How To Do A Modern Nape Knot Hairstyle For Prom

Monday, March 14th, 2011

How To – Achieve This Sensual Hairstyle

This simple but elegant hairstyle is showcased on one of the stunning Jovani Prom Gowns.  The hairstyle can be worn pulled off the hairline in front (as shown by the Jovani model) or it can be combined with a side-swept or full fringe.

Pulling all the hair off the face does have the advantage of creating a dramatic hairstyle and of course shows off perfect make-up, lips and stunning earrings.

The Modern Nape Knot is perfectly paired with the Jovani gown which features lots of gorgeous ruffles.  In this case you don’t want your hair to detract from the beauty of the gown.

Suggested Hair Length – Long – Shoulder Length Or Longer.

Hair should either be naturally straight or have the ability to be temporarily straightened with products or during drying cycle.  While you could create a Modern Nape Knot on hair which is naturally curly or wavy, you would not be able to achieve the same sleekness.

If natural hair is not long enough to create this style add-on hair is an option.  Either have clip-in strands applied or semi-perm fusion extensions to lengthen the natural strands.  Detailed steps on How To Do this hairstyle is included below. (more…)

Snooki Deserves A Great Stylist – Even If Rachel Zoe Said No

Friday, March 11th, 2011

The Hollywood Reporter recently published an amazing piece about how celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe became the most powerful stylist in Hollywood.

When discussing Rachel Zoe Inc’s (RZI) bread and butter, it was revealed that “styling celebrities and a few private clients” remains the primary moneymaker.

Zoe revealed “Sometimes princesses will fly in for three days from Dubai or Russia or London — that’s always fun.”

Although it’s apparent from The Hollywood Reporter piece that Zoe is extremely busy, the stylist says “if I was really excited about someone and if it was the right fit” she might take on a new client.

Even though it’s not her primary goal to expand her client roster anytime soon, the right person would make it on her short list.

Well except maybe for Snooki,  Jersey Shore’s famous cast member.  Zoe made her feelings about Snooki very clear.   “I don’t have time,” coos Zoe, who says she’s never seen an episode of Jersey Shore. “No really, because she’s so out there right now, that’s like a full-time job. It’s nothing against Snooki.”

Yes, Snooki has a very unique style of dress for her hit MTV reality show, but she could easily be a class act.  Watch out Anne Hathaway.

Actually, if anyone could help Snooki look absolutely amazing it would be Zoe.  Maybe she’s no longer up for a challenge?  Well hey, Snooki, I’d be glad to style you and definitely for a lot less than Rachel, who charges $10,000 per event.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Zoe does an amazing job but I feel bad that she would snub Snooki.  Who wouldn’t want to work with Snooki?  She’s adorable and could rule the world with the right outfits. Plus she has amazing hair.  Snooki if you’re out there…call me.

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.

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…)

Helena Bonham Carter Rocked Mass Of Curls At 2011 Oscars

Monday, February 28th, 2011

When it comes to fashion, Britian’s Helena Bonham Carter is truly a mixed bag of tricks.  Listed by E’s Fashion Police as one of the top five celebrities to watch on the Oscar 2011 Red Carpet, Carter indeed was watchable.   Carter, 44, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The King’s Speech.

Although she lost The Best Supporting Actress award, Carter won the adoration of E’s Kelly Osbourne who has been crushing on Carter throughout the entire awards season.

While live on E! News during the Academy Awards Red Carpet broadcast Kelly expressed her admiration.

She said to Carter  “I adore you. I love the way that you dress, I love the way you come on the carpet and you set a standard and don’t care what people think. You look beautiful tonight. I am obsessed with you.”   Carter returned the favor telling Kelly “I love you too.”  It was a very touching moment.

Mass Of Curls Piled High On Top Of Head

While many fashionistas deemed Carter to be one of the worst dressed at the  2011 Oscars, some placed her on the best list.  Vanity Fair was one of the magazines which listed her as best dressed.

Ironically, the star who was dressed by Oscar winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, was spotted wearing a flip flop shoe accessory pinned into her mass of chocolate brown shimmering curls which were piled high on her head.   Although Carter’s curls appeared to be unrestrained, at further examination her tresses were masterfully coiffed to give the impression of free form ringlet cascades.

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

A traditional chignon pulled up high on top of the head, positioned halfway between the hairline and nape of the neck looks dressy, but is easy to create on tresses which are shoulder length or longer.

If your hair is too short to wrap into a chignon then you can utilize clip-inchignon, a hair extensions, fusion extensions or an clip-in pony.

The bun can be created on most hair textures ranging from stick straight to wavy and curly.   Hair can either be temporarily straightened or worn with natural texture.

For a sleek chignon the hair will need to be smoothed before wrapping.

Hair which is freshly washed will require prepping with hairspray, add-on bun, styling cream or similar to give the strands some grip and pull. (more…)

Ross Matthews Loves Too Much At 2011 SAG Awards

Monday, January 31st, 2011

E Red Carpet reporter Ross Matthews was doing interviews with Giuliana Rancic at last night’s SAG Awards.  At the very beginning of the show Ross and Giuliana were doing their intro and Ross stopped to wave at the fans on one side and the still photographers on the other.  He said to Giuliana “I love them.”

