 | Ted Gibson Daily Cleanse shampoo and Daily Nourish conditioner, 295.7 mL, $33 each. Ted Gibson is a New York-based hair stylist who works with Angelina Jolie, Claire Danes and Diane Sawyer. “Beauty is individual and timeless,” said the charming Mr. Gibson during a recent chat at Holt Renfrew in Toronto. “It's not about a haircut, it's about what I can do to bring out my client's most beautiful self.” Gibson's daily shampoo and conditioner are a splurge, but smell so fresh and leave my hair so shiny and clean that both items are on my personal gift wish list. Take note, family and friends! Budget buy: TRESemmé Natural Shampoo and Conditioner with Vitamin C & E, 900 mL, $6.49 each, also contain protein keratin and are gentle enough for daily use. |
