RAHUA: Ever wished for a secret haircare potion that
could instantly turn your hair nightmare into a dream
come true? So did Fabian Lliguin, owner of New
York’s Cocoon Hair Salon. After much research (and
many dangerous trips to the Amazon jungle), Lliguin
finally unlocked the mystery to beautiful hair: the
Rahua nut. For centuries Amazon women have kept
their luxurious, to-the-ground hair brilliantly healthy by
applying oil from the hard-to-obtain Rahua nut to their
locks. Using this oil, Lliguin created an optimum
leave-in treatment and a cutting-edge pure elixir to
salvage the tresses of the rest of the world.
Available at CocoonHair.com, oil elixir for $175,
leave-in treatment for $125.
NO!NO!: Hair removal is such a trying task–from
shaving to waxing to plucking to depilatory creams,
they’re all so time-consuming and sometimes ineffec-
tive, leaving behind stubble and irritated, unsightly
skin. While laser hair removal is a (costly) viable
option, no!no! looks to be a fabulous cheaper alterna-
tive. Created by Radiancy Ltd., this cutting-edge hair
removal system uses a mild heat wave to eliminate
hair and prevent regrowth. The downside? As with
traditional laser hair removal, multiple sessions are
required. The upside? You can do it from the privacy
of your own home. The portable, battery-powered
device is small and sleek and comes in black, bright
pink, and blue. Available at Sephora for $250.
DR. BRANDT CREASE RELEASE: Pesky fine lines
have a way of creeping up on even the most youthful
skin. Short of expensive toxic injections, there is little
that can be done to combat this skin dilemma. Dr.
Brandt skincare wants to change all that with Crease
Release. It uses complex GABA (gamma amino
butyric acid) to diminish the appearance of fine lines
by releasing the skin’s own natural muscle relaxers. It
also aids in battling the elements that age skin with
ingredients like white tea, green tea, and grapeseed
extract. Available at drbrandtskincare.com for $150.
