Good Morning Angel(s)

In case you’ve haven’t quite gotten your fill of celebrity death news in the past two weeks, the PW Style blog has one more tribute to golden gal Farrah Fawcett .

The iconic actress may have been known best for her appearance on the first season Charlie’s Angels, but what really cemented her place in every teenage boy in America’s heart was her undeniable California-girl sex appeal. Golden skin, genuinely sweet smile and, most importantly, that big, beautiful mass of beachy waves.

A halo of pure ring-spun gold, enveloping-nay enlightening-the rest of the pin up beauty. Who doesn’t, to this day still, ache for the kind of hair that defies all weather, remaining silky, shiny, and big on the most humid of days? Who doesn’t want hair that has every man within a 20-foot radius stopped in their tracks amidst such a heavenly glow? The ’80s teased-hair heyday may be over, but there are plenty of tactful ways of channeling Fawcett’s touchable tendrils without crossing over to dreaded Cher territory.

Big, a concoction brought to you by the always fragrant Walnut Street beauty boutique Lush , is essentially, Farrah in a bottle. I’ve long been a fan of the all natural shampoo, having had far too many shower sessions involving hard Philly water and too much scrubbing.

The salty shampoo manages to somehow clean and sheen even the thickest of hair. Although a bit off-putting at first glance-the large chunks of sea salt in a lemony broth don’t exactly inspire any Herbal Essence showergasms-after a quick rinse through my tresses I’ve suddenly got bubbles tumbling down my back. Follow up with frizz-fighting conditioner and you’ve got a match made in heaven. Post-shower locks aren’t just lustrous, they’re damn near boisterous.

And a little goes along way, which means that $20 bill I parted with will last me through an Indian summer and beyond. Bonus: lemon+summer sun=lots of natural golden highlights. Farrah who?

Now, if only we had a Charlie to wake up to.
