(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.

One Dress, Three Blues: Smooth Sailing into Summer Dosha Dressing

Summer exhales effortless elegance, and no look embodies that like a timeless white dress. In the heat of these sun-drenched months, a crisp or flowing dress isn’t just an outfit. It is an invitation to graceful simplicity. The gentle allure of a white dress recalls a refined beauty. This Summer, Dosha Dressing is punctuating the white dress perfectly with a dash of blue. Imagine a rich ocean blue echoing the intensity of Pitta’s deep waters, or a delicate sky blue that speaks to Vata’s free-spirited wanderlust. Specifically, Summer blues work to prevent dosha-specific inflammation. Pitta experiences dermatitis, Vata IBS, and Kapha an increase in edema.

The Blue Skies of Dosha Dressing: Your Summer Style Prescription

Summer is not just a season- it’s a state of mind. But before you surrender to the tyranny of sweat and frizz, consider that Dosha Dressing is borne out of an ancient remedy that has been quietly dictating balance for centuries: Ayurveda. Your leading dosha- Vata, Pitta, or Kapha- shapes how you experience the world, including the way your body reacts to Summer’s merciless heat. Translation? Dosha Dressing isn’t just stylish- it’s survival. And this season, we are feeling shades of blue- from ultimately cooling and calming to vividly ardent. This is the color to beat the heat while elevating moods from East to West.

Step Into Transformation: The Definitive Shoe Edit for Spring/Summer

Beyond fashion, the feet hold potent Ayurvedic marma points- gateways to circulation, balance, and vitality. Whether stimulating Kshipra (big toe) for movement, Talahridaya (sole center) for grounding, or Gulpha (ankle) for agility, shoes are not merely chosen- they are prescribed.

The Met Gala: According to Fashionable Science

Spring love is arriving warm in silk, cashmere and fluff. Red with a splash of vanilla and snuggle of gray bring tridoshic energy to warmer temperatures and extended sunshine.

Marc Jacobs’ Trilogy: Fear In Three Acts

The ceaseless response to fear of rejection, criticism and uncertainty forms a prolonged rhythm without inserting a resolution check-point. Creative and profitable expectations are akin to nerves propagating electrical messages in continuous motion when their receptor connection signals them to keep producing. This pressure can crash the nervous system and personal harmony. Unless, one does as Marc Jacobs: recognize how to work the positive and the negative. The last three collections are evidence that Jacobs clearly appreciates the need for fear- emotionally and cognitively.

Ringing In 2025 In Lab Style: The Dosha Way

Popping non-EtOH bubbles and shining bright. No doubt, dressing up adds cheeriness. Not only for the person who dresses up, but also for the people around us. A lot of people find it inspiring. Infectious, even. Is a Fashionable $cience droplet not preferable to an influenza infection? This NYE, we take monochromatic looks out for a night on the town. Or maybe don our shiniest attire for a glitzy night in marathoning with Jacques Tati. After all, personal energy, or doshic constitution, stimulates feelings of luxury.

Dosha Dressing Fall/Winter: Cognitively Enclothed to De-Inflame

Seasons change, moods transform, so let us revamp our outfits to reflect our seasonal awareness. Pitta needs to cool down her mind and body after a sultry Summer. Vata and Kapha get to embrace these cooler seasons. Head-to-toe beige, blue and grey speak volumes about personal energetics taking over a fresh time of year.
