Bang for the Buck

 

Posted by Valerie, Senior Editor

Closing our May/June issue has meant late nights at the office. And late nights at the office mean I'm only too happy to go a couple of days without washing my hair. It generally looks better unwashed anyway, with one exception: the bangs. After a day of getting pushed around my forehead, and just generally handled a lot more than the rest of my hair, they can look a little ... tired. Fortunately, while researching a story a couple of years ago, I ran across a genius product from Stila -- the Creme Bouquet Hair Refresher.

At $28, this powder costs more than pretty much any beauty product I own, but I've had my current bottle for well over a year and it's still half-full. Just squirt a couple of puffs into your hand and run it through greasy, limp, or malodorous hair, and it'll suddenly be full and clean-looking (and clean-smelling). So much better than baby powder -- no residual white streaks (or diaper associations).

Great suggestion! I've been looking for a replacement ever since Bumble and Bumble changed their packaging on me. It never worked as well as it previously had, and ran out twice as fast.

Thanks.
