Hollywood hairdresser tests hair spray on Angelina Jolie, not animals!

Here's a novel twist: Hollywood hairdresser David Babaii tests his new hair care products on celebrities, not animals.

During the development phase of  his new natural hair care products, David Babaii for WildAid, the hairdresser tested shampoos, conditioners, sprays and thickeners on his famous clients, including Kate Hudson (who partnered with him on the line), Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie. "I tested them on everyone in the past few years, I just didn't tell them," he 'fessed on the phone today.

Babaii actually used the WildAid Beach Spray to make Angie's hair look thick and luxurious on last month's Vanity Fair cover. And he tested so many early-stage testing shampoos, conditioners and lifting sprays on his partner, Kate Hudson, that her hair broke off and, at one point, turned green.

"I was always testing on Kate before an awards show or a big premiere," David recalls. "She would say, 'What are you doing now? Remember when she hacked off her own bangs? That's because they were falling off," David says. He was on his way to cut them for her, got stuck in traffic, and when he got there, she'd done it herself. "Not a bad job either," he laughs. "She even cuts [her son] Ryder's hair sometimes."

It was Angelina who introduced David to the WildAid organization three years ago. "Kate and I would have done the product line together anyway, but it was Angelina who told me about WildAid and their good works."

"She introduced me to WildAid and talked about the animals she sponsored and her support for them," Babaii said today. "She's such a lovely lady and human being. She's the whole package. I'm so happy for her that the twins will be born soon." Will he go over to France to see them? "I sure hope so!"

In April, David Babaii and Kate Hudson officially launched David Babaii for WildAid, which donates a percentage of the proceeds to Angelina's pet animal charity. The products are packaged in recycled containers, were not tested on animals, (they used humans and computers), are made of natural ingredients and are free from sulfates, parabens and animal products.

Don't worry. The celebrity tests are over. And the line also got the stamp of approval from PETA, making it the first-ever haircare system endorsed by the organization.  The ad campaign for the line was shot in a week-long trip to Africa among the wildlife.

Kate and David make their debut on Home Shopping Network tomorrow, July 3, at 8 a.m., 2 p.m, and 8 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.  "It’s a first for Home Shopping Network,"  David says. "And a first for Kate, who will be on the phone talking to screened callers. I just know she's gonna give me a hard time."

You can also catch Kate and David on July 4, 9 a.m, and 6 p.m. Viewers can watch each segment live online at HSN.com.
