Celebrity Hairstylist Chad Wood styles Vanessa Hudgens using John Frieda Hair Care for the 2018 Golden Globes InStyle Viewing Party 

Last night, Vanessa Hudgens’ hair made a classic and trendy statement with a fringe bob – a hairstyle that’s already a top hair trend for 2018.

Inspiration: Chad was inspired by the ultimate French girl bob.

Step-by-step:

  • Start by spraying John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray from the mid-shaft through the ends of the hair to help seal in a long-lasting straight, smooth style
  • Next, lightly spray John Frieda Luxurious Volume Root Booster Blow Dry Lotion to the roots to give the hair volume and hold
  • Then, starting with the back sections, blow dry the hair smooth using a round brush
  • Once the hair is completely dry, use a flat iron to give extra polish and shine
  • Apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème on the ends and a small amount on the fringe to accomplish a lived-in look
  • To finish, spray John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray

Lily James’ hair made a romantic statement last night for the 2018 Golden Globes. 

Inspiration: Gregory was inspired by Lily’s statement-making, black Valentino gown to create a soft and graceful updo that compliments the ruffled neckline and low back.

Step-by-step:

  • Starting with damp hair, spray John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Hydration Leave-In Detangling Mist on the ends to nourish, detangle and prep the hair
  • Then, apply a golf ball-sized amount of John Frieda Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse to the crown and to the root of the hair to help create lasting body
  • Next, blow dry the hair with a large, round hairbrush to further add fullness. Once the hair is dry, use a flat iron to create a natural looking wave
  • After waving the hair, spray John Frieda Luxurious Volume Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo through the lengths of hair to add a soft texture
  • Then, apply a pearl-sized amount of John Frieda Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème through the ends of the hair to add shine and definition
  • Leave a few wisps of hair out around the face and tie the rest of the hair low at the nape of the head. Split the ponytail in half and tie a knot fastening the ends loosely so it has a soft, romantic feeling
  • Lastly, use John Frieda Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray to lock in the style
  • As a final touch, add a gold stone hair pin to the knot

Frankie Shaw’s Get The Look by Jo Baker

Frankie Shaw’s Get The Look by Jo Baker using the bareMinerals Made-2-Fit app…
The Inspiration: Radiant and flawless looking skin accented by a smoldering antique gold eye
How to Get the Look:
Skin
To get Frankie’s radiant skin, Jo Baker used a bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation custom blended just for her skin a few days prior to the Golden Globes. To create the bespoke foundation exclusively for Frankie, Jo used the bareMinerals Made-2-Fit App to scan her skin in five different. A lightweight, buildable and oil-free formula, bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation Customized by MATCHCo is infused with Green Tea and Vitamin E, both powerful antioxidants, to combat signs of aging. Moisturizing ceramides and White Lily Extract work to plump and smooth fine lines, resulting in luminous skin.
Jo wanted an additional radiance boost on the cheeks and brows so she swept the bareMinerals Invisible bronze in Fair to Light to add a soft focus glow under the camera flashes. She then doubled up on blush by mixing bareMinerals Invisible Glow in Medium with Ready Blush and The Confession which is a super universal every day perfect cheek color.
Eyes
Using her fingers Jo applied an antique gold tone shadow to create a smokey effect that didn’t appear heavy or too dark. To add a little depth and intensity, Jo applied a dark eyeliner along the inside waterline and smudged it into the lash line to add drama and a moodiness. She finished off Frankie’s eyes with the bareMinerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara with Petite Precision Brush. The tiny fine-tuning brush within the formula allowed a feathery and defined lash line which was the perfect complement to the smokey shadow.
Lips
Jo and Frankie wanted a low maintenance and pretty lip to complement the antique gold smokey eye. To prep Frankie’s lips, Jo used bareMinerals Bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer in Medium. Jo placed the concealer around her mouth to mute her natural lip tone and the perfect long wear base to set her nude lip. Jo loves a creamy moisture rich finish in a nude and bareMinerals Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick in Tutu gave Frankie’s lips the perfect rich satin finish.
The bareMinerals MADE-2-FIT app is free to download iTunes and select androids; each bespoke bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation Customized by MATCHCo retails for $49 for a 30ml bottle. For more information, please visit www.bareminerals.com or your nearest bareMinerals store.

PHILIP B Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray to help prevent Winter’s “Hat Hair”

I moved back to New England a couple of years ago, after 34 years in Los Angeles and Florida. “What? are you crazy?” is a question I get asked often. Yes, I do miss my past lives in the warm climates but I love being with family and enjoy being able to really dress up during the cold winter months. For instance, today it is 13 degrees right now and we are headed to -1 tonight, New Year’s Eve!

With this very frigid winter weather, I love to wear my hats. I have many. On occasion, I  proudly wear my favorite hat, a winter hat from the personal collection of newspaper gossip columnist Hedda Hopper . Hedda was said to buy 150 new hats a year!

Now, the “Hat Hair” issue surfaces! Sometimes I’ll put a hat on in the morning and leave it on until bedtime or at least have it on for half or more of the day. Then I pull off my hat to find flattened, fizzy, Static ‘icky’ hair.

Here are some pointers from hairstylist Ted Gibson and Kien Hoang for preventing “hat hair”.

Wet hair under a hat will become flat hair. “It’s also important to make sure that hair is completely dry before putting a cap on, even if it’s slightly damp, it will dry flattened and in the shape of the hat,” warns Hoang. Build volume with products beforehand to counter your hat’s flattening effect. “Volumizing sprays will add body to the hair, keeping it full for hat days,” says Gibson. Other styling tricks include twisting your hair into pin curls after using a curling iron. “This will help set hair in soft waves and will hold longer,” says Gibson. Hoang advises “a little light back-combing beforehand, which will provide some extra padding for the hair.”

Hat hair isn’t completely avoidable, but you can revive it. “Leave-in conditioners add moisture to hair, which will help combat static caused by dryness,” says Hoang. As far as discreet products you can throw in your bag, Gibson cleverly created hair styling sheets, similar in shape to dryer sheets, they deposit smoothing product as you rub them over static cling. If you don’t have those handy, blast hairspray on your fingers and “spot treat” flyways. However, try to avoid brushing hair — since it’s already dry, it will only cause more static.

The material and size of your hat is matters too.

And here is my routine for preventing “hat hair”.

PHILIP B Oud Royal

PHILIP B Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray

 

Whenever possible, I like my hair to be freshly shampooed when wearing a hat over it. I use a light mousse and a PHILIP B product. The PHILIP B product I discovered just this winter adds extra shine and prevents my hair from friction. It is the PHILIP B Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray. The text on the label states it protects hair against damage from heat, sun, chlorine and salt water. If I could, I would happily ad protection from “hat hair” to that. The formula includes a time-released hair perfume. My hair smells great when the hat comes off and it keeps my hats fresh and smelling good also. I does not weigh my hair down at all.

When my hair is wet, I tousle in a light mouse and begin to dry my hair. Just before my hair is completely dry and before the pin curls, I spray The PHILIP B Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray onto it then continue to completely dry my hair and then twist the dry hair into pin curls.

The hats of course do not come off to that look in public! But with a quick trip the ladies room I soon appear with full shiny hair – minus the bobby pins. I simply remove the pins run my fingers through my hair and give it a good shake. I have a shoulder length bob that turns into a cute curly bob.
