HerCut’s standout product is named the catalyst, and the line includes five catalysts, each designed for one of five different haircuts: the bob, the pixie, the shag, the blunt cut and long layers.Think of it this way…if you have a shag, you don’t want your hair to fray out in every direction. The shag catalyst uses a technology (the details are still under wraps) that gives locks controlled separation while the catalyst for long layers creates flexibility so hair is bouncy and the pieces move together.Want to be one of the first to try out these new products?

STATEMENT MAKER: January JonesThe poised star looked stunning in Lanvin, and her black headband stole the show. While the rest of the celebs were pimped out in enough jewels to require a security guard, Miss. January kept up with the Joneses of today (you know, the rest of us who are still recovering from the recession) accessorizing with a chic, satin headband.

For scaly, itchy legs: Hot water is drying so normally I’d say to reduce the water temp when you shower. However, when you’ve got a chill in your bones and there’s no fireplace to cozy up to, sometimes a scalding shower is the lesser of two evils. Just counteract dryness with a good lotion.

It’s not always easy to fit both in, so on those days I fake it with
