(Clockwise) John Masters Organics Leave-In Conditioning Mist, Mason Pearson Comb, John Masters Organics Texturizer, Oribe Dry Spray. (Found at John Masters Organics NYC and Barneys NY)

Hair is the last thing I want to spend my time on when I’ve got a million deadlines due at once and mysteries of earthlings to unlock. For years these all-time favorite mane tamers have been leaving me looking like a well put-together nerd and not a spent geek.

John Masters Organics Green Tea and Calendula Leave-In Conditioning Mist ($24)

This is my must starter. This definitely gets tangles out and prevents snarls on wet hair. If I spray it on dry hair, it leaves a smoother and shinier look, so I can pop out the door and get to researching. When the weather doesn’t cooperate with my hair, this does the trick.

Mason Pearson Detangling Comb ($34)

This goes easy on my long locks when it’s wet. Less breakage and ouchies with this one. My hair is medium textured so this one works for me. Their Rake style can be used for thicker hair textures.

John Masters Organics Hair Bourbon Vanilla & Tangerine Texturizer ($21)

This smells mainly like tangerine, which is refreshing any time of day. A tiny bit on the ends for long hair smooths it out and adds a polished finish. When I had a bob, a smidgen on the ends all over was my best bet. It’s a great save for days when flyaways, dullness, and dryness try to mask The Original $cientist’s $tyle. This is a nice quick fix when I need to dedicate more time getting to lab than on my hair (even when I rock a ponytail).

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($22)

This is my finishing touch and go-to for locks in need of refreshing. A few spritzes at the roots adds some volume and leaves a pleasant scent that is not overwhelming. I keep the purse size handy so I’m ready to roll after a grueling day in lab.

Dressing for the Elements: The Shoes of Summer

Each person is made of elements of nature. These manifest in physical and mental traits like athletic build, robust gut microbiota, and anxiety.

Knowing if you are fine or in need a supplement. A Dosha Dressing style supplement, of course.

Layer Up, Accessorize Down: Books to Match Personal Style

Personal style extends to books. Certain books keep us engaged for reasons that we might not recognize. Reading for leisure or pleasure has diminished more than deodorant use. That decreases cognitive, analytical, and critical thinking skills needed for survival. Importantly, problem solving requires these functions. Here are a list of books that match brain personality and Dosha Dressing fashion to match.

The Met Gala 2026: Fashion is Art for the Body

As the Met Gala approaches, we are reminded that Katy Perry will dress in a ridiculous costume that makes the event a Halloween spectacle. This year’s Fashion is Art theme may play to that more than previous themes. Of course, Dosha Dressing is the epitome of Fashion is Art.

Winter is for Being Extra: Warming Up Anxiety With Fashion and Food

The arctic air and temperature permeate mood as much as it does bones. The most sensitive in the bunch, Vata, feels that 10 times more than anyone else. This dosha is described as “cold”. But, how does that translate in science? Their hyperactive sympathetic nervous system means insomnia and goose bumps (sympathicotonia).

Never being able to warm up hurts more than the freezing cold hitting your face. Circulation and thermoregulation rule over Vata during the coldest season.
