Lauren Conrad 18 Inch Taped Hair Extensions

Lauren Conrad 18 Inch Taped Hair Extensions

Lauren Conrad (LC) loves to change up her hair by transitioning through an array of dramatic lengths, colors, textures and hairstyles.

To achieve her constantly changing hairstyles LC wears an array of hair extensions which dates back to her time on MTV’s “The Hills.”

On July 19th of 2011 Lauren appeared at the HTC Hosts the “HTC Status Social” in Los Angeles with very long hair extensions highlighted with an array of light turquoise blue strands.

On November 9th the reality TV star, author and fashion designer appeared with her hair infused with waves, but several inches shorter than at the July 19th event.  The blue highlights were no longer visible.

Did LC get her hair cut?  It’s unlikely.

It’s most likely she had her longtime hairstylist Kristin Ess of Warren-Tricomi salon in LA shorten the hair extensions she regularly wears.

Although many people know Lauren loves to wear her hair long and lush, many of LC’s fans have no clue she even wears hair extensions.   (more…)

Hair Extensions For Back To School

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Hair extensions are often used to make a great impression.  And what would make a better back-to-school impression than a great head of hair?

Even better, hair extensions have become so advanced that even synthetic ones look like the human versions.  Many of the hair extension companies have introduced heat defiant (HD) fibers.

As an example, easihair’s new heat defiant collection of clip-in extensions (available at WigSuperstore.com) can be blow dried, hot ironed, crimped or hot curled just like natural human hair.

The easihair clip-in extensions offer face-framing layers and volumizing pieces  which blend in seamlessly to create long and luscious thick locks with just a few snaps of the fingers.  Even better, the easihair clip-in extensions have a no-rise, smooth, skin base.

Another advantage to the easihair hair extensions is that the HD fibers look and act like human hair, but at a greatly reduced price. (more…)

Hair How To: Audrina Patridge’s Long Lush Waves

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Reality Star Audrina Patridge is famous for her long sexy hairstyles and hair hues.

Patridge recently took her trademark long lush beachy waves to a softer, lighter hue cascading from an off-center part.  Her latest hair color incarnation works well with her perpetually tanned skin.  The lighter hue also plays well with her eyes and lips.

Audrina admits on her official blog “I feel my hair is usually my biggest flaw!  My hair is actually naturally super straight! I don’t own a hair straightener.  I wish I had wavy hair. I usually put a wave in it, put it up in a pony tail or clip it half way back!”

As far as her natural hair and eye color, Audrina admits “I’m naturally a dirty blonde. My eyes are hazel, but at times look brown, amber or green. So when it comes to coloring my hair, I sometimes go dark which brings out the green.  But I tend to not ask for a specific color, – I like honey tones.”

Hair How To: Step By Step

To copy Audrina’s lightly tousled beachy waves, start with a toffee or caramel base infused with platinum highlights.

1.  Cleanse hair in lukewarm water with desired methodology such as shampoo, Diluted Shampoo (DS), Conditioner Only (CO), Water Only (WO), Lo Poo, No Poo or a combination.   Select the best products for your hair type, texture and condition.

2.  Rinse well.  Apply desired leave-in conditioner from the ears down to the ends.  With the conditioner still in the hair, use fingers or hair-friendly wide tooth comb to detangle.  Start from the ends and work slowly and gently up towards the roots. (more…)

Celeb Hairstylist Orlando Pita Says Kate Winslet’s Hair Was Cut And Dyed For British Vogue

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

According to an interview with MODERN SALON, celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita says that Kate Winslet’s hair was cut for the British Vogue cover.

He told MODERN “I think Kate is very versatile and can wear many different looks.  We chose this look because the photographer Mario Testino wanted to giver her a very different look.  The fashion in the story was black and white so we decided to go with almost white hair and cut it short and choppy.”

Pita, a celebrity hair consultant on Bravo’s recent season of Shear Genius, also noted the Academy Award winner’s hair on British Vogue was a dramatic departure from her former shoulder length, dirty blonde locks.

Of course transitioning hair color from dirty blonde to stark white was shocking to fans as was the short choppy hair which many questioned.  Did Kate really cut her hair or not?  After all, many celebrities over the years have stunned fans with a drastic new length or color only to confess later to wearing a wear, hair extensions or some other instant hair altering accessory.

Jessica Simpson famously shocked fans a few years ago by showing up at a red carpet event wearing a drastic new red hair hue.

Shortly afterwards her celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves explained he and Simpson had collaborated on her stunning new do by having her wear a new wig from her Jessica Simpson collection.  Simpson also told the media she used powder mascara to camouflage any random blonde roots that might have popped out from the wig.

Hair How To: American Idol’s Karen Rodriquez Long Straight Hair

Monday, March 21st, 2011

Sadly American Idol (AI) contender Karen Rodriquez was eliminated from the Fox/TV hit reality show last Thursday.  Although the AI judges could have saved her, it has to be a unanimous save.  Judge Jennifer Lopez informed Karen that she had to leave, but that the decision for her to go was “not unanimous.”

AI watches have indicated that Judge Lopez seemed to have a soft spot for Rodriquez who hoped to be the first ever Latino American Idol.

Unfortunately Karen didn’t have the vocal chops to compete against some of the other strong contenders like Pia Toscano, Casey Abrams, James Durbin and Lauren Alaina or get enough viewer votes to keep her in the competition.

Rodriquez, from some views looked very much like a young Jennifer Lopez.  The contestant also told the media her dream duet partner would be Marc Anthony who just happens to be married to the American Idol judge.

I originally blogged about Karen showcasing natural curls during her earlier appearances. As the American Idol season progressed Karen’s hair became straighter and sleeker.

For her final performance before being send home she wore her hair parted down the middle with bone straight panels of lush shiny strands extending down towards her waist. (more…)

Best Prom 2011 Hairstyles – How To Copy Reese Witherspoon Hair At Oscars

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Even as the stars were strolling down the Red Carpet at the recent 2011 Academy Awards fashionistas were frantically scribbling notes.  Not only were they trying to get all the details about the gown, the jewels, the hair, make-up and shoes, in some cases they were working for companies who are knocking off the gowns.

(Reese Witherspoon at 2011 Academy Awards – DC Media – All Rights Reserved)

Did you read that right?  Yes indeed.  As recently reported on NBC’s Today show, Red Carpet gowns are evaluated for convertibility to the general public and then instantly copied for Proms, weddings and other special events.  Some of the dresses can already be ordered and will be delivered in a matter of weeks.

This information is noteworthy because outfits like Jennifer Hudson wore added up to a cool million dollars for the gown and the accessories and the converted knock-offs usually retail in the hundreds rather than the thousands.

Meanwhile on the hair front, converted Red Carpet hairstyles are key for Spring Prom and Weddings.

If you’re planning your own Prom, Spring Formal or Wedding entrance, why not copy some of the top hairstyles showcased at the 2011 Oscars? (more…)
