Linda Howard Wears HairZing

Linda Howard, wife of Emmy Winner Ken Howard, loves her HairZings and we love their work!

I was mesmerized by the Grey Gardens production on HBO, and if you haven't seen it--don't walk RUN to get a copy. I had a great feeling he might win when I first met him, and I am glad he did. Most touching was seeing how clearly he loves his wife Linda, and she loves him. They have the easy flow of a couple who have been together for 30 plus years I believe.


Linda has fine, thin hair like I do and was so delighted with how HairZing Double Combs felt in her hair that they stayed in our booth for much longer than they were supposed to. I know she'll be wearing Zing all over Hollywood from now on. Linda and I were doing hairstyles and chatting about the Emmy's, the food she needs to pack for the 8 hour ordeal, and why the Emmy's insist on being held in 400 degree temperatures every year. Ken was saying that Hollywood has no idea of the talent both Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange have (I agree). I actually did not want them to leave. Great people, wonderful love, incredible talent.

New Zingers - The Story Behind the Comfort

There is a different mood in my heart these days. I am cleaning closets like mad, deleting old files, recycling and giving away everything that no longer serves me. I’m choosing a more streamlined existence, without all the clutter of the past. I wear simple clothes rather than the busy patterns and ruffles that were so hot a short while ago. I am practicing cooking skills I thought were dead….and enjoying the process of working with fresh, natural ingredients that don’t come in a box or have a freezer life of 150 years.

I’m not alone. Everyone at HairZing seems to be moving in a similar direction, and we noticed the same trend with customers. Instead of getting requests for more sparkle and glitz on our HairZings, calls have been increasing for simple “non-blingy” designs. Definitely a sign of the times we are living in. We took that inspiration and poured it into our new line of casual “Zingers”. Our goal was to make your hair feel as comfy as your feet do when you sink them into warm, soft socks…..pure comfort.

For complete transparency, I must admit that Zingers are not technically “brand new”. We took an original design I created a few years ago and reinterpreted it with new comb molds that contour to your head made of (gasp!) recyclable plastic. Our stretch bands are specially designed and woven just for us. They stretch and hug your head like a dream. We launched the “Double Comb Revolution” as a whole new hair healthy way to hold and style your hair. Hope you enjoy! Please send me your comments and feedback—I’d love to know what you think.
