Better Hair
care Package
Talk therapy can resolve life's big issues. For the smaller ones -- like how to choose the right mix of hair-care products -- there are Bumble and Bumble's new regimens: Damage Therapy, Dehydration Therapy, Density Therapy, and Scalp Rebalancing Therapy. Each consists of a shampoo, a conditioner, and a leave-in treatment (two lines also have a mask) formulated to complement one another. "The wrong product combination can cause buildup," says cosmetics chemist Jim Hammer. "These have a synergistic effect. The ingredients in one will enhance the ingredients in another." Just show us the couch -- or rather, the shower. Bottom Line: No more morning panic attacks. These four new lines give clarity to hair care. -- PATRICIA ALFONSO

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE TOOTHPASTE BILLED itself as "vanilla mint," but the stuff tasted more like chalk and made me pine for the crisp, medicine-y Colgate Total I'd been using forever. Truth is, cleansers, sunscreens, and makeup labeled "Pure, Natural, and Organic" have been associated with the
