We talked recently about that 'eeek!' moment when you realize halfway through the day that an evil red pimple is starting to appear on your face. Now, continuing our list of beauty issues that seem to jump up on you, this week we are discussing...The Bad Hair Day.

Whatever the case, I've probably been there and (with this crazy hot summer we've had) I know I'm not alone. No matter what bad hair day issues you'll encounter, we have products to help you out.
