Bumble and bumble's Pret-a-Powder, $12—$27
I fucking hate washing my hair. My natural texture is this frizzy, horrible mix of waves and curls, severely damaged from years of bleach and flat-ironing. I wasn't blessed with naturally great hair, which means that I need to style it, which means that I have to wake up extra early and spend 30 minutes trying to make it look like I didn't just get mauled by one of those Dyson Airblade hand dryers in an airport bathroom. Any excuse I can get to wash and style my hair less is one that I will take. Fast.
For years, I tried to find the perfect dry shampoo. It's hard to nail the perfect mix of a product that legitimately makes your hair look not greasy and doesn't leave that white powdery residue that looks like someone dumped cocaine on your scalp. I went through probably 20-plus (not an exaggeration) dry shampoos until I found the Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder, which I've been using exclusively for almost two years.
It works like this: You just shake the powder onto your hair closer to the root, then you rake it through your hair with your fingers to distribute it around the hair. You don't need much, and the best part is that it literally disappears into your hair. Right now I have highlights, but even when my hair was dyed a dark brown shade, it still disappeared. It doesn't feel sticky or gritty, it just makes your hair feel a pinch thicker than usual (and if you use it for a few days in a row, it can build up a bit and feel even thicker). I actually like the texture of my hair better on the second, third, and fourth day after washing, so I started using the powder on my hair even when it was clean to get that texture.
Before this, I used to wash my hair every other day, and now I can stretch it up to six days if I really need to, which means I use a curling iron less frequently, so my hair is actually in a healthier state. The one thing to keep in mind is that I really use my fingers to work shampoo through my hair when I DO wash it so that I don't get product buildup clogging my scalp. Oh, and BTW, I've had the same bottle for those two years. It lasts FOREVER.
Also, FYI, I still shower even though I'm not washing my hair. Shower caps are a lady's best friend. —Augusta Falletta, deputy style editor

This 17-Year-Old Learned The Hard Way Not To Cry After Getting A Spray Tan
Luckily, she got her tan fixed in time for her prom.
This is Skyler Davis, a 17-year-old high school senior from Ohio.

On Saturday, Skyler's school had its senior prom. She told BuzzFeed News she felt she was too pale for the big dance, so she decided to get her first spray tan.

"Although I have never gotten a spray tan before, I knew it wouldn't hurt to get one for prom," she said.
So, the teen went to Bella Via Day Spa in Toledo on Thursday to get her spray tan done. One of the spa's spray tan technicians, Carrie Lavigne, sprayed her up for the big day.
"When she left everything was good," Lavigne told BuzzFeed News.
Skyler said she was pleased with the result.
"I was extremely happy with how it turned out," she said. "I was no longer pale!"
But about 10 minutes after she left, Skyler and her boyfriend, Chris Lepre, had a disagreement. The teen said she is a little sensitive, and started to cry. The result was disastrous.

Louis C.K. Questions Value Of Being On Our Phones All The Time
We're living in humankind's first era of constant connectivity. At this point, our phones are so smart and our connection speeds so fast that the deep, rich world of the internet is always at our fingertips. Our phones are now essentially appendages, tied to our hands whether we’re waiting for the bus, on line at the grocery store, or together with loved ones.
But phones also have a tendency to distract from — and sometimes supplant — human interaction. Comedian Louis C.K. has always been a keen observer of this phenomenon, and seems to find ways to thoughtfully address it every time he visits Conan O'Brien's TBS show.
In September 2013, C.K. explained that he wouldn't get his daughters smartphones because he believed they prevented kids from building empathy. And Thursday, he told O'Brien he's taking a break from the internet because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel. "I don’t like this thing," he said. "I stare into this thing, and it makes me feel upset."
(See the video above for C.K.'s Thursday interview)
Of course, C.K. is in a different position than non-celebrities. He doesn't have to Google for his job or to get basic things done. But his message on what responding to a notification mid-conversation feels like to the person you're speaking with seems pretty universal. "She dies inside every time I do this," he said, of his daughter. "It’s a horrible abandonment."

How Patti LuPone Accidentally Became A TV Horror Star
Dr. Seward (Patti LuPone) comforts Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) on Penny Dreadful.

Patti LuPone is a two-time Tony Award winner who has become a veritable theater icon thanks to memorable performances in Evita, Anything Goes, Sweeney Todd, and Gypsy, among others. But there are still jobs that feel out of reach.
“My ultimate job, where I can end my career, is a hit situation comedy. And then I can pack it in,” LuPone declared, laughing.
A sitcom seems particularly unattainable for the actor, who has railed against being typecast. “People think I’m this tough woman,” LuPone said inside an office near the rehearsal space for War Paint, the new musical she’ll star in at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in June. “The comedic side has been completely neglected, but that’s how I started. My first Tony nomination [for The Robber Bridegroom] was a slapstick comedy! So I’m wondering when it’s gonna come back.”

