Fashion Week hair how-to: messy bun

This hair style is straight from the runway of Behnaz Sarafpour. The hair was done by Bumble and bumble stylist Laurent Philippon. They went for a subtle 60s inspiration that was textured but very romantic. Very big for spring!1] Start by spraying hair all over with Prep then Surf Spray.
2] Blow dry hair using your hands to give hair more texture.
3] Spray hair with Spray de Mode (and more surf spray if needed)
4] Quickly twist up the back for an unfussy, spontaneous style and secure with pins.
4] Pull hair up at the crown for a little bit of volume. Pull some pieces out around your face. Finish with Spray de Mode. Pin It

Fashion Week hair how-to: Messy Chignon

Fashion Week is in full force and we have been loving the looks coming down the runway. But of course we love the hair even more! Today we wanted to share a hair how-to straight off the runway from designer Lindsey Thornburg. The hair is by Bumble and bumble stylist Sabrina Michals. She went for a clean updo with a sexy flamenco feel, to show off the low backs of the dresses. 1] Spray Prep all over hair followed Thickening Hairspray and Holding Spray.
2] Creat a deep side part and blow dry straight using the Bumble Classic Flat Hairbrush.
3] Secure the hair in a low, messy chignon on the side with pins.
4] Finish with Bb. Does It All. Pin It

Grammy Awards Hair

I love award season, like I've said before, I love seeing upcoming trends and all the beautiful hair! Gold was a huge force on the red carpet from dresses to shoes, toenails and even hair. Blondes are shifting from platinum-ashy to more warm-golden blondes.
Red hair keeps popping up more and more frequently. Love Florence Welchs' orange tone!


Dark hair was all over the red carpet. Apparantally they all got the memo to wear their hair down and wavy, love the center part.

The last big trend I saw was long, straight, exaggerated hair extensions.

BANGS

Bangs are back in full force! There are so many ways to try out this trend so don't be afraid to dive in! If blunt, straight across bangs are too much of a commitment for you try some whispy side fringe. I've also been hearing a lot about clip in bangs, it would be fun to give them a try for the day!

MAC Wonder Woman

I got a text from my sister this morning telling me to look at the MAC website. I was elated when Wonder Woman sprang upon the screen!
DC Comics' most iconic heroine of all time has teamed up with MAC makeup for a collection inspired by Wonder Woman's blue, red and gold bustier leotard, her cunning super power-meets-glamazon charms, and a strong punch of her girl power. MAC's Spring Colour 2011 is the feminine force that saves the day! No nemesis can match her super-sized Mineralize Skinfinish, Eye Shadows, Lipsticks and Powder Blush for this transformation!
Knowing how quickly MAC's limited-edition collections sell out I hurried and scooped up the Mighty Aphrodite Blush, Amazon Princess blush and Emancipation Lipglass. I'll be eagerly waiting at the mailbox until then!

Bb. Styling Creme

Is it a gel? Is it a mousse? No-but it works like both.
Love it for its versatility and simple strength - slick back, add body, lift roots or define curl. The more you use, the more it holds - wet or dry. Styling Creme is a setting medium that works well for many hair types, holding fairly firmly and giving extra texture. People with curly hair love it for definition; it's great for thick, heavy hair when blow-drying, and for combing through short styles that dry naturally. Convinced by Bb. Stylist Vaughn Acord, Bruce Springsteen made the switch from gel to Styling Creme! Pin It
