Spritz Surf Spay on wet hair for a  salty, sun-dried, windswept style like Blake Lively.

Brilliantine gives hair a piecey-polished look like Jennifer Aniston’s sexy, slept-in  ‘do.

Creme de Coco Shampoo is an extra-mild, luxurious cleanser with a blend of moisture-rich Coconut and Murumuru Butters to help restore sheen and softness while improving flexibility and minimizing frizz. The moisture-rich Creme de Coco Conditioner adds shine and improves manageability for a soft, effortless look like Kim Kardashian.

Prep is a must for fine hair like Gwyneth Paltrow.  This nutrient-rich detangler reveals texture, enhances the performance of styling products and refreshes already styled hair.

Defrizz does what it says (and more): protects against frizz, acts as a barrier to humidity and leaves hair soft, silky and flyaway-free. Great for naturally curly hair like Taylor Swift.

The Little Luxury: Fekkai ‘Beachcomber’ Leave-In Conditioner with SPF: $24.00

Relationship status: Beach Buddies

How it works: With the push of the pump, spritz this nourishing leave-in conditioner onto wet tresses to instantly detangle and rehydrate fried locks.

Advice for first time users: After hopping out of the pool, rinse hair under fresh water to wash out chlorine and harmful chemicals. Then spray Beachcomber from tips to root (bottom to top) for instant softness and shine. Comb through for even distribution.

Trial and error: When going from beach to boardwalk, apply sparingly at the scalp on wet hair to avoid an over greased look when dry.

Best of all: It’s infused with a UV shield that helps protects hair and scalp while preventing color-fading (chemically colored and natural hues can lose brilliance with over-exposure to the sun’s ray).

Hot Stone Scale (1-6): 5

You digging it?

Now who saw this one coming? AMA-sweeping Justin Bieber delivered a surprise at his Barnes & Noble book launch event last Friday — a new hair do! We’re so used to seeing the Biebs chilling like a lamp shade in his one of a kind side swept mushroom mop, so this slight part in his bangs will take us a little time to get used to. (Insert sarcasm here.) While the new cut doesn’t seem to be anything dramatic and nothing more than a minor trim (or is is just a bad hair day?), it’s managed to make headlines across the web. Albeit slight, as a bona-fide American hair icon, any change is a big one. Following Justin’s lead, we think it’s an opportune time to show up to your next holiday party sporting a new shag.

From now until the end of the month (and always) many of our spas are offering deals on haircuts and some of them have thrown in color and treatments as well. At Fate Image Studio in Scottsdale, AZ receive a free hair cut and style with purchase of any color service, at the fabulous Anush Hair Design in Beverly Hills, CA get a haircut with blow-dry for $50, and purchase a regular priced hair cut for yourself and half-off for your child’s at Tonic Salon & Day Spa in Columbia, SC. Be sure to check out our spa deals for more ways to Beib-ify your life.

Every once in a while amongst our musings and ramblings about spa treatments, beauty and random thoughts that we think (hope) are funny, we receive a Tweet question so good that it’s worthy of not just a tweet back, but a full investigative report and blog post. This time the Tweeter who shall remain “@”-less because we can’t for the life of us find the tweet again, wanted to know how to Rapunzelize her tresses. Simply stated:

“How do I make my hair grow faster?”

I consulted with a couple hair pros for the exact formula of vitamins, foods and products that will help reach the long, luscious results desired by so many women.

Bruce Conroy, hair expert and owner of Senses New York who has been keeping tresses healthy for 28 years, has the following 3 pieces of advice (which he shared with me over my Ke$ha makeover):

1. Take horsetail pills

Horsetail is used to treat a variety of things from period bloating to frostbite, and it is also used to treat hair loss. Many take them to make their hair grow faster. You can get them at GNC for just $8.99. (As with any pills, please make sure to read about possible side effects to make sure it’s something safe for you.)

