Beauty Find: Emmett Cooper

SMOOTH Straightening Balm from Emmett Cooper
When you love your work, it shows. According to Emmett Cooper’s website, he “loves cutting hair today as much as he did 30 years ago when, as a teenager, he started cutting his own hair as well as that of his friends and their mothers.” Cooper’s hair care products are reportedly a fave of Cate Blanchett, Drew Barrymore, Ashley Judd and other stars. “People are going wild for [the Emmett Cooper Masque] in L.A. It continues to moisturize the hair for days after it is blown dry,” reports newyorkmetro.com. And Cooper’s Moisturizing Shampoo is gentle enough for everyday use. The Lip Cure soothed my pucker when worn alone and worked well as base for my lip liner. Plus, the Straightening Balm did a fine job on my tightly coiled hair with the aid of a blow drier. But I’m a tad confounded by one ingredient: garlic. You read that right. The Straightening Balm contains garlic as well as rosemary, watercress and a host of others. I’m not complaining; it works after all (and it smells lovely). But a couple ingredients more and I could make a sandwich is all I’m sayin’.
