Q: My hair feels like it’s gained a hefty 10 pounds. After all the leave-in conditioners, high-gloss serums, waxes, mousse and hairspray I use constantly week after week, my mane is getting weighed down. How do I make it light, bouncy and shiny again? This product gunk has to go.

What happens during winter?
Let’s see: Christmas, busy travel schedules to visit the folks and old friends, last-minute shopping for presents, chapped lips, frizzy hair, increasing levels of sugar consumption (ginger molasses cookies with cream cheese filling are were my nemesis during Holiday ‘08), massive ingestion of alcoholic beverages (rum and eggnog, yikes!) and dry skin.