2. Get more of THESE foods into your diet:

Beans, eggs, berries (high in Vitamin B)

Oats, brown rice and sunflower seeds (high in Biotin)

Carrots and Kale (high in Vitamin A)

Nuts (high in Vitamin E)

Vitamin supplements will also do the trick, but don’t cheat yourself out of all the nutritious value in these foods.

3. Don’t forget the ENDS of your hair

Bruce also swears by AG Split End Spa repair serum. This will not help your hair grow faster from the root, but he guarantees it will help stop breakage and split ends, which is the reason your hair might never seem to grow. (Also, do not forget trims every 2-3 months to keep your ends tamed – letting it grow and grow is NOT the answer!)

The 4th one is not from Bruce…

4. Enter: The Apothecary

I also just happened to meet a woman over the weekend by the name of Vibha Raval, who runs a very interesting hair business where everything is made by hand personalized for each of her customers. No official branding or bottles or website, just a Facebook page and a little black book of clients. She cross-promotes with Bio-oil and Carols Daughter, and focuses on sustainable, eco-friendly, vegetarian products, using Ayurvedic products in a Western context. One of her most popular products was created to promote hair growth, and is called Brahmi Hair Tonic.

Ingredients: Neem, Argan oil, Amla, Tea Tree oil, Coconut oil, Grape seed oil, Castor oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, filtered clarified Butter, Panthenol, Biotin, Niacin. TO USE: Massage in to the scalp at night. You may use this product with a heating cap, or without one. For scalp only. A 4 oz. vile is $9.75. To contact Vibha,visit her Facebook page.

You love steam rooms at the spa. You love summertime. But dare that steamy humidity creep outside on a summer’s day after a blowout, and suddenly you wish you’d never admitted to loving either of those things.

The 2010 solution? Forget hair irons, forget Japanese straightening and its evil frizzy-root aftermath—Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy is THE system revolutionizing the industry of smooth hair.

We spoke to Helena Cohen, director of Ardan Medspa and Salon in Wellesley, Massachusetts to get the scoop on Keratin Hair Therapy. Who’s doing it? “Editors. A lot of editors. Everyone. We get 3-4 people in a week. And 100% of our clients have been 100% thrilled every time.”

Keratin Complex is a smoothing system that infuses keratin – a powerfully rich protein – deep into the hair cuticle, eliminating up to 95% of frizz and curl and cutting blow-drying time by up to 70%. Its unique formulation incorporates high pH replenishers that automatically open cuticles and infuse Keratin Amino Proteins and emollients into hair – all while keeping environmental toxins like smoke and UV rays out. Keratin Complex has already been called the new wave of designer hair care; it’s the natural Botox for hair because it not only stops time in its tracks, but reverses it as well. What you’re left with is the softest, smoothest, shiniest and most luxurious head of hair that can last twelve full weeks.

Unlike straightening treatments, Keratin Complex is completely safe to be used on all hair types, even on chemically and color-treated hair, and rather than that unnatural pin-straight look, Keratin leaves your hair with bounce and glamour.

“When it comes to Keratin Therapy, I only use Peter Coppola,” says Cohen, who has been in the industry, teaching and training for 35 years. She claims that none of the other brands compare, so she wouldn’t ever think of offering them to her clients.

AT-HOME BEAUTY TRIAL: The Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner without the treatment? I’ve never had the treatment done myself, but I’ve been using the Peter Coppola Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy shampoo and conditioner for the past month, and if it’s any indication, the stuff is good. It’s formulated to be used after getting the treatment to protect and preserve, but I like the way my hair has taken to the formula even without it. It definitely doesn’t have Keratin salon therapy results, but it’s been one of the best shampoo/conditioner sets I’ve tried in a while. To order, visit keratincomplex.com

BIG DEAL: Ardan Medspa and Salon is offering Keratin Hair Therapy with a special Spa Week® price during our May Spa Steals & Deals: $350, usually $500. You’ll see it posted May 1. Just mention Spa Week when booking!
