Stephan Zenz is a DJ turned stylist who has worked on hair in London, Germany, and now has a salon in the Philippines where he tends to the manes of the rich and famous. He's worked with every hair type under the sun and has some real goodies to share.

Now that we've got that out of the way onto his styling tips.

We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

Alright, alright so at home hair color isn't the best way to go we admit. However, with the dollar floundering around like a fish out of water, $200+ salon trips just ain't happenin. So we've had to resort to that $10 box with high hopes that one day, just maybe one day, we'll get that at home color right.

We all love the sunshine, warmth, and good times that the summer brings. We don't love the sweaty, oily, frizzy hair. But fear not friends, it doesn't have to be that way! There are a few pieces of advice that will get you through the summer sans frizzes.

As the sun gets hotter and the humidity rises, many girls who straighten their hair most of the year opt to go curly. If you're considering going curly for the season, you might be intrigued by the idea of a curling shampoo.

But, according to The Beauty Brains, you probably shouldn't waste your money.

The Stylelist post about hair myths and truths got us thinking about our favorite hair gear.

Their expert sort of, um, debunked volumizing shampoos, but we love thickening products. In fact, three of our top five faves are thickening related!

They also said that a blow out is vital for high volume, and this combined dryer/round brush is another big favorite.

Now it's your turn. What are your cherished hair beautifiers? Best products, styling tools, techniques? Don't be shy, come on and share!

We can't wait to hear from you!

I'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Tell me a little about your company. On December 5th, 2005 AnitaGrant.com was created, by the all round self-proclaimed cosmetic-label-reader-ingredient junkie-mixtress, Anita. At anitagrant.com we believe in cultural focus by purchasing directly from farming communities and/or partnerships with fair trade suppliers throughout the world, helping to maintain economic independence & cultural survival. Using a variety of plant-based ingredients from different countries around the globe; we are celebrating ecological & cultural diversity.

How did you get started running your business? It wasn't until I blistered my hands using a store bought bottle of so called "safe synthetics" that I decided not to purchase another off the shelf hair care product again. Since 2005, I've been making my own brand of natural and organic skin care and hair care. You shouldn't need a degree in bio-chemistry to understand the ingredient list of a hair care or skin care product label. It was a bit difficult at first to decipher all the Latin (INCI) nomenclature of the ingredients and separate the "bozwellox" from true benefits but I got there in the end. It's so liberating to be able to read the label of a product, understand the ingredients contained within and say "NATURALLY, I can do better."

What are your top fashion & beauty must-haves? If I were trapped on a desert island it better be one with a Coconut tree and fresh Coconuts hanging from it. I would cut it open and eat the fresh white meat, rub a bit of the Coconut water on my hands and moisturize my skin and curly Afro hair with it - loads of uses.

And sometimes technology doesn't win.

The Beautiful Vending Styler is the latest beauty must-have taking over the UK. What could be more popular than Soap & Glory you ask? A vending machine that comes equipped with "award winning GHD irons."

I'm assuming it works like any other vending machine wherein you put some coinage inside to get your desired product -- except I doubt your bag of Fritos has as many germs on it as these community flat irons do. (Ew, I feel gross just typing that.)

Although the high temperatures of the plates keep the flat irons sterile, the handles don't have a similar type of protection. And considering the fact that people don't even like to touch the door handles in bathrooms, I just can't fathom why thousands of women in the UK are all willing to share the same hair straightner.

I mean, you wouldn't share your hair brush with that many people, right?

What do you do when you wake up looking like your hair is fit for a bird (as a nest) than a public appearance? Well, first you put on a hat, then you put on dark sunglasses, and then you take your hot mess looking self to the nearest Nordstrom for hair care products.

How do I know all of this? I know this because my hair was a hot mess just the other day. My hair looked like a bird's nest. This wasn't just a case of me being overly critical of my own hair; someone else actually said it too! Yikes.

As I was hunting for products at Nordstrom a heavenly light shone down on this bottle of Biosilk. It looked glossy and shiny -- everything my hair wasn't. I picked up the bottle and headed straight for the register (well I may have stopped in the Savvy department on the way).

When I got home I coated my hair with a few drops of the precious hair silk. I put on my D&G scarf and plopped down on the coach to watch 'An American in Paris' (bad hair makes me want to watch musicals). By the time the movie was over my hair had returned to it's non-bird's nest state. Best money I ever spent, that day.

Just when you thought Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) had officially taken over the planet, and there was no escape from the incessant stream of songs, movies and TV shows featuring the teenage uber-star -- now there's yet another way the pint-size pop tart is worming her way into your life. Introducing Hannah Montana hair care.

