Rare El’ements :: Anti-aging Hair Care For Luxurious Locks.

Emma Pezzack — Wed, 27 May 2009 21:37:59 +0000

I most often think of anti-aging products as related to skincare and I’m fastidious about taking care of my skin, but how many of us remember that hair suffers from the same aging process – and hands up who treats their hair as well as their face? C’mon, be honest! Having recently tried Rare El’ements and experiencing glossy, healthy, strong, shiny hair in place of my usual frizzy, slightly dry, fine locks, I’m a new convert to the world of anti-aging hair care. Rare El’ements set out to revolutionize the mainstream hair care industry by creating products that combine natural luxury with the same performance that salon professionals depend on, and in my opinion, they succeeded.

Aveda Does It Again :: Red Carpet/Green Beauty At The Oscars.

Hot off NY Fashion Week came the Oscars and in this recession, I’m happy to report, not for a moment did they disappoint. As an Organic Glamazon, who loves to watch the stunning parade of gorgeous, glamorous and uber chic gowns, hair and makeup, it was a night of decadent, unapologetic, head-turning, fashion glory that saw couture from Galliano, Yves Saint Laurent, Balmain, Versace, Dior and on it went - in styles from fairy-tale princess to sheathed, strapless, modern goddesses (what about that lineup of past Best Actress winners??). In a show that’s been accused of sadly lacking a ‘green’ emphasis this year, it was refreshing to hear at least some small measure of eco-friendly pushed through the ranks to front and center stage - literally. Yep, Aveda did it again with the red carpet looks of Freida Pinto (radiant in John Galliano) and Dev Patel, the gorgeous stars of Slumdog Millionare, as well as Taraji Henson (Benjamin Button). Celebrity editorial hair stylist Jeffrey Paul was on hand with a team of Aveda stylists to create the elegant and simply beautiful looks, using everything from the Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo, Phomollient Styling Foam, and Light Elements Defining Whip, to do just that… whip them into red carpet ready stunners.

Bad Hair Days Meet Your Match :: Aveda Smooth Infusion.

Emma Pezzack — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:35:49 +0000

Far from being my ‘crowning glory’ my hair is actually my worst nightmare! I have hair that happily resides in ‘neither here nor there’ land when it comes to attributes and seems to have a mind of its own: oily & flat at the roots but some days I get amazing root lift; dry ends that are fragile no matter how many 6wk hair cuts I maintain; easily straightened but immediately ruined by humidity; some days does exactly what I want and others not… I curse that I was not one of the fortunate (and rare?) people who has ‘normal’ hair! However, I was recently sent a sample of the new Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother and not only am I loving it, so is my hair.

New From John Masters Organics :: Shine On Baby!

Emma Pezzack — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 02:20:07 +0000

John Masters can remember a time when 11 or so years ago he hung a sign outside his salon in Manhattan saying that the salon was organic, natural & eco-friendly… and people laughed at how ‘hippy’ he was. How brilliantly just, that he should have the last laugh as one of the world’s most successful and widely respected organic brands. Using only the finest certified organic & natural ingredients combined with an extremely savvy approach to formulation, there is a focus on sustainable, fair trade and conscious business practices that few companies can match. Although they’ve been around for years, the simple, clean, honest and modern design has never lost its appeal. We’re thrilled to bring you this new addition to their lineup called Shine On.
