So three years ago, I wrote a blog entry that reviews the research about weather affects our moods and behavior. It’s still a good overview of the research in this area and worth the read. But it’s nice to highlight a few points from that article, as well as other research, that demonstrates how the weather — and especially hot weather, in this case — can impact our mood. Does a heat wave lead to more violence? Do we have more or less energy during high humidity? What about depression and anxiety? Read on for the answers. Heat waves come and go nearly every year in some part of the world. What makes them especially difficult for indigenous po...

Can hair really be better off in the long run by cleansing with a conditioner? And if it does work, will a regular drugstore conditioner produce the same effect? The Left Brain replies: Great question, Nina. First of all, the idea of cleaning your hair with conditioner is not new and was not invented by Chaz. And no, he’s not using any kind of revolutionary technology.

As a young adult, I still struggled with being completely honest with how I felt. There were moments in the past when annoyances would get stuffed down so deep that they would surprise me some time down the line when I was hit with its volcano of emotion. But recently, and in this holiday especially, I’m learning about the importance of being true to myself. That saying what I need is a virtue instead of a character flaw. And that being honest about who I am and what I believe will not be a hindrance to those I love or make those who don’t know me dislike me. It’s amazing what the holiday season can bring out. Maybe it’s all this ample...

Did I mention my thermometer is inside my apartment? “Oh yuck,” you’re probably thinking. “You should get a place with air conditioning.” But you see, my unit has air conditioning. The problem is that, under Virginia law, it can’t be turned on until May 1. My apartment is in an older building (1958) with a centralized HVAC system. As a result, the whole building must either be in heating mode or cooling mode. One of the quirks of this system is that it takes a couple of days for it to be converted from one mode to the other. That physical reality doesn’t jibe well with Virginia la...

But, my little brother managed to spill the entire bottle on my floor. After thinking of buying another bottle, I bought a replacement conditioner for the time being for the rest of the week. I was wondering what it is in Infusium that works so well with my hair? I heard that it may cause your hair to weaken. Is this true? The Right Brain Responds: Infusium 23 has been around for many, many years (although now it’s owned by P&G) and it’s a very nice leave-in formula. What’s in it that makes it work so well?

I know to avoid silicone, and I do, but I was wondering about products with Mineral oil in them. My favorite leave-in treatment contains Mineral oil.  Is a conditioner like VO5 strong enough to cleanse hair when this type product is used? I couldn’t find any real information online about it. Everyone just says not to use Mineral oil at all, but it works great on my hair! My hair has never looked better, but I want to make sure I don’t have any buildup problems down the road. Thanks!

Legal and acceptable. The Left Brain retorts: For those of you who may have missed the discussion, Heidi’s comment appeared in our post on How Beauty Salons Lie to You.

Is it more hype than fact? Right Brain says Wen: The Left Brain previously wrote about Wen Cleansing Conditioners. Essentially concluding that WEN Cleansing Conditioner is a decent product that will clean your hair that isn’t too dirty. Left also concluded that using a store brand may be a better option. In this post, we’ll tell you the main things to look for in a cleansing conditioner. Why clean hair with conditioner? The first thing you might wonder is why would anyone want to clean their hair with conditioner. There are basically three reasons.
