When you hear the word “pollution,” all sorts of thoughts come to mind: smog, dirty cities, the fact that it’s nearly impossible to wear white in an urban city with mass transit (seriously – the struggle is all too real). While the annoyance of dirty clothes is one thing, we rarely stop to think about what all this pollution is doing to our bodies. And if we’re being a little vain about it, it’s kind of wrecking our hair.  

We get it, washing your hair daily or every other day is a hassle. Not only that, overwashing can wreak havoc on your strands and your color. If you'd like to go a little longer between washings (without people knowing, of course) there are bunch of new hair volumizers that can help. These volumizing hair products come in the form of sprays, powders and dry shampoos that when applied to limp second- or third-day hair can eliminate grease, plump up the volume and neutralize any odors, some even imparting a nice fragrance. Here, we introduce you to some of our favorite new body-builders. So say buh-bye to sad, deflated locks — with volume like that, everyone will think it's freshly washed.

How good are you at remembering to wear sunscreen? Turns out, there might be another wavelength of light you should be concerned about. "Consumers mostly know only about UVA and UVB light, but HEV (blue light) also exists," says Dr. Sameer Bashey, a board-certified dermatologist at the ZO Skin Centre. "This light comes from the sun but can also be emitted from phones, tablets and computer screens."

Every New York Fashion Week, we're gifted gorgeous new clothing to ogle during a quick 10-minute catwalk, but many attendees are unaware of the hours-long preparation process that happens behind the scenes leading up to the show. Models are ushered in from their last gig, only to be completely transformed into the designer's vision. This process takes an entire crew of makeup artists, hair stylists and nail technicians furiously working their magic.

Did you catch the mid-century glam pastel explosion at the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week? "I think we've colored about 37 girls," said Redken Global Color creative director Josh Wood in a press release. "This is the biggest color project I've worked on, with every single girl being a different color."
