The idea that even your hair is above tap water may seem a little snooty, but then again, so does buying a $60 shampoo. This small showerhead acts just like a Brita filter, removing all the chemicals and metals to restore your water's pH balance. You only have to install it once (it takes 4 easy steps) and it won't affect your shower pressure. The result? Your hair sustains less damage on a daily basis, making it dramatically healthier (i.e. soft and shiny).
Forget the stickers, this kit makes achieving a long-lasting mani a total cinch. All you have to do is paint the special shellac formula lacquers, add a topcoat, stick hands into a mini UV lamp, and voila! Your paint job will be chip-free for two weeks. The only people who'll still find this hard are those who haven't mastered the DIY mani already.
OK, so this isn't exactly high tech, but it definitely qualifies as a gadget in our books. Imagine towel-drying your hair and untangling knots at the same time. This works just like a regular brush, except it has super-absorbent microfiber bristles that sop up moisture, cutting back dry-time dramatically. Bonus: This gadget makes your morning routine even quicker.
Salon or DIY? It's the eternal question. We put the latest at-home treatments to the test to see which products actually work better than an appointment with a pro.
If 2012 taught us anything it's that geek is the new chic.
Keeping up with the latest advancements in technology has become a necessity in nearly every walk of life, especially when it comes to grooming. But where does that leave gals who aren't exactly tech-savvy? Sure, the spa is still a valid option, but then you'd be missing the whole point of the newest beauty gadgets: to reduce those beauty bills.
Of course, those savings aren't going to do squat for you if you can't even figure out how to turn on that latest "doohickey" or "thingamajig."
So, even if you aren't a nerd at heart, that doesn't mean you have to be left out when it comes to using anything other than a Clarisonic. Consider this your cheat sheet -- a guide to all the new, easy, at-home beauty gadgets that are actually worth the cash. They may look like they're straight from the future, but we promise they're so easy to operate, even a cave woman could figure it out.
