WATCH: Retrohair @ Premiere Orlando


Beauty Launchpad fashion editor Karie L. Frost stops by the Retrohair booth to talk shop with international creative director Gino Martino, who shares the company’s goal of stopping diversion with its “Friends don’t let friends buy haircare from drug stores!” campaign, as well as his dry-cutting technique.

It's Easy Being Green


Last night, I migrated to Venice, California's über trendy Abbott Kinney Blvd. to join Philip Pelusi at The Detox Market as he introduced Tela Beauty Organics to the West Coast. Philip demonstrated the certified organic line's multifaceted capabilities on models of varying ages and hair types. I even got a chance to sample Tela's dry shampoo, which not only worked wonders on my limp locks but left my mane with a clean lavender scent that was downright intoxicating. Guests were also invited to enjoy makeup applications courtesy of eco-luxury brand Kide.

Are Hair Booms a Bust?


As most of you are now aware, Matter of Trust (matteroftrust.org), a San Francisco-based environmental non-profit organization, has helped clean up oil spills since 1998 by reusing donated hair clippings from hair salons, barber shops, pet groomers, and wool farmers. These donated manes are stuffed into recycled nylon stockings, creating highly absorbent booms to help contain oil spills. Since the Gulf Coast oil spill began, the group has been coordinating efforts to collect donations in temporary warehousing along the coast.
