Review of the Week: Hair Care (Nov 26-Dec 2)

As you probably already know, the cold winter air can do a serious number on your hair. What used to be soft, wavy locks turn into rough bristles. Not so great. 

Because of the harsh season up ahead, we thought it would be useful to know what all you chicks use to keep your hair in tip top condition. This week, from November 26th to December 2nd, we want you to review a hair care product. When...

Winter Beauty Survival Guide: Hair Care

Whether it's making your normally luscious locks do an excellent impression of straw or giving you a serious case of hat head, winter is not a good friend to your hair (or skin for that matter!). This is doubly true for those of us with colour treated hair. Add that daily wash and the heat from your curler/blow dryer/straightener and you've got a recipe for dry hair disaster on your hands...

Quickie DIY: Sequined Hair Clip

Adding a hair clip is one of the easiest ways to take a basic hair style and effortlessly dress it up. It works on different hair lengths, hair styles, colours and looks gorgeous on anyone.

Beauty Talk with The Bachelor Canada: How to Make a Good First Impression

When I got asked to attend the Bachelor Canada brunch hosted by Rimmel London Canada, I figured that I would be staring starry-eyed at a good looking man for an hour or so, and I was right! But I also picked up some notes from the Canadian Bachelor himself, Brad Smith. The first ever all-Canadian Bachelor had a goal (besides finding love, obviously) to break boundaries with a reality television...

Fall 2012 Hair Trends

Though most of us don't change our hairstyles every season, Fall is the one time of year it's really hard to resist.  The heat, sun and surf are a perfect storm for split ends and brassy colour.  And with the arrival of fresh new wardrobe options, naturally you want to top your look off with great hair.

Dress Up Your Top Knot Bun

Maybe I shouldn't admit this but I just can't hold it in any longer. Ttruth is, lately I can't be bothered with my hair. If you look back into past pose offs or articles, I almost always have my hair down. But for the past few months, my locks have been permanently locked (I know, I know, I'm bad) into a top knot style. I love a good bun. Seriously. They're just so much...

Trending in Fashion: The Statement Headband

If the previously discussed princess-esque headchains were a little out of your comfort zone but you still want to play with a headpiece trend this fall, you need to go out and get yourself a statement headband. 


Dolce and Gabana really hit it out of the park in their fall 2012 show when they put gloriously baubled headbands on model's heads (yes, gloriously baubled is a thing). The...

DIY Beauty: How to Make Dry Shampoo

Let's be honest with each other for a sec. I (and I think can safely say we) don't wash my (our) hair everyday. Some days, it might even be a little oily (gasp!). I would like to say that my disdain for hair washing comes from a strict beauty routine and not wanting to strip my hair of it's natural oils. The truth is far less glamorous though, it boils down to pure laziness.
