    We can thank the Hairspray movie for introducing this star hair product to a new generation. The number of people who rely on this fine mist for everyday wear is higher than you think.

    It provides an essential function – finishing off any look with hold while making your do look natural.

    3 – Getting there …
    4 – Almost perfect
    5 – Knock-your-socks-off good (more…)

Because shaving exfoliates the skin, you need to follow up with your favourite body cream, lotion or oil to prevent dryness.

    Razors come in different shapes, sizes and with different numbers of blades and moisture strips. You need to find the right one for you. Just remember to change your blade every two weeks or so, depending on how often you want to be fuzz free. (more…)
