, resulting in frizz, but an alternative material like wood will cut the current before it reaches your hair. Kevin Murphy’s Roll Brush ($69, […]

Afternoon beauty fix: Get big, beautiful curls without heat-styling damage
How can I get big, beautiful curls without heat-styling damage? Your hair has suffered enough from years of flat-ironing and hot-rolling, so we recommend drying from the inside with Conair‘s Volume Series Hot Air Volumizer ($31, at mass retailers).

Hollywood beauty: Meet the hair and makeup artists behind film and TV’s influential looks
Featured from left to right: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream skin protectant ($25, at Shoppers Drug Mart) was used to give skin a sheen in A Single Man. Shu Uemura Essence Absolue nourishing protective oil ($68, shuuemura.com) makes damaged strands “shine like baby hair,” says Cornell. Chapstick ($3, at Shoppers Drug Mart) in “Cherry” is offers’ go-to lip tint.
Almost every season, Hollywood has a way of asserting its influence on the runways, with leading ladies from contemporary and iconic films inspiring makeup and hair at several shows. For Fall 2011 alone, makeup artist Val Garland painted a smoky eye at Sophie Theallet to evoke a modern-day Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde, while at Dsquared, she channelled Nicole Kidman in Cold Mountain. And Garland wasn’t the only one mining imdb for muses. Hairstylist Eugene Souleiman had Hailee Steinfeld in mind while he weaved what he refers to as “Amish/True Grit braids” at Kenzo.

Straight edge: The ultimate treatment for taming a full head of stubborn midsummer hair
By Poonam Kaur Billing
Thanks to my East Indian heritage, I’ve had a full head of hair from birth that has proven to be a double-edged sword in life: I never have issues with lack of volume, but learning how to manage my wayward hair is something I have laboured with for years—especially in the summer.
I had been debating a Brazilian Blowout for a while, looking for a shortcut to avoid all the styling and product I need to use, but the whole formaldehyde thing held me back. So when I had the chance to test out L’Oreal Professionel x-tenso—on my first day as a beauty intern at FASHION no less—no coaxing was required, especially with the forecast predicting 32 Celsius for the following day and my hair already looking like a hot mess.

Beauty most wanted: The straightening treatment
Ever since Health Canada red flagged Brazilian blowouts, finding a salon that offers the straightening treatment feels like undercover spy work. An accessible (and formaldehyde-free) alternative, Living Proof Straight Styling Hairspray ($34, at Sephora) is an aerosol version of polyfluoroester—the MIT-born hair-smoothing molecule that blocks frizz in the face of humidity.
