Times’ Best-seller Rory Freedman Plugs Hair Fix in VegNews, March 2008:
“For those of us whose hair could use some cruelty-free help looking clean whilst staying dirty, the fix is in. Hair Fix, that is. This secret weapon claims to be "not your Grandma's dry shampoo" on its label, though, you know, if you happen to have a really hip Granny she might like the white-colored version. Oh yes, unlike the powder that is generally used for babies' butts, Hair Fix comes in more than one shade—brown, black, red, and white to be exact. All four colors are comprised of completely vegan ingredients, and are also made of mostly organic ingredients. Recyclable packaging? Check. What about effectiveness, we bet you are asking yourselves. Well, the inside scoop is that when VN columnist Rory Freedman stopped by our offices in January for lunch during her whirlwind book tour, she freshened up Hair Fix before a booksigning and said that she had never before found a hair powder that actually worked for her. If it's good enough for Ms. I-Have-To-Go-Sign-My-Bestseller, it's good enough for us! You can only find Hair Fix online, so be sure and check out their website. Oh, and as for the scent issue, Hair Fix's mix of organic mint, rosemary, lavender, and tea tree essential oils will keep both ladies and gents alike from smelling anything like baby butts. “

Carefair.com, a new online beauty community, has the following tips:
- Avoid or cut down on caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea and soda. They are too dehydrating. Drink lots of water instead, or snack on fruits with a high water content such as berries, oranges and mango slices before or during your flight.
- Moisturize before flying.
- Look for powder alternatives to your shampoo and conditioner as well as your perfume. Try a dry, powder-based shampoo (i.e., Hair Fix or Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder) or perfume powders (i.e., Victoria `s Secret Heavenly Silkening Body Powder or Jessica Simpson`s Dessert Powdered Sugar Deliciously Kissable Body Shimmer). Also, consider bringing baby powder to stay feeling fresh.
- If you have any prescription acne medicine or skin creams, be sure you bring them in a properly labeled package.
- Consider using long-wearing cosmetics.

It`s one thing to chuck $2 toothpaste, and it`s quite another to throw out $25 shampoo or $75 perfume. To get around the new restrictions on carrying on cosmetics, a new online beauty site, Carefair.com, advises beauty-conscious customers to use dry powder-based shampoo (i.e. Hair Fix or Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder) and perfume powders (i.e. Victoria`s Secret Heavenly Silkening Body Powder or Jessica Simpson`s Powdered Sugar Deliciously Kissable Body Shimmer).
While some travelers find the new regulations a small price to pay for airport security, others find the new rules confounding.
Mary Beth Johnson, a confirmed carry-on traveler from Mt. Lebanon , thought she was following the new policy when she checked a bag with hair spray, mascara and creams on her flight home from Arizona to Pittsburgh yesterday.
But she got stopped at the security gate with lip gloss in her carry-on bag -- $29, hardly used Tickle Pink Chanel lip gloss, at that. Not something she wanted to toss into the trash. So she checked her carry-on bag.
"Is lip gloss a weapon of mass destruction?" she exclaimed. "It`s a sad world we live in."
