]]> All eyes were on pop icon Madonna at the Super Bowl XLVI Half Time Show, but if you were like, me, you were envying her curls. Thanks to her hairstylist Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte, who journeyed to Indianapolis to create the Cleopatra-inspired look.

“Madonna’s look demanded something fit for a Queen,” says her hair stylist,Wella Professionals Celebrity Ambassador Andy LeCompte. “We tried a couple variations in rehearsals with texture and size of waves. We played with the tightness and looseness of the curls, and also the amount of volume to see what would work best. We even discussed bangs!”

Description: Description: http://media3.onsugar.com/files/2012/02/05/0/192/1922398/madonna.xxxlarge/i/Madonna-Super-Bowl-Halftime-Show-Pictures.jpg

Andy provided the following step-by-step for us on how you can recreate this look at home:

  1. Wash hair with Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner to maximize volume and shine
  2. Blow dry the hair completely smooth with a ceramic brush
  3. Spray hair evenly with light application of Wella Professionals Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray and separate hair into small, 2” sections and use a medium barrel curling iron to create bouncy curls
  4. Lift the root area with a rattail comb and aerate the hair shaft with fingers to soften the look
  5. Spritz the hair with Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray for an allover radiant glow
  6. Set with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray to control fly-aways, and give hair unbeatable holding power

]]> We know the Chinese New Year already happened, (it went from late January to early February), but we had to share this really cool look from Pure Ice to commemorate the occasion.

According to the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Dragon is the 5th sign of the Chinese zodiac and it is regarded as an auspicious symbol which stands for power, good luck, success, and happiness. (yeah!)

Since ancient times, the Chinese New Year was considered as the time to honor ancestors and heavenly deities. In addition, it was the time to organize family gatherings and grand feasts.

There is a legend associated with the celebration of New Year in China. There was a monster named Nian who used to harass the villagers by eating their crops, cattle and taking away their kids. The villagers had no other option but to place food at the entrance to their homes so that the monster would eat it and go away without harming them.

One day, the villagers realized that the monster was scared of red color. So, they adorned their doors and windows with red paper cutouts and spring scrolls. The villagers also burst crackers to frighten the monster. Since then, Nian never came again to the village. Hongjun Laozu, a Taoist monk, was the one who captured the beast later on. Since then, the Chinese have been celebrating the capture of Nian on their New Year’s Day.

Chinese New Year is celebrated with fireworks, lion dancing, dragon dancing and cultural performances on the street. Families organize reunion dinners on New Year’s Eve and make special preparations like spring rolls and Chinese dumplings.

Here? Well, we’ll just celebrate with a super cool new look for nails….

Celebrate with Pure Ice Crackle Duo Gold & Red (ShowStopper).

]]> Even though Redken Creative Consultant Guido is currently prepping for another month of trend-setting runway hairstyles in New York, Milan, and Paris for the Fall/Winter 2012 season, Spring is in fact around the corner. This summer’s natural and glamorous styles created by Guido on the runways can be seen on his  Spring/Summer 2012 “Natural Order” four trends below:

  • “Water Babies”
  • “Shape Shifter”
  • “New Lengths”
  • “Naturally Tough”.

“This Spring/Summer 2012 season was all about natural beauty, which was reinvented in modern ways. Each city had its own distinct personality—in New York we saw more casual and sporty hair, Milan had a very rich feeling, and in Paris we stepped out a bit more and really pushed the envelope.”—Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

]]> Frank Barbosa, co-owner of Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup (Newport, RI) and top theatre and film stylist (Ragtime, Mamma Mia, Lion King, Bride Wars, Sex and the City) is bringing back the European Blowout – and his clients can’t get enough!

“They’ve been doing this type of blowout in Greece and Germany for years, it’s a fast and easy way to achieve smooth bouncy volume quickly, so it’s great on set, as well as for salon clients,” explains Barbosa.

European Blowout

·       Apply a gel or lotion to towel dried hair to reduce frizz and add hold (try Rene Furterer Vegetal Styling Straightening Gel or Redken pure force 16 non-aerosol fixing spray)

·       Section hair  - the more sections, the more brushes needed. The average European Blowout uses around 12 brushes.

·       Brush each section up and over direct it with a Sam Villa Signature Series Round or Oval Brush. Wrap each section around the brush rolling away from the face, leaving the brush in (securing like a Velcro roller set).

·       Continue around head until each section is wrapped in a brush.

·       Blow dry until dry

·       Let cool

·       Take brushes out and style as usual

NOTE: If pressed for time, stretch-dry each section ¾ of the way and leave the brush in.  Continue around the head until each section is wrapped and complete the drying process with a Sam Vila E-T.C. Light Blow Dryer or under a head dryer. Let cool, take brushes out and style as usual.

“I have two sets of Sam Villa bamboo brushes – since they’re made of bamboo, they’re perfect for European Blowouts because they are so light.  It takes confidence to leave 12 brushes in a client’s head, you want to make sure they are comfortable and a lighter brush makes a big difference,” adds Barbosa.

Sam Villa Signature Series products are available at The Redken Gallerie/212-984-5027.  Learn more about Sam Villa by visiting www.samvilla.com <http://www.samvilla.com> or 1-888-812-1115.

PEARLY PINK GLOW

  • Pink complexions are all the rage for Spring. Koh Gen Do’s NEW Snowy Pink Powder neutralizes dullness and adds a soft pearly pink sheen.  Perfect for fair to medium light skin tones.

 

MATTE FINISH

]]>  Say HELLO to the new colors from CND for spring.

CND, pioneer of runway nail fashions, is releasing six brand new shades of Shellac Power Polish to the line-up in March 2012. CND Shellac is the alternative to basic polish because it dries instantly and delivers endless mirror shine with absolutely no chipping, smudging or dulling. With 36 shades there is a sophisticated look to suit all digit desires.

CND Shellac - 6 shades, March 2012

CND Shellac comes off in ten minutes with convenient, hygienic CND Shellac Remover Wraps that limit skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on the nail. CND Shellac color comes off from the inside out. The high-tech ‘quick release’ base coat causes it to flake into small pieces that gently slide off the nail without filing off the surface of the nail – unlike gels that require at least a half hour of soaking to remove.

 

CND Shellac is a professional salon service product. Manicure prices typically range from $25-$45 and pedicures from $40-$60 depending on location.
