This season, haircare leader Rusk hones the power of marine minerals and protein-rich keratin to create Deepshine Keratin Care Collection, a line of products formulated to treat chemical and heat-damaged, fragile tresses. The brilliant collection, which includes a shampoo, conditioner and treatment, not only nourishes lackluster locks, it also provides lasting protection during thermal styling.

There's offensive (visible panty lines), and then there's really offensive (blackface). For the record, we're convinced Kohl's 'Ghetto Fab' Halloween wig definitely falls in the second category! Available in blonde and brunette, the big, curly wig was sold as part of Kohl's seasonal costume collection. But as soon as the wig hit their website, customers began leaving angry complaints on the department store's Facebook page, questioning the store's motives for carrying an item labeled "ghetto fab" -- and displaying it on a White model, no less!
