Confessions of a Hair Color Virgin

Before and After: Nice 'n Easy Foam Color Review

Having colored my hair dozens of times as a teenager, I'm no stranger to unusual hues. Pink, red, purple, black, green (OK, that last one was a mistake) — I've worn it all. That was then. This is now: virgin, natural brown hair that hasn't been colored in years. And as it turns out, upon close inspection, the "natural blond highlights" I'd thought were peeking through were actually gray. I Read more

Grey's Anatomy Recap, "If/Then"

Last year we had the Grey's Anatomy musical episode, and this season it's the alternate-reality episode. That's right: as Meredith ponders on the veracity of the phrase "meant to be," we get to see what could have been — or in this case, what was always destined to be. Though this is a filler episode if I ever saw one, it's still pretty fun to see the characters go down different paths (well, Read more

How to Deal With a Bad Haircut

We're happy to present this story from our friends at Allure: After countless forgettable trims, I finally worked up the courage the to get an actual haircut this past weekend. I walked into my salon with long waves and walked out with choppy layers, wispy bangs, and tears welling up in my eyes.

How to Save Money by Skipping the Hairstylist (and When)

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

How to Color Your Hair at Home With Box Color

The models above have gorgeous, velvety brown hair. And if you guessed that this color came from hours in an expensive salon chair, you'd be wrong. Colorist Marie Robinson colored their hair for the Spring 2012 Naeem Khan show with Clairol Perfect 10 (some of which she picked up at a nearby drugstore during a last-minute run). "Coloring hair at home isn't as scary as people think," she says. "A Read more

Your Highness: The Dark Ages Done Dirty

Your Highness Movie Review

Your Highness may have a marijuana reference right there in the title, but it's not exactly Cheech and Chong in tights. It is, however, an amusing spoof from director David Gordon Green, who reproduces the comedic tone of his last movie, Pineapple Express. He also reunites with a couple of its cast members; James Franco stars as Fabious, a virtuous prince in line for the throne, and Danny McBride Read more
