Met Gala: Olivia Wilde hair how to

Olivia Wilde Looks Striking at Met Gala with a Simple, Smooth Hairstyle

olivis wilde

Olivia Wilde looks stunning on the red carpet tonight in a Prada gown for the 2015 Met Gala. Celebrity hair stylist, Ben Skervin, wanted to accentuate her style with a beautiful headband knotted in grey silk. “I wanted to keep the hair slick and simple, but I also liked the idea of keeping it graphic.” See below for steps from Ben on how to get Olivia’s look using Goldwell.

Skervin applied the Goldwell Style Sign Naturally Full Bodifying Blowdry & Finish Spray which not only helped add thickness to the hair, but it also created the beautiful, satin smooth finish that he needed to achieve with this style.

Once the hair was dry, Skervin then used a straightening iron to get the hair pin straight. He parted the hair down the center and used the Goldwell Style Sign Big Finish Volume Hairspray to smooth down the baby hairs around the hair line and along the part.

Lastly, Skervin added the headband and did one final straightening with the irons over the ends of the hair. He used a small amount of the Goldwell Elixir Versatile Oil Treatment on the very ends of the hair for smoothness. And then finally, he applied a small amount of additional hair spray to keep everything in place

Dakota Johnson red carpet hair how to

Dakota Johnson Dazzles in 50 Shades of Sequins at Met Ball 2015

Dakota Johnson took the red carpet by storm in her sequined mini dress at this year’s Met Gala. The Chinese themed ball inspired the short Chanel mini dress. For Dakota’s look, celebrity hairstylist, Jen Atkin, styled a short wavy bob on the actress, which is quite a change from the star’s usual long haired looks. See below for steps from Jen on how to get Dakota’s look using KMS California.

Jen created this look by first prepping Dakota’s wet hair with KMS California ADDVOLUME volumizing spray to provide heat protection and boost volume in her hair. She then scrunched sections of the hair and clipped with duckbill clips all around head to create an S-shaped pattern.

Jen blew the hair dry with a GHD dryer using her fingers while keeping the clips intact. Afterwards, she removed the clips and curled 1’’ sections of hair alternating between a 1″ flat iron to create waves and a 1 1/4″ GHD curling iron, while keeping the ends straight.

Next, she rubbed KMS California HAIRPLAY messing creme between each section.

Jen finished the look by misting KMS California FREESHAPE 2-in-1 styling and finishing spray over hair for lasting hold and added shine.

Just like our skincare routine our haircare routine should be changed with the upcoming summer months. Here are a few tips to change up your haircare routine for beautiful, soft, healthy hair all through the summer.

Like the oils in your skin, the oils in your scalp can speed up in the summer causing excess buildup and the clogging of the hair follicles. Beautiful hair starts with shampoo and conditioner. Treatment shampoos and conditioners like Pura d’or Organic Shampoos and Conditioners come in a variety of options from hair loss treatments, to scalp dandruff treatments. When the follicles (which are like pores) get clogged it can cause your hair to look dull, and dirty. Be sure to use the right shampoo and conditioning products during the summer months.

Also, just like our skin, our hair needs protection from the harmful UV rays. Especially if your hair is color treated. When going outside to the beach or just to go for a stroll, wrap your hair in a cute scarf or put on a hat. When hair is color treated it can tend to fade a lot faster and can sometimes turn a little brassy. Hats block sun and are also great for protecting our faceas well.

We have heard of swimmer’s ear? But have you ever heard of swimmer’s hair? Thats right. As we know during the summer we swim a lot and when we can tend to get a chlorine buildup on our hair leaving that ugly discoloration of green film. BUT it not only happens to blondes. A quick remedy to take care of that problem is before going in any kind of water (salt, lake, pool etc.) rinse your hair with clean lukewarm tap water. Also, be sure to apply a coat of leave in conditioner to act as a barrier.

Summer weather is also notorious for creating frizz! When applying an anti frizz serum make sure you find one that is silicone based. The silicone in today’s products are more advanced giving it more access to the hair. It is also non greasy and micro fine allowing more particles to process into the hair. The more particles the more you can be sure the deposit of the serum is even throughout the whole head. Follow instructions on the bottle of how much you should use (usually a dime size amount).

If you have long hair, the struggle of the heat and perspiration can be a real drag. And when we go out, sometimes we don’t want to have to put our hair up. Baby Powder can act as a barrier as well. Before you put on your clothes or even do your hair apply a thin layer of baby powder to your skin, like the back of your neck, down your back etc. then finish dressing. You may notice that throughout the day just how much more comfortable you will feel. Also, the baby powder leaves a cooling sensation on your skin.

Fierce & daring with one spray

Intoxicating, sexy and daring! Lady Gaga’s newest fragrance, Eau De Gaga, will leave you feeling that and more in one use. Eau De Gaga is the future scent that will “appeal to both men and women where nothing is off limits”. (from HausLaboratories.com)

Eau De Gaga

Eau De Gaga

Eau De Gaga is unlike any fragrance I have ever smelled before. I usually don’t go for the “sexy” smelling fragrances but one whiff of this and I am hooked. With notes of White Violet, Sparkling Lime and Instinct Leather, the aroma of Eau De Gaga carries with you all day long. The White Violet is the opening note that intrigues the senses of both men and women while the lime exudes vibrancy and leather adds primal quality.

Also, having trouble finding the perfect gift for mom? Well, what woman doesn’t want to feel sexy? Especially mom! Surprise mom this Mother’s Day with Eau De Gaga. Its a gift that will keep on giving all day long.

I find it a little difficult to write about a fragrance, especially one that when its first sprayed gives off an incredible smell. The more I wore it throughout the day the better it smelled. Experience this amazing fragrance from Lady Gaga by visiting www.hauslaboratories.com or one of your local department stores and experience the fierceness for yourself!

Turn the Heat up this Mother’s Day with Beyonce’

beyonce-wild-orchid-feature_2014-06-18_03-24-58

Beyoncé Heat Wild Orchid is one of the best fragrances you can give to that “special lady” in your life this Mother’s Day. Beyoncé Heat Wild Orchid has a wonderfully fragrant and feminine scent, and the pink perfume bottle is so elegant and eye catching, who wouldn’t want this on their bureau. I know I wouldn’t mind. What is especially nice about this fragrance is that it is totally affordable. You definitely won’t have to break the bank to purchase this exquisite fragrance which can be found for $20 or less at retailers nationwide.

Beyonce’ explains her fragrance best, “The fragrance opens with a sparkling allure of the tantalizing trio of pomegranate, coconut water and boysenberry. Honeysuckle and blooming magnolia frame the butterfly orchid to create a bold bouquet. The base showcases simmering sexy notes of blond woods, skin musks and gilded amber adding to its sensuality.”

Beyonce’ has created many beautiful fragrances and this one is no different. I would be so excited to receive a bottle of Beyonce’ Heat Wild Orchid this Mother’s Day and your Mom will too!
