Anyone think it's a coincidence that four of the castaways on Survivor Island are curlyheads? Who else is better suited for the hassle-free hair required for life without gels and blowdryers?
Exerpt from the New York Times Nov. 15 article "Making Their Hair Not Curl"
by Monique Yazigi
For all the New York women, whether heading to the Park Avenue Methodist Church or to Moomba, who love to sport a straight, shiny, smooth-hair look, with just the right flip and swing, there is an army of people like Mr. Lyon. They will tug on their locks with big, round brushes for 20 to 40 minutes and dry them with a jet blast of hot air.
The demand for the talents of blow-dry specialists, who charge from $20 (Astor Place Hair Stylists) to $275 (John Sahag salon on Madison Avenue), seems to be at an all-time high. That is because the long curl-free look, as flaunted by women from Jennifer Aniston on "Friends" to Hillary Rodham Clinton on the cover of the coming December Vogue, bespeaks power and unassailable style at this moment, especially in New York. It has led to a virtual cult of the blowout, as the blow-dry is often called.
Just as women who dyed their hair once had a secret that "only their hairdresser knew for sure," many devotees of the blowout conceal it. They want friends and colleagues to think their hair is naturally straight and full.
Lizzie Grubman, 27, the owner of a public relations agency, has her hair blown out four times a week by four different stylists � at home in her office and in the salon. "No one has ever seen me with curly hair," she said, "and they never will."
Randy Spendlove, 33, a vice president for music and soundtracks at Miramax Films, recalled his surprise at discovering the low affair of New York women for the blowout. He had no idea so many of the women he met really had curly hair. He recalled one day coming across an acquaintance at the gym, when her hair was curled from sweat. "I had no idea who she was," he said. The woman probably didn't want him to.
Because, like the Wicked Witch of the West, there is one thing that instantly spells the demise of blow-dried hair, no matter how expensively styled.
"Water is our enemy," Ms. Grubman said.
If water & humidity is YOUR enemy and want your curl killed than the Rusk Thermal STR8 Thermal Reconditioning System is for YOU!
