I Found the Most Luxe Hair Gift Sets for the Holidays (and They're Going Fast)

Mane maintenance  can be a serious chore if you don't have the right tools for your specific hair type. Take it from someone who knows. If you have extra-long , thick, or curly hair , let's just say that's a whole separate ball game. Why not help out a friend, family member, or yourself in a big way this holiday season by giving the gift of silky, smooth, enviable locks? I know there's a very high probability you're already on wallet rest after Black Friday, but I have to be  that  person really quick and say that you aren't going to want to miss out on these hair gift sets , either. Brands have strategically made many of them limited-edition (the nerve) so you're going to need to act fast. If giving the gift of luxurious locks is high on your priority list, scroll through and snag one of the below sets before they're gone. Nope, you're not dreaming, all of Gisou's honey-infused haircare heroes now come in a set of cute little minis. Buy it ...

A Celeb Stylist Told Me the Best Wavy-Hair Routine, and I'm Never Going Back

I love having wavy hair —when it cooperates. On a good hair day, I’m able to achieve tousled waves that look like I just got back from a surfing session, but on a bad hair day, it takes the shape of an equilateral triangle. Wavy hair can be finicky, so I’ve tried to perfect styling it, but sometimes, I simply have to throw it into a  topknot or twist it back with a claw clip . To help learn how to get  beachy waves every day (and not just because of a stroke of luck), I reached out to stylists who specialize in waves and coils for their wavy-hair advice. Read on to find out what the best routine is for waves and the best wavy-hair-routine products to create stunning waves at home. Think of it this way: All waves are curls, but not all curls are waves. If you have waves, you likely have 2A, 2B, or 2C hair. “Waves are usually classified as visible S waves that tend to move all in the same direction from roots to ends,” says James Ruiz , Bumble and Bumble styl...

These Rollerball Perfumes Smell Intoxicatingly Good (and Are Carry-On Approved)

I’m pretty good at packing my entire life into a carry-on bag , but there’s always one thing that stumps me: my fragrance collection. I’m a die-hard fragrance lover, and my day-to-day life consists of choosing one of  my many fragrances and spritzing it on with ease.  When it comes to traveling, I never know how to pack my fragrances. Sometimes, I seriously consider springing for a checked bag just to bring a full-size fragrance bottle or two. Luckily, over the years, I’ve worked on growing my rollerball perfume collection. Rollerballs are the best perfumes to travel with. Not only are they almost always under 3.4 ounces, but their unique applicator is virtually mess-free, so you won’t have to worry about a Gypsy Water–scented explosion happening in your suitcase. (Although, I think we can all agree that wouldn’t be the worst thing.) Below, find my favorite rollerball perfumes to take on an airplane, throw in your shoulder bag, or just keep in your bathroom drawer. Plus...