Giuliana and Ross continued to chat and Ross said “I love the fashions, love, love, love the fashions.”  Giuliana said to Ross “I actually got a note from the producer (of the show).  You can’t love everyone you talk to tonight.  Like it’s one thing to love Betty White.  We all love Betty White.  The fifth extra in Glee?  Do you really love them?”

Ross said “what about this? I love you.”  Giuliana said “that works, the producers can live with that.”

Right after their chat about Ross loving too many things Giuliana said she was going to call him RMatt like RPat.  Ross was thrilled and said “uhhh, I’ll take that.  I love a Hollywood name. Helloooo.”

Ross aka RMatt seemed to pay attention to the Guiliana’s comments about loving too much.  When he interviewed Jenna Ushkowitz  from Glee he only mentioned love one time, when he complimented the tattoo on her arm.  He also seemed to control his loving when he chatted with Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson.   He also controlled his love words when he interviewed Naya Rivera from Glee.

Ross did let lose with “I love that” when he interviewed Jenna Fischer who wanted to say hello to her sister Emily.  He did flirt with the adorably handsome Jon Hamm and mentioned that Josh Duhamel was loved by his fans.  He also had several loves he expressed to Helena Bonham Carter.

However, Ross actually keep his loving to a minimum.  Kudos to Ross.

January Jones’ Architectural SAG Updo Hairstyle With Platinum Angles And Curves

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Actress January Jones drives the fashion, hair and beauty police mad with her ability to constantly reinvent herself on every Red Carpet she steps onto with her bejeweled feet.  In many ways January is a modern version of Cinderella who has emerged from the Mad Men Carriage to be a top contender for best hair, best fashions and just about best everything else ranging from shoes and jewels to handbags and make-up.

Fashion houses like Versace Atelier kill for the opportunity for January to wear their gowns.  Although she appears to have a preference for Versace, for the 2011 SAG Awards she rocked Carolina Herrera.  Her constantly evolving array of updos, twists and retro tresses never cease to impress and work in perfect harmony with her designer gown of choice.

January Jones is sometimes compared to the blonde and beautiful actress Grace Kelly due to her lady-like glamour.

Although she recently wore a stunning red peek-a-boo gown at the 2011 Golden Globes, she changed it up for the SAG Awards by rocking a black high-necked Mermaid shaped figure hugging gown with gold details.

The demure Carolina Herrera gown showed off January’s spectacular figure. With that Carolina Herrera gown January’s celebrity hairstylist, Renato Campora had to turn her platinum blonde tresses into a work of hair art. (more…)

Ten Ways To Have Chic Hairstyles On The Cheap

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

When money is tight the aesthetically inspired never give up on having chic hairstyles.  Even regular visits to the hairstylist are no longer on the budget there are still many options to have stunning tresses.

It was during World War II when women couldn’t afford professional salon visits that home perms, relaxers and hair color kits exploded.  During that time women also drew seams on their bare legs with black eyebrow pencils to simulate seamed stockings and figured out all types of treatments to look glam with little or no cost.

A Chic Hairstyle On The Cheap

Economic doom and gloom is the mother of hairstyle and beauty invention. Listed below are ten ways to have a chic hairstyle on the cheap:

1.  Shop at flea markets or similar locations for vintage silk scarves.  Wear them as glam hair accessories.  A beautiful scarf wrapped around the hairline or a few inches back and tied in a beautiful bow on one side can make any hairstyle look gorgeous and updated.  Or roll your scarf to form a faux headband.
2.  Combine big sparkly earrings with a sleek pulled back pony, twist or bun.  Earrings instantly draw attention to your tresses giving them an amped up look.  Even if your hair is short, stunning earrings will make any hairstyle look fabulous.
3.  Invest in a hand crafted beret, fedora or similar.  Not only are you supporting the local community and stimulating the economy, you’ll showcase your hairstyle in a new light with your edgy head wear. (more…)

Hair Secrets Revealed When Ivanka Styled Ivana Trump

Monday, December 27th, 2010

If you ever visited my house you might think you were visiting a library.  The reality is that I save every book, magazine and related hair article I ever read.  Once in awhile I go through my shelves to see what kind of hair, beauty or fashion related gems I can find.

Recently I discovered the September 2000 issue of Marie Claire Magazine.  In this particular issue I was fascinated to find an article featuring a brunette tressed Ivana Trump,  acting as a fashion stylist to her famous mother.

At the time of the article, about the celebrity mother and daughter team,  Ivana was preparing to attend Georgetown University as a freshman.  It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since the beautiful and poised Ivanka was beginning her college days.

What was fascinating about unearthing this article was finding all the hair secrets revealed during the makeover shoot.  It was interesting looking back into time and catching the Trump girls having fun playing fashionista together.

From Sophisticated To Very Pretty And Very Very Simple

Besides have long brunette tresses Ivanka’s goal with regard to styling her famous mom was simple.  Ivanka, known as Vachi to her mom, told Marie Claire “I’m going to make my mom look very pretty – and very, very simple.”   Simple was definitely a new direction for the famously sophisticated blonde beauty known for her mile high French twists, fluffy blonde bouffant buns and high fashion looks.
