Second- or third-day hair has its own unique appeal, as unwashed strands have a perfect devil-maycare dishevelment, à la Lou Doillon. But with all that coolness comes a price, including crispy ends, frizz, and the stench of last night’s dive bar. Dry shampoo, while great at getting at the grease and odor, can leave tresses with a less-thandesirable texture. But if you could condition hair without getting it wet, all your problems would be solved, right? Oscar Blandi seems to think so. His Pronto Dry Conditioner detangles, softens, and smooths without forcing you to take a shower and ruin your hard-earned bedhead in the process. oscar blandi pronto dry conditioner spray, $25, sephora.com
Clichéd, but true: It’s better to give than to receive. So why not double down by procuring gifts that benefit not just the recipient but also someone in need? Especially when the goody we’re talking about is a tub of Kiehl’s cult fave Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter, and the beneficiaries are underprivileged children. To honor the partnership with Share Our Strength, the brand asked 11-year-old Sofie Shore, daughter of the organization’s co-founder Debbie Shore, to design a label for limited-edition coriander- and grapefruitscented versions of the body cream. And with 100 percent of profits going to the No Kid Hungry campaign, which aims to end childhood hunger, this is one purchase that will make you feel good, inside and out. kiehl’s crème de corps limited edition grapefruit and coriander scented whipped body butter, $38 each, kiehls.com
There is a phenomenon known as synesthesia, in which the senses of taste, sight, and smell are intertwined. For people who experience a connection between the last two, just seeing a color can conjure up the smell of something tangentially related to it. (For example: See yellow, smell lemons.) In a way, that’s what Revlon did with its Parfumerie Nail Enamel, which matches each shade with a related fragrance so you can choose from 24 options including lacquer that looks and smells like an apricot, a deep green option with a hint of fir tree, or a watery hue matched with the scent of the sea. revlon parfumerie scented nail enamel, $6 each, revlon.com
