What? Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper Brushable Strong-Hold Hairspray

Why we love it? Sure hairspray's can be a dime a dozen. Sticky and stinky, their sole purpose is to hold your hair in place for the big night, job interview, date from heaven. Which is why it's best when the spray can do exactly what you want. Tousle your locks and spray hair to achieve a casual look, or spray in a fine mist over styled hair for long-lasting hold. The best part, besides the fact that it's not sticky (suprememly brushable) or stinky (smells like cucumber) is that you can reshape and respray your 'do throughout the day for a fresh look with the same hold.

 Where to buy?  Leading pharmacies including Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall. Aprox. $20.

What? Venus & Olay Razor

Why we love it? Bare legs are a woman's best accessory for spring and summer, and the smoother and softer, the better. That's why the Venus/Olay combo is a must-have this season.

Like with any Venus razor, it has interchangeable blades, a shower mount and a comfortable grip. Meet your new bff!

Celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon has died at the age of 84. His family was by his side at his Molholland Drive home in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon. “When officers arrived, there were family members at the residence,” Los Angeles police spokesman said in a statement.

Though the cause of death remains unknown, last year, he admitted that he’d been battling leukemia since 2009.

At 14, Sassoon got his foot in the door of the beauty world as a shampoo boy in London, England. His career flourished as he defined hair trends with iconic cuts like the ‘bob’. In 1954, Sassoon opened his first salon, which have since expanded across the UK, USA, Canada and Germany.

As his popularity rose into the 80s, Sassoon starred in a brief TV series, Your New Day with Vidal Sassoon.

Sassoon was one of the first hairdressers to create a line of hair products that were readily available to the public. Because of this, he has become a household name and his mantra to make hair easy and effortless will forever live on.