Granted, you probably won't be using this. Just like the rest of the Montana empire, these 8-oz bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and "glitter spritz spray" are targeted at kids. Lotta Luv, the company behind the move, say they'll be shipping out hoards of the stuff come summer -- just in time for all the girls to make their parents buy it amidst the flurry of back-to-school shopping.

And parents, rest assured, your children will be asking for it. Unless you've been ignoring your daughter for the last year or two, you're undoubtedly aware that Hannah Montana is the number one ranked cable show for kids ages 6 to 14, her concerts sell out in minutes and she was one of Billboard's top 20 selling artists of 2007. Plus, stores like Wal-Mart will be displaying the new hair care products in Hannah Montana "boutiques" -- complete with clothing, bedding, toys and shoes.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Uh, no. Not that James Brown. (He's dead, remember?)

The James Brown launching a new haircare line with supermodel Kate Moss is actually a hair stylist. Moss and Brown are releasing their shampoos, conditioners and whatever else to the public on October 1st -- but if you really can't wait another week, enter this competition on the James Brown site, and you could win a set of the products to try out before they appear in the stores.

While Moss' generally stringy, heroine chic coiffure doesn't really seem like it should be inspiration for an entire haircare line, the products will apparently be filled with nettle, watercress, white tea, wheatgerm, and Murumuru butter (which all sound very pleasant) -- plus, they'll have a woodland scent. Yum.

I wash my hair with good-old-fashioned shampoo, and I figured I was lookin' alright. But today I learn that if I want my hair to really shine, I need to spend the big bucks.

At least, that's how it works for Catherine Zeta Jones, who apparently has so much money that she can spend more than £200 (about $400) just washing her hair. How is this even possible, you ask? Does she light her bathroom with fires made from burning money?

Not exactly (but almost). The actress believes she got her shiny locks by lathering her scalp in truffles and caviar. A spa near London flies in the fish eggs from Iran five days ahead of every treatment, then, upon Miss Zeta-Jones' arrival, washes her hair in a truffle-based shampoo before smearing on the caviar -- all while the star sips champagne and nibbles on culinary delicacies.

According to a source for the UK's Daily Mail, "The eggs are packed with omega-3 fatty acids necessary for the formation of structural proteins" which are supposed to repair dry and damaged hair.

According to me, this salon is scamming rich people and getting away with it.

Marketing in the UK seems simple: come up with new product; pitch said product to Kate Moss' business handlers; offer her sizable profit share; stick her name on it. Voila! Instant success.

Of course, getting Kate Moss to sign onto something is probably more difficult than I make it out to be.

But the latest Kate Moss project, a hair care line, proves that there is a way to sweeten the deal -- you just have to recruit one of her childhood friends to take part in the project. In the case of the new hair care line, Kate will be working with stylist James Brown, who grew up with the supermodel in Croydon, South London.

Success, however, is not guaranteed as the hair care line won't actually enjoy the best part of Kate Moss -- the Kate Moss brand name. But that could be for the best. Kate isn't exactly known for her beautiful hair.

Hair loss is generally considered a dude problem, so it isn't any wonder that women feel all the more embarrassed if they experience thinning hair. The truth is that women shouldn't feel that way -- 25% of women have thinning hair. In fact, the problem is so common that a number of high-end hair product companies have created specially formulated lines to address the problem.

Frederic Fekkai recently launched a revolutionary new line of hair care products to tackle the oh-so-common but oh-so-embarrassing problem of female pattern baldness. The Advanced HairCare More line promotes a healthier, more vital scalp, which in turn improves hair density. Using a patented niacin formula that feeds the scalp, the Advanced HairCare More line has been clinically proven to produce fuller, thicker and more fabulous hair in 90 days or less.

The complete line includes four products: a styling whip, shampoo, conditioner, nighttime follicle booster. The whole set will set you back $100, which seems a little pricey, but then again, compared to other hair loss treatments, it might not be that bad.

Cold weather can do a number on your locks. Between the dry air, the wind, the freezing temperatures and the hats, winter can leave your otherwise lovely tresses looking a little rough. To deal with winter hair in general, or static in particular try Frederic Fekkai's Winter Hair Anti-Static Weightless Mist, which is up for grabs at Beauty.com for $15.

Fortified with organic salt to tame the static, arctic berries to nourish and protect, as well as panthenol to condition and add shine, Frederic Fekkai's light spray can reverse the damage that has been done and spare you from winter woes to come. Weightless and rich in antioxidants, this spray will heal your coiffure without weighing it down with moisturizers. As far as hair treatments go, $15 seems like a reasonable price to pay to keep your locks looking lovely during the winter months.
