The latest in hair

I asked my go-to hair gal extraordinaire Rachel from Beauty Brands what the top trends are right now in the hair world. She came back with these three trends.

1. Bobs are really in right now. And what a perfect season to go in for a chop. Celebrities that had great bobs this year are Katie Holmes and Brooklyn Decker. There seem to be a lot of bobs in hollywood with bangs, asymmetrical lengths and chunky layers. It is very tempting!
2. Another trend right now is ombré coloring. It is when you do not color the roots, but instead only color the bottom or underneath layers. Ellen has done this a few times and loves it. It really helps to make your color last in between salon visits. On the runways this spring some of the models were even doing reverse ombré with the top really light and the bottom dark. Sarah Jessica Parker has always been my hair crush and has sported ombré for years. I think I might try this one at my next appointment.
3. And last are waves and loose curls, which are my personal favorite. I wear this style almost daily. I use a one and a half inch, big barrel curling iron to curl sections into ringlets and at the end brush them out with my fingers. I usually do not go all the way to the ends when curling so it doesn’t look too much like prom hair and has a more natural look. By the middle of the day, my curls have usually fallen a little more so my hair has more of a wavy look than curl. 

Whats your favorite hair style right now?

Spring to Summer Hair

I can slowly feel it. The air is changing and now so is my hair. I can style it to look perfect inside, but I am exactly like the many commercials, as soon as I step outside – things change. Luckily, there are some great products out there to help. Here are a few of my favorites and how I use them.

P.S. I know Keratin is HUGE right now. I am going to ask my trusted hair expert on some advice on these products and will report back!

Au revoir,

Its a 10 Miracle Leave in Product I add this in when I am combing my hair right after the shower. This product helps to maintain that “just styled” texture and look all day long. Its a must when traveling, because it works in all environments.

Moroccan Oil I add this product after I have styled my hair, although my hair stylist also adds it before she blow drys my hair. I think it depends on your hair type, but I like to add it to the ends to add moisture and tame fly aways.  Warning – a little goes a long way!

blow pro – ready set blow I know I have raved about this product before, but its a new one for me, so I am still in my honeymoon phase. It protects hair from blow drying and the environment, and on top of that adds volume. I would use this or It’s a 10, but not both at the same time.

Hair Tie package from Mane Message Another repeat, but with summer coming up, I know I am not alone in always having a hair tie handy. These double as a bracelet and with fun colors you can match to every outfit. I just wish I could have invented these! They are wonderful – dont break your hair, are light so sometimes I forget I have it in and last a long time.