ABC
And LuPone’s latest role is on a show more likely to make audiences cringe than laugh. She has joined the cast of Showtime’s horror series Penny Dreadful in its third season. It’s her first regular role on a TV series in more than 20 years, the last being her four seasons on ABC’s Life Goes On, which ended in 1993.
Penny Dreadful, which follows classic characters from Gothic horror, including Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), couldn’t be further from the network drama about Corky (Chris Burke), a young man with Down syndrome, and his family. LuPone plays Dr. Seward, an alienist treating the troubled Vanessa Ives (Eva Green), who has battled for her soul and her sanity throughout the series. Dr. Seward’s therapeutic approach may not be the answer to Vanessa’s demonic possession — but at this point, Vanessa is willing to try anything.
This is actually LuPone’s second stint on Penny Dreadful. In Season 2, she had a brief but memorable role as Joan Clayton, the Cut-Wife, a good witch who took Vanessa under her wing, but was killed in the same episode.
Meryl Streep once lamented being offered a series of witch roles after turning 40. When asked if that was something LuPone considered when she decided to play the Cut-Wife — an unconventional witch character but a witch nonetheless — she answered with a shrug. “When someone offers me a part, I don't go, ‘I'm not playing that because of a stereotype,’” she said. “I will not make it a stereotype if I get the part.”
With a smirk, she added, “I understand what she's saying about witches, but had they offered me the Witch in Into the Woods, I don't think I would have had a problem.”

It would be easy to assume that someone with LuPone’s extensive credits and acclaim has her choice of roles, but she remains grounded about her prospects. Anyone who has been in the business as long as she has knows that there are few guarantees for an actor. For LuPone, that means accepting the parts as they come.
“I had a phenomenal experience with Eva, with [Penny Dreadful creator] John [Logan], with the director, Brian Kirk, with the country, and wished that my involvement would have continued,” LuPone said of shooting Season 2 in Ireland. But, “having been burned at the stake, I thought, That’s the end of that.”
Still, she remained in touch with Logan, discussing the final cut of the episode and the series as a whole. Although LuPone said she’s usually reluctant to offer too much input, she had become a fan of Penny Dreadful and had some thoughts about the character of Vanessa from the viewpoint of an audience member.
“What I thought Vanessa needed and what I said was, ‘She needs an ally,’” LuPone recalled. “I said, ‘She’s exhausted.’ I said — this is literally what I said — ‘The women want to kill her and the men want to fuck her.’ I said, ‘The actress and the character are exhausted.’”
Inspired by LuPone’s suggestion, Logan went on to create the character of Dr. Seward, whom Vanessa first visits in the Season 3 premiere, which aired on May 1. In order to explain Dr. Seward’s resemblance to the Cut-Wife, the premiere also established that the alienist is a descendant of the Clayton family.
LuPone didn’t expect Logan to actually write a character based on her suggestion — and she certainly didn’t think she’d be playing the part. When she received an email with the offer, she said she “burst into tears.”

There was never a question that LuPone would accept a role Logan had written with her in mind. Prior to Penny Dreadful, she was a fan of Logan’s work in the theater. His plays include Peter and Alice, I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers, and Red, which earned six Tony Awards, including Best Play.
But while she was thrilled to work with Logan, LuPone admitted that horror is not a genre she typically gravitates toward. “I can’t stand blood and guts,” she said, which seems to contradict her recent work, including her role as a sadistic religious zealot on American Horror Story: Coven. For LuPone, however, in both cases her interest in the parts was due to the writers involved.

“Ryan Murphy offered me the job. John Logan [offered me the job],” she said. “I don’t think you turn those people down.”
It’s not that LuPone will do anything — she speaks passionately about the work she has taken on — but she’s honest about the realities of being an actor. “I always consider myself lucky that I've been offered a part, as opposed to chasing for it or being rejected,” she said.
Even theater, which has long been LuPone’s home, has its risks. In War Paint, which focuses on the rivalry between two cosmetics company entrepreneurs, she’ll star as Helena Rubinstein alongside fellow two-time Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole as Elizabeth Arden. Despite the talent involved, a Broadway transfer isn’t inevitable: The musical’s future depends on how the Chicago run, which concludes Aug. 14, is received.
For the time being, LuPone is looking forward to returning to the familiar discipline of theater. And, perhaps most importantly, the show will keep her busy as she waits to find out what’s next.
“I do love what I'm doing. And I'm very fortunate that I'm doing many different things, finally, after all of those years preparing for that, it's paying off,” LuPone said. “Knock on wood, I don't have any downtime.”
Penny Dreadful airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
