Laila Ali Launches Skincare, Haircare, Fragrances Line

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance, Green, Celebrity Design

Boxing beauty, famous daughter, and singer Laila Ali now has a full line of beauty products -- skincare (Global Complexion), haircare (Global Texture), and fragrances for women (Laila), and men (KO). The line is affordable and strives to be eco-friendly, two things that don't always go hand in hand.

Both the skincare and haircare lines are made with a blend of sulfate- and paraben-free ingredients combined with exclusive Derm Essential moisturizers. Plant derivatives, plant-based compounds, and sea kelp extracts are used for the line's essential oils instead of oils derived from animal products. Organic, hypoallergenic, wrapped in recyclable packaging, and designed for daily use. All products in both lines are $13 each.

Fragrances are $40 for women and $47 for men. Both are a 3.4 oz. EDT spray.

Fashion Week Hair: Get the Look

Over at Milk Studios, Frederic Fekkai called the shots backstage at Proenza Schouler. We've been missing our beach hair all winter long, so were thrilled to see the easy textured looks seen on the runway. Lead stylist Didier Malige created the stunning array of hairstyles inspired by the urban surfer girl, focusing on relaxed and easy waves. To get the look, prep hair with Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel, and then spritz with Oceanique Tousled Wave spray. Once you've flipped your head a few times and lifted your roots with your fingers, finish with Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Creme to keep the ends silky and defined. Relying on Fekkai's quality products, it's sure to be healthier than saltwater on your tresses.

Sally Hershberger Intros Luxe Layers Hair Stying Gel

Celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger invited a few lucky bloggers to her downtown NYC salon on September 3 for the unveiling of her newest hairstyling product, Luxe Layers Protective Blow Out Gel, available exclusively on HSN. I was there to see Hershberger in action, which was a real treat, because cuts with her run $800, so I likely won't be a client anytime soon. Note that this doesn't mean I wasn't secretly hoping she'd pull me from the audience for an impromptu fix of my style. Alas, that didn't happen, but Hershberger did demonstrate the product on a few models. The video of the event is on Hershberger's homepage now.

Luxe Layers is easy just to use -- just a few pumps, rubbed in your hands, then spread throughout your hair, provides thermal protection/prevents against heat damage, seals against color wash-out, protects against the sun and environmental aggressors, and blocks humidity and static to minimize frizz and flyaways. It's made from a proprietary complex of cationic polymers, natural cellulose, and amino acids, is blended with silk and cashmere extracts for internal strength with superior smoothing and long-lasting styling effect. It's alcohol-free, not tested on animals, does not contain animal products or drying solvents, and is non-silicone based, so it won't weigh down even fine hair. Hershberger says it also helps blow-outs last longer.

Luxe layers ($18.00/5 oz.) is just one of Hershberger's full line of products, all reasonably priced. You can get her Luxe Layers Trio on HSN, or just try my new favorite, Genius Spray Wax.

Seeing the product demonstrated live was much better than Hershberger just telling us about it. You can catch Hershberger on HSN doing just this on September 8 at 1 a.m., 8 a.m., and 7 p.m., and on September 9 at 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. To see her demonstrate other products, check out her styling tips videos.
