THE LOOK Modern, luxurious waves

THE BREAKDOWN Here is how Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell gave nominee Christina Hendricks textured waves inspired by her red Marchesa Gown for tonight’s red carpet:

· To begin, Russell applied John Frieda Luxurious Volume Building Mousse to Christina’s roots when her hair was damp

· He then sprayed the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray to her ends and rough dried/scrunched her hair until it was 95% dry

· Next, Russell created a center part and used a multi bristle flat brush to smooth the hair, without stretching it, so that it had a lot of body.

· To create the waves, he used a 1-inch flat iron in sections to create texture and body. With a 1.25-inch curling iron, Russell then took small pieces at random and curled away from the face to add both rotation and dimension. For desired volume and shape, he brushed through the lengths of her hair with a wide toothed comb and back combed the underneath.

· To finish, Russell sprayed John Frieda Luxurious Volume All Day Hold Hairspray for hold and long lasting shine.

Recreate Amy Poehler’s Emmy Hair Look With überliss Hair Products

ALEX POLILLO STYLED NOMINEE AMY POEHLER FOR THE 2014 PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS USING UBERLISS PRODUCTS

Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler

Inspiration: “For tonights look, we decided to keep hair fun, playful and a little edgy, letting the dress stand out. Since it is a big event, I knew her hair needed to shine but at the same time, stay understated. Leaving the and straight, and alternating between two different types of wave helped me keep the balance.”

1. Start with freshly washed and towel dried hair, select a part and brush out. Polillo suggests trying überliss shampoo and conditioner ($23.00 – $26.00 @ überliss.com) when you wash the hair.

2. Apply überliss Rituoil ($19.90 @ überliss.com) serum to the damp hair and blow dry smooth with a medium sized round brush to add slight volume at the root. For a added volume at the crown, add 2-3 Velcro rollers.

3. Taking 1″ sections, alternate between the t3 wand and the t3 1″ flat iron to create a slight wave or a ‘s’ shaped wave with the flat iron (available at Sephora $130).

4. Using a liberal amount of Serge Normant Meta-Revive Dry Shampoo (available at Birchbox $25) at the root for a messy volume.

5. Pieced out the ends with Kevin Murphy Undressed ($33.00 available on Amazon) and finish with Leonor Greyl Voluforme Hairspray ($35.00 available on Amazon).

Tony Ties Make the Perfect Pony Tails

unnamed-6

unnamed-5

Don’t you hate those ugly red marks you get from wearing a hair elastic around your wrist? Well you won’t have to worry about that with Tony Ties by Mia Beauty! They are fashionable and practical. They can be used as a ponytailer or a bracelet. Instead of wearing a black plain hair elastic around your wrist Tony Ties come in all different colors and patterns. Because they are thicker than regular ponytailers, they hold your hair in all day long, and they look great on your wrist…. Without leaving any red marks!! I went to the beach last week wearing them on my wrist because they matched my bathing suit, but as soon as I went in the ocean, I used the Tony Ties to put my hair in a bun. Another great quality of these ties is that they do not leave a crease in your hair after you take your hair down. These ties would be a great gift for girls of any age, from children, teens, and adults! You can find a variety of options including neon and glitter ties at  www.miabeauty.com

Enhance Your Hair With HAIRMAX

If you are a product junkie like me then you find it extra hard to find a shampoo that can fight through all the build up and excess oils in your hair. I have tried many different shampoos, some have succeeded, but nothing like HAIRMAX Density Shampoo. HAIRMAX Density Shampoo is low pH which will help strengthen the scalps natural barrier and gives gentle exfoliation to the hair and is sulfate free. In one use you will not only feel a difference but notice a difference in how your hair look, feels and will even notice an enhanced color. I also have an extremely oily scalp and the HAIRMAX Density Shampoo helps to balance out the nasty over excess oils.

With 4 great products to choose from, HAIRMAX has been proven to cleanse, revitalize and fortify for thicker, denser looking hair. Lately I have been noticing (due to stress) that the hair around my temples has been thinning just a little. After using the HAIRMAX Density Shampoo it is slowly but surely creeping its way back in. I call this biotin without the pill (LOL). A HairMax independent study has demonstrated that there has been a 93.5% increase in hair counts and 78.9% increase in tensile strength.

How To Acheive The Perfect Top Knot

The Top Knot is the ideal style for any occasion as it can easily be paired with a dressed up or down ensemble for the perfect look. Jenny Balding, NYC Cutler/Redken Stylist, shares how to achieve this look:

Top Knot

Top Knot

•For best results, start with day two hair onwards as your hair will be easier to manage with an already ‘lived -in’ texture.
•Mist hair with dry shampoo, focusing primarily on the roots mainly – this will give your hair more texture, grip and volume.
•Then mist a light hairspray throughout for some hold and grip.
•Sweep your hair into high ponytail. Keep checking what it looks like from your profile so you position ponytail in the most flattering point of your head for your face shape.
•Take the ponytail and back-brush from the underneath lightly – this creates a slight disheveled texture.
•Sweep around the base of the ponytail and pin using U shaped hairpins. These really anchor the hair best which means you will only need 2 or 3 to secure.
•This creates perfectly disheveled topknot that looks ultra stylish and works for any event.
