A bright tomato hued Rihanna is on the April cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone (RSM) Magazine strutting her stuff.\u00a0 She showed her naughty side in the interview revealing “I like to be spanked.\u00a0 Being tied up is fun.\u00a0 I like to keep it spontaneous.”\n

Ironically her saucy bedroom revelations and her full head of shocking red hair have set the media abuzz at the same time ex-love Chris Brown is dealing with his own hair\u00a0 transformation and bad boy behaviors.\u00a0 The R&B singer first went to a shocking hue of platinum blonde and then after an altercation at ABC’s Good Morning America, he went to his trademark dark locks in time for his live performance on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) on Tuesday evening.

In a previous blog I shared that one of my guilty pleasures is the film “Spanglish” which was released in 2004.

Although the critics panned it, I love the film and all the various actors including Sarah Jane Steele (born July 24, 1988) who plays Bernice, Sandler’s awkward teen-aged daughter.

Sarah beat out thousands of young hopeful females to win the role.  She was fabulous as the lovable teen dealing with her mother’s constant lack of approval due to her weight, frizzy curly hair and overall appearance.

Her mother, Deborah, played by Tea Leoni was blonde, beautiful, athletic and reed thin.  She also had long, bone straight tresses, which were always perfectly coiffed.

Much to her mother’s disappointment Bernie physically and emotionally takes after her father, John who has bushy natural curls, full eyebrows and a healthy weight.  Sarah Steele was spectacular in the role.  Every time I see the movie I want to reach through the screen and give her a hug. (more…)

American Idol is down to the top 13 after last Thursday’s elimination.  One of the AI contestants, Casey Abrams, 20, has gotten a reputation for having a lot of sex appeal.  Labeled by the judges as one of the most talented musicians ever to compete in the history of AI, Abrams wow the judges and the audiences with his bass and melodica playing.  His singing was icing on the musical cake.

When Abrams performed for the first time for the live audience he had the women in the audience whipped into a frenzy.    His steamy rendition of “I Put a Spell on You” which closed the show, had the audience in the palms of his hands.  Jennifer Lopez was feeling the heat and told the contestant from California “You’re sexy, Casey. You know that?”

While Casey definitely has that sexy disheveled look, helped by his cascading natural curls but his screaming, growling rendition of “I Put a Spell on You” captured a Michael Bublé essence.  He has heat.  Lots of it.

Abrams also attributes his growing status as an AI sex symbol to his curls.  Indeed, Abrams has the most hair of any of the male contestants.  Rocking a full head of bouncy shiny natural curls, Abrams likens his image to that of a lumber jack.

As far as any plans to tame his natural curls or his beard he says “I want to set a new mold.”  He noted “Maybe I’ll trim the beard every once in a while.”

Never mind, this contestant is bound to win tons of new groupees and be known as one of the most talented and sexiest performers ever.  Inject catcalls here.

When you update your  style, always start at the top, with your hair. “The fringe is massive,” says Mana Dave, New Zealand’s 2008 Hairdresser of the Year (awarded at Hair Expo Australia in Sydney) and part-owner of Blaze Salon in Newmarket, Auckland.

A hairdresser for 10 years, he’s training and development coach for Redken New Zealand’s 15-strong artistic team and was recently inducted into Redken 5th Avenue New York City’s 2008 global collection team, made up of six people from different countries.

Dave and the Redken team create the company’s International collection which determines the colors, looks, shapes and styles which filter from the catwalks to the salons.

Get Your Fringe Customized To Your Face Shape

Dave  explaines “If you get a fringe, it’s important to get it tailored to your face shape – one fringe doesn’t suit all,” The Hairdresser of the Year says “A heavy fringe doesn’t suit a fuller face, but a more broken-up, textured one will.”

Long Hair Isn’t Always For Everyone

Dave doesn’t believe long hair is for everyone.  He says “Long hair is big, but there’s something for everyone.”  He notes “New Zealand women really embrace short hair and they don’t have a hang- up about shorter hair like women overseas do, so they are really open to shorter styles.” (more…)
