Hollywood Finish come in three delicious scents: Capri, Kumquat Sage and Soy & Olive.

John Russo knows a thing or two about beauty. The Los Angeles–based celeb photog has worked with the likes of Cindy Crawford, Kristin Davis, Eva Longoria — and shot Eva LaRue and Melora Hardin for the latest VIVmag covers.

So we were eager to try his new Hollywood Finish trio of luxury shower products: shampoo ($18), conditioner ($18) and body wash ($16). All are available in three scents: Capri, with sea botanicals; Kumquat Sage, with vitamins; and (our favorite) Soy & Olive.

After a few uses of the shampoo and conditioner, we noticed our hair had a nice sheen and some extra body — and we smelled lovely, if we do say so ourselves. Our hair smelled so good, in fact, that when a strand fell in our face during a yoga class, we found ourselves inhaling deeply, like the people in the Febreze commercials. Though we haven’t been followed by errant paparazzi dazzled by our newly luxuriant tresses, a passerby did say, “Hello, cutie.” It must have been the hair.

We think when we’re sporting lovely locks, we have a bit of extra self-confidence. Is there a certain celeb whose Hollywood hair you would like to have?
