According to the calendar, there are still many weeks until Summer. Your heart and closet may be ready—but is your hair?

The Most Memorable Movie Hair Styles of All Time

One of our favorite things to do on a chilly day is stay in, watch a movie, and get inspired by the mane characters. That's right: Mane! Some of our favorite period dramas, rom-coms, even epic sci-fi flicks have all been made that much more enjoyable by the thoroughly amazing hair stylists (or in a few cases, animators!) behind the scenes. And with fantasy movies like Oz the Great and Powerful out now, and word that Carrie Fisher will reprise her role as Princess "Cinnamon Bun Hair" Leia in the next Star Wars flick, we were inspired to take a look back at some memorable movie hair.

Fix a Year's Worth of Hair Damage in One Day With L'Oreal Paris' Damage-Erasing Balm

A model's hair really takes a beating during fashion month--at one show she'll get her hair braided into a rosette, then at the next show a blow dryer on full blast for a super sleek look, until the last show of the day when a curling iron is used to create a tight crimp, recalling the 90s. Repeat every day for seven days and it’s no surprise that by the end, a model’s hair is as tired as she is. While your hair may not take quite the same beating, we're willing to bet it could use a perk-up.

The 5 Biggest Hair Trends from the 2013 Awards Season

Perhaps in an antidote to the more outlandish “look at me” aesthetic that has permeated fashion runways the past few seasons (see: dip dyed hair, ombré, complicated braiding and topknots), celeb hair this past awards season was largely unaffected and unfussy, with stars sticking to simple hairstyles and less ornamentation. A return to ease only means that impeccable styling, the right hair care, and a good haircut are all the more important.

L'Oreal Paris' New Hair Treatments Will Help You Combat Dry Winter Hair

Whether your idea of “extreme” winter weather is a chilly 53 degrees in Los Angeles or a blistering 14 degrees in New York, the cold air, wind, and dry indoor heat can make moisture disappear from your hair faster than Grace Coddington can say, “I love cats.” And less moisture in your hair means less of a lot of other things, including shine, smooth ends, and softness. If you're also a heat styling junkie, your poor parched locks will definitely need some love this season. To help you fight the battle against dry hair, L’Oreal Paris created the Power Moisture line, the first clinically tested hair treatment line that's formulated with hyaluronic acid, that magical moisture ingredient that's found in many skin care products.

Keeping Yourself in the Red: How to Maintain 2013’s Hottest Hair Colors

You may have heard that red is one of the hottest hair colors for 2013. But it’s not easy to maintain--as a matter of fact, it's one of the hardest hair colors to preserve. And the reason has to do with molecules: We’re not going to get all Bill Nye the Science Guy on you, but in layman’s terms, the red hair color molecule is larger and heavier than any other color, making it harder to effectively penetrate a hair shaft (and thus, dye your hair). The secret to keeping yourself in the red, brown, blonde, rainbow, or any other hair color this season is to arm yourself with the proper tools, like L’Oreal Paris’s Color Vibrancy line.

The recent runways--spring, couture, and now fall--have provided us with a ton of inspiration, particularly in the fantasy hair style department. They're so..dare we say...romantic!
