(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.

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).

Going to Extremes: All About Accessorizing for Those Who Can Never Get Warm

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.

Plaid, Power, And A Little Sweat: Wear What Wear For Sleepy Ladies

A week for Kapha looks like doing little things to get out of big routines. She likes the same old, old same. We’re not letting that happen. That’s brain and body rot.

Cool, Structured, And Refined: Wear What Where With The Executive Brain

San Francisco is the ideal city to both remain a leader and tap a softer persona. Pittas, or Type-A executives and leaders, need to loosen concrete minds, leap over fast heart rates with bigger hearts, and use power red when it really matters.

Corduroy, Caffeine, And A Little Chaos: A Week In The Life Of A Free Spirit

There is no better personality that benefits from a weekly line-up than Type-B. An easygoing and curious nature distracts from realizing ideations. Unfinished business becomes restlessness, anxiety and burnout.

Style That Knows You: The Rise of Dosha Dressing

In the endless carousel of trends, something far more interesting is happening in your closet. This is Dosha Dressing: a way of getting dressed that is more refined, more intimate, and infinitely more socially literate than fashion ever gave us credit for.

Fall is an atmosphere. Asking us to reconsider, reframe and regenerate. We have chosen regeneration in its most deliberate form. This issue explores that process through Dosha Dressing, created by Aarti Kuver, PhD.
