Lady Gaga’s Chemical Haircut Highlights Known Bleaching And Blonding Challenges

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Pop star Lady Gaga, aka Stefani Germanotta, has admitted to People.com that her trademark white blonde hair is falling out because of constant dyeing and bleaching.

The superstar performer said “I have to get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out”.    Lady Gaga is a natural brunette but has spent many years dyeing her hair blonde.

Hair Problems Due To Excessive Dying And Bleaching

While anything Lady Gaga does with her hair, make-up, body or fashions sets the world on fire, her confession of blonde hair trauma is nothing new.  Many celebrities from Paris Hilton to Christina Aguilera have suffered through bouts of hair problems as a result of excessive drying and bleaching.

Although Lady Gaga’s hair hues range from start white blonde to a mixture of eggnog, egg yolk and ashy gray blonde, it’s hard to know exactly how dark her natural brunette shade it.  The darker her natural brunette hue, the stronger the dye that has to be used to pop open the cuticle and lift the color to a light white.

Sarah Steele Lets Her Natural Curls Shine In The Good Wife

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

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…)

Kirstie Alley is back on network TV as the celebrity dancing partner of Maksim Chmerkovskiy the Dancing With The Star’s bad boy pro.

Kirstie and Maks came out dancing in the Premiere episode.  The sizzling duo earned a 23, the second-highest score of the night, for their spectacular cha-cha.  Maks is considered a strong taskmaster but he is often in the finals so Kirstie is lucky to have him as her partner.

Kirstie is famous for her long honey hued hairstyle infused with loose curls and waves throughout the perimeter.  Kirstie’s hairstyle usually features a picture perfect side-swept fringe which flows from a side part and down over the top of one eye.

How To Copy Kirstie’s Hair

The top of Kirstie’s hairstyle is smooth and sleek exploding into lush volume along the edges due to a heavy dose of big beautiful waves.

Complete the steps below to copy Kirstie’s Hairstyle:

1.  Wash hair in lukewarm water using routine cleansing method such as Diluted Shampoo (DS), Conditioner Only (CO), Conditioner Wash Conditioner (CWC), No Poo, Low Poo or Water Only (WO).  Use products appropriate for your hair type, texture, length and current condition.

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…)

Cleansing Hair Upside Down: Tips & Techniques

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Tips For Cleansing Hair Upside Down

An ongoing debate in the world of  hair care involves the pros and cons of washing hair when bent over at the waist so the hair falls basically upside down.   In other words the very bottom layers of the hair is exposed to the water and cleansing formula while the top layer of the hair is only exposed through a trickled down effect.

Why would someone want to wash their hair upside down?  Some fans of this method believe when the cleansing products are applied to the bottom layers of the hair versus the top, there is less overall damage.

Afterall, the top layer of anyone’s hair receives the most consistent assault from sun, wind, environmental toxins, hot styling tools, brushing, combing and general styling methods.

Other critics of the Upside Down method believe the hassle of detangling hair which is washed upside down is not worth the benefits of protecting the top layers of the strands.   Others argue that since the top layers of the hair receive the most damage and potential dirt and toxins, those layers need the direct application of water and cleansing products.

Fans of the Upside Down Cleansing Method believe it would help preserve chemically colored, highlighted, low lighted or similarly treated strands.

Some types, textures and lengths of hair are more compatible with being cleansed upside down than others.  Hair which is stick straight, fine or thin or with only a little bit of wave and texture is less prone to major tangling than strands which are naturally curly, tightly waved, coiled or tightly textured.

If you wish to try cleansing your hair upside down follow the tips and techniques below: (more…)

Steal Haley Reinhart’s Wavy Hair On American Idol

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Haley Reinhart has been singing since she was 8 years old and now she’s in the competition of a lifetime.  The 20 year old Wheeling, Illinois blonde was on of the final 10 picked last Thursday on American Idol (AI).

Although 13 AI contestants will compete due to the addition of the judge’s wild cards, Haley was a standout and part of the original 10.

Haley has a lot of advantages including her gorgeous long blonde wavy/curly tresses.  If you’re an American Idol fan you understand that ultimately the winner has that total package of great talent, stage presence and image.  When a finalist is lacking in one of the key ingredients the AI coaches step in and help them fine tune their game face.

It will be interesting to see how Haley will transform if she continues to do well in the competition.  Already the beauty has tons of fans.

Haley has been doing lots of interviews and she says what makes her unique is that she’s “been surrounded by so many different types of music and just musical people in my family in general.”  In her blog she credits her parents and their band for helping her to discover that she wanted to be a musician.  Her family is very important to her.
