New from T3: Orlando Pita Renew Dry Conditioner

Leave it to Orlando Pita. DRY CONDITIONER. Can you even? That's my hair boyfriend, to use Julia's terminology. (Hers, BTW, is Ted Gibson. Since I'm a hair polygamist, I've made Ted my second husband. He's the Niki to Orlando's Barb, if you will.)

Orlando is a genius for so many different reasons, but my favorite is this: He GETS that I potentially ruin my follicular masterpiece when I style it post blow-out with products that make it DAMP. Because for curly hair, damp = curls where you DON'T want them. Also, I don't enjoy a leave-in conditioner (unless I'm going with my natural curls in which case I adore Ouidad Moisture Lock -$22) as it weighs down my hair and makes it look unwashed too quickly. Orlando's arid iteration, T3 Orlando Pita Renew Dry Condioner ($25), sprays on (just hold it 6-8 inches away) and infuses rickety-ish, sticking-out-every-which-way strands with health and dry moisture. It smooths the cuticle quickly with a blend of botanicals and skin care derived ingredients. It penetrates ends with conditioning Quaternium to compliment a dry shampoo sesh.

Renew is available at t3micro.com and Sephora.com

P.S. If you log onto t3micro.com on March 20, you'll have a chance to enter to win one of 500 full-sized Renew bottles!

Product Polygamy Week: Hair

Hair is my everything, dolls.

You know it's a subject I take VERY seriously. So obv, today is the Product Polygamy day I've been waiting for the whole damn week. Without further ado:

SHAMPOO

The Barb: PureOlogy SuperStraight

The Nicki: Alterna Ten

The Margene: Pantene Volume Shampoo ($5) I love this and it's FIVE DOLLARS. You know I have expensive taste when it comes to shampoo. Alterna Ten costs a cool $60. But Pantene just WORKS. Their volume shampoo is perfect: it clarifies and infuses hair with bouncy bouncy volume. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. I simply pair it with a super fance conditioner and feel like a virtuous frugalista.

CONDITIONER

The Barb: Bumble and bumble Super Rich Conditioner

The Nicki: Terax Crema

The Margene: David Babaii for WildAid Hydrating Conditioner


STYLING PRODUCT/TOOLS

The Barb: T3 Evolution

The Nicki: Conair 1" Curling Iron [Julia Allison recommended it and I'm HOOKED. P.S. It costs $15.]

The Margene: The Remington Airwave ($30) OBSESSED. I know that's like, the most hackneyed word in the beauty industry, but there's plum no other way to describe my feeling about this piece of blessed machinery. It's magic. That's all. MAGIC. It creates gorgeous waves via its cra tunnel attachment. I know. It sounds insane. I had been hesitant to use this because my hair is curly and I worried that I'd need to straighten it first before I could get it to form a good wave. It sat in my bedroom all lonely and forlorn because I was afraid of it. I didn't UNDERSTAND it. Then on Tuesday, I saw that Carolyn had some freaking cute waves at the end of her hair and I interrogated the S out of her. She'd used the Remington. That's it. No curling iron. No rollers. I was intrigued, so I tried it last night and was MUCH impressed.

So here's what you do. You blow out your roots/bangs with the dryer using the straightening attachment. Then, when your hair is 30% dry, you push 1" sections through the tunnel which will twist your hair ON ITS OWN into a mini tornado. You then remove the dryer from the section and you have PERFECT SPIRAL WAVES. I RAN out of the bathroom to show my roommate, who asked to borrow Remi (I've named him) TOMORROW. And it's $30!!! My hair looks far more fab than when I spend HOURS blow-drying with a round brush and THEN curling every single piece. Remi does it all in 15 minutes, tops. GET ONE.
