Q: Where can I buy WOW Raise the Root volumizing spray in the travel size? I have thin hair and want to try a smaller size to see if it works. Thank you. — Debbie C., email
A: Color WOW Mini Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray is formulated with heat protection for all hair types. The Mini comes in a 1.7-ounce spray and sells for $12 at Sephora, 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, 678-731-9950.
Q: I have my father’s 1950s stereo console that contains a Telefunken turntable integrated into the unit. We have been unable to find the cartridges that hold needles in the arm unit. Additionally, the belt surely needs adjusting after all this time. It turns, but not smoothly. The piece is large, so someone coming to our home would be ideal. Thank you. — Sherry McCarver, email
A: Audio Elements Tech Shop, 669 Antone St., Atlanta, 404-351-1685, specializes in commercial audio gear and residential equipment, from antique to contemporary, including Telefunken. The most cost-effective method to repair the stereo is to take your Telefunken to the AE shop. However, if that’s not possible, a technician can come to your home. During the initial visit, the tech would go over your unit and build a parts list. Installing the parts would require a second visit.
