Rashida Jones Shares Her Biggest Hair Disaster

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:05:07 PDT

It's hard to imagine Rashida Jones having anything other than fabulous hair, but such is not the case. "I had a really gnarly platinum blond, razor cut in college," she says. "I cried for two weeks after I got it." These days, however, Rashida sets trends instead of following them, sporting a softly bobbed look and blunt bangs. And she's a low-maintenance beauty, too: the Dove spokesmodel says she applies the brand's Nourishing Oil Serum to wet hair before blow-drying on the lowest, coolest setting for smooth, shiny results.

Speaking of misbehaved hair, Dove has teamed up with Rashida for its Make Friends With Your Hair contest, inviting entrants to explain how their strands have minds of their own. The winner gets a hair makeover by Dove celebrity stylist Mark Townsend (the guy responsible for Jennifer Lawrence's Oscars blow-out).

Bridal Beauty Details From Celebrity Wedding Planner Mindy Weiss and Dove Deodorant

Sponsor — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:45:00 PDT

As one of the most sought-after wedding planners in the business, Mindy Weiss has seen the good, the bad, and the unfortunate when it comes to bridal beauty. Working with more than 60 bridal clients a year, Mindy has teamed up with Dove Deodorant to share her bridal beauty wisdom to help brides feel wedding-day-ready.

1. Test-run early. Select beauty products four to six months prior to the wedding day and do not switch at the last minute. Yes, that new night cream is tempting, but risking skin irritation will not be worth it in the end.

2. Don’t overlook underarms. With every shave, you reduce underarm skin by 20 percent! Dove Ultimate Beauty Care is the only anti-perspirant/deodorant that contains a tri-moisturizing system that not only soothes shaving irritation and helps replenish delicate underarm skin, but also alleviates white marks while delivering 24-hour odor and wetness protection.
