Farouk Shami, founder of Farouk Systems, has been turning a lot of heads lately. Well, for years, really. First, there's his wildly popular CHI line of styling tools and his revolutionary BioSilk products. And who can forget his November announcment that he's running for the governor of Texas on the democratic ticket. But the biggest news of all?

EXCLUSIVE! Tomi Ilic, founder of Hair Religion, shares his experience at the Sundance Film Festival. Tomi Ilic (center) poses with The Runaways lead singer, Cherie Currie (right) and her twin sister Marie. "The movie was amazing!" he exclaims.

Sexy Hair celebrates the future by honoring its past. When Launchpad received the invite to attend the Sexy Hair RED Party, I accepted without hesitation. Not only do I truly love the venerated brand, but also I was excited to witness the farewell bash for its founder, Michael O’Rourke (who has since started a new company, Love Your Hair). If I knew Sexy, then I knew it was gonna be a par-tay!

It may have rained on the Golden Globes red carpet last night, but it certainly didn't dampen Penelope Cruz's stunning style! Launchpad LOVED her sophisticated 'do, which channeled classic Hollywood glam.

For those of you who don't know, I had my beautiful son, James, last year (he just turned one on October 28!). Anyway, I just had to share with you this funny story.
