Maria Bello Celebrity Stylist Gives Step by Steps for Classic Updo

Celebrity stylist Sean James chose this simple but very appropriately elegant look for actress Maria Bello for a recent awards show. Maria accepted “The Spirit Award for Style and Elegance,” at Los Angeles Fashion Week.

“Celebrity Stylist Gives Maria Bello a Classic Updo Hairstyle”An oval face shape such as Maria Bello’s can hardly go wrong with a hairstyle, but this look is a classic and it was perfect for the women who received this award!

How to Get the Hairstyle:

• Step One: Use RUSK Thick to give hair volume and blow dry the hair back away from the face to create more fullness.
• Step Two: Curl the ends with a 1″ barrel curling iron
• Step Three: Take a triangular section of hair at the front of the head from eye to eye to center of crown and clip it out of the way. Pull the rest of the hair in a low ponytail at the nape of the head then twist and pin into a bun this is where the pre-curling will make it easier to create a nice shape.
• Step Four: Back-comb/tease the pinned fringe and then smooth it bringing it back and twisting it. Pin it back into the bun leaving a little volume on the top section. Spray for hold with good hairspray like RUSK Radical Extreme Hold and you are ready to go!

Mid Length Hairstyles

Katie Holmes Mid Length Hairstyle is a Hit!!

My hair salon is buzzing about Katie Holmes’ new mid length hairstyle that she debuted on the November cover of Elle Magazine. My clients are not the only ones who have fallen head over heels for this mid length hairstyle. Internet blogs and discussion boards are buzzing about this new mid length hairstyle too!

“New Mid Length Hairstyle”How to Get this Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie has naturally smooth, straight hair that is of a medium thickness. This hair type is ideal for this mid length hairstyle, but not absolutely necessary to get the end result.
If you have hair like Katie’s, ask your hairdresser to cut a mid length bob with layering throughout and lots of texture.

To style it, blow dry until 75% dry and then use a round brush to dry the rest into this style. Use a small amount of wax to get the texture and piecey-ness seen on Katie’s hairstyle.

If your hair is thick and wavy like mine, you’ll want to ask your hair dresser for basically the same thing but have them add additional texture to get this hairstyle to lay just right. I would suggest blow drying with a paddle brush and flat ironing hair, flipping out the ends. Use a bit of pomade on the ends to add texture and shine.

If you have thin and/or fine hair, you’ll want to ask for layering but have your hair dresser go easy on the texturizing as it can thin out your hair too much. Use a root amplifier like Sexy Hair, Big Sexy Hair Root Pump or other volumizing products, instead of texturizing hair products, which may weigh down your hair, to create Katie’s mid length hairstyle.

This new mid length hairstyle has got to be my favorite ‘Katie Holmes’ hairstyle. Here’s a look back at past Katie Holmes Hairstyles:

Katie Holmes’ Dawson’s Creek Era Hair

This hairstyle is just ho-hum. Long, one-length light brown hair doesn’t do much for this girl.

Katie Holmes’ Long Hairstyle before Marrying Tom Cruise

Although this long hairstyle is youthful, it still isn’t the ideal hairstyle for Katie.

Katie’s Short Hairstyle  Turned Heads

Although I thought this was a bold hairstyle for Katie to go to, I think there were better styles to come on her.

Longer Hair Thanks to Temporary Hair Extensions

I have to say I love this look on Katie. Dramatic color along with a beautiful and modern hairstyle is a great look.Overall, Katie’s latest mid length hairstyle is my favorite. I like it so much that I think this will be my next new ‘do!

A hair remedy solution that works!
“Looking For a Hair Remedy?”

Reportedly, about one in five people have tried at least one hair remedy for dandruff sometime in their life. Even though dandruff is a harmless condition, it can be both annoying and embarrassing for people who have it. Dandruff can be caused by a variety of things including an overproduction of a type of yeast on the scalp, stress, sickness and even the change of seasons.

A hair remedy that I recommend to my clients for dandruff and itchy scalp is Redken Dandruff Control. The active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, works to reduce flaking, irritation and itching according to Redken. The Redken Dandruff Control line also has a conditioner and leave-in treatment.
Oily Scalp/Hair

Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo

Oily scalp and/or hair are another issue I see regularly in the salon. Typically I tell my clients to go at least two days without shampooing, but my clients who have oily scalp/hair complain that they can’t without looking like an oil slick.

Did you know that frequent shampooing can actually contribute to oily hair and scalp?   Shampooing everyday can strip the hair and scalp of its natural oils and protectants, which triggers your hair follicles to produce more oil . . . and the pattern goes!

Try using a ‘dry shampoo’ like Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo in-between shampoos to soak up excess oil. Also, when applying conditioner, stay away from  the roots of your hair (this is a common mistake). Instead, concentrate the conditioner only on the effected hair.

One last option is to do a vinegar rinse every few weeks before shampooing. Using one part vinegar to four parts water, apply the solution to hair (avoiding scalp) and then shampoo and condition as normal.

Head Lice

Nix for head lice

When kids go back to school, they are susceptible to bringing home many different ‘catchy’ ailments of one type or another and head lice is one of them. Having head lice is NOT a result of poor hygiene, so don’t beat yourself up!  It’s an extremely contagious condition as the lice easily transport from one person to another. Signs of head lice can be itchiness and tiny yellowish-white eggs or lice that look like small sesame seeds attached to the hair.

Hair remedies for head lice include the tried and true over-the-counter head lice treatment shampoos like Nix. Nix Complete Lice Treatment System has proven to be the go-to shampoo for head lice for years! After using the shampoo, run a lice comb through your child’s hair to remove any lice or eggs and then be sure to wash all bedding, clothing, hats, etc. in very hot water to make sure you are rid of all the little creatures!
