With his fellow Sexy Hair stylist Nadirah Volpe, Hardy conceived these looks as a method for stylists to provide versatility to long-haired styles without cutting.

“Texture is a fun method to enhance longer hair and there are such a lot of stuff you can do besides a ponytail and your typical upstyle. When you get a respectable set in there and you’ve got that foundation, versatility becomes much easier. Clients can wear the hair such a lot of other ways. She will do first day, then expand the feel at the second day and at the third day, pin it up.”

One model received a pretend-edge of braids while the subsequent had tri-texture—crimp, curl and braids.

Next, crimp the section at the right side, which extends from the tip of crown to top of the proper ear. click image to zoom Moving to the back of the pinnacle, wrap-curl each of the remaining using a curling iron. Maintain small sectioning for a consistent curl pattern. click image to zoom Break up the curls with a large-tooth comb, using pomade or a drop of oil for control. For this finish, some frizz complements the required texture. Using the crimped fringe section from step two, create a roll that rests at the forehead. Then, create a loose braid that stretches from ear to ear using the crimped hair from step two, secure with pins.

 

Kate Middleton (photo by Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images) Whether Kate Middleton ever becomes Queen of britain is still seen, but she’s already Queen of the Blowout, as demonstrated in this very recent pic. So long as Kate continues to like the blowout, other celebs will follow suit and the service will remain sought after. Kate’s sensible yet classy style, combined together with her girl-next-door story rising to royalty, keeps her the “hair” to the throne to observe.

If your blowout clients aren’t searching for Britishly regal style, there’s music royalty here within the USA. Pop perennial Avril Lavigne and country honey Taylor Swift both rock a chart-topping blowout after they are looking to.

Among the various actresses who decide on smooth not less than most of the time, Modern Family’s
small-screen princess Sofia Vergara looks stunning in a blowout, while naturally
straight-haired silver-screen goddess Gwyneth Paltrow achieves perfect “sleekability.”

The blowout is a brilliant win/win, since it gives clients a simple style option while giving you a service that you could book into even a hectic day. It brings the shopper into the salon more frequently, providing you with a raffle to prebook her next appointment and introduce her to a sample retail product.

A professional blowdry should last at the least three days, every day offering an extra look, in step with Sam Villa, founding partner of the Sam Villa brand and education artistic director for Redken 5th Avenue. Here’s how Sam does it:

DAY 1 (by the stylist within the salon)

STEP 1: Shampoo and condition, but apply the conditioner only from mid-shaft to ends while avoiding the basis area.

STEP 2: Mix a small amount of Redken satinwear 02 ultimate blow dry lotion with two drops of Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine and apply first to the ends, then the mid shaft to arrange hair for styling, protect against heat and help to scale back frizz.

STEP 3: After dividing the hair and clipping it in sections, blowdry using a Sam Villa Signature Series Styling Brush or Oval Brush and the E-T.C. Light Professional Ionic Hair Dryer.

STEP 4: Finish with Redken wax blast 10 high impact finishing spray wax to minimize frizz, add shine and hold volume.

DAY 2 (by the customer at home)

Spray Redken powder refresh 01 aerosol hair powder/dry shampoo at the roots, and comb through to increase the lifetime of the blow dry.

DAY 3 (by the customer at home)

Either:

Braid hair at the evening of day 2, remove the braids the morning of day 3 and split the hair with the fingers to create organic texture,

or

After applying Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil, define a low side part, brush hair back and secure right into a smooth, soft, shiny ponytail.

 

When Joico Guest Artist Eric Mayes set about seeking inspiration for the gathering that he will be creating on behalf of jcpenney salons for the newly-created men’s category of the North American Hairstyling Awards, his first thought was the talented designer and director, Tom Ford. Not Ford’s work, however the man himself, whose personal style is the final word in masculinity, fashion and comfort.

“One of the foremost interesting trends in men’s hair at present is that many men’s shapes and methods are influencing women’s trends—think Miley Cyrus!”

click image to zoom LOOK #1: The 1940s meets punk couture due to classic undercutting and extreme disconnection.

The cut: The head is sectioned off with an asymmetric triangular parting from the temple to an offset point to 1 side of the crown. The edges and back were cropped with a scissor-over-comb technique, and the sides were refined with a clipper fade. To keep up maximum length within the disconnected top section, cut from shorter to long from the crown to front hairline.

The style: To texturize this model’s fine hair, Mayes created small subsections through the top, braided each with a 3-strand braid, misted each braid with finishing spray and pressed it between the plates of a flat iron. Once the hair cooled, he separated each braid with a tail comb, brushed through to release the feel, applied dry shampoo on the scalp for buoyancy and sprayed with more finishing spray.

click image to zoom LOOK #2: A classic masculine silhouette with elongated movement and texture.

The cut: The hair was sectioned from the recession along the parietal, just past the middle crown. Starting on the front hairline on the sides, he created subsections that mimicked the natural shape of the hairline, and created a square shape following the contour of the top. Once the silhouette was established, aggressive point cutting released weight and bulk and produced texture and movement.

The style: Eric applied medium hold styling gel to damp hair and directed all strands from back to front together with his fingers. Once hair was dry, he sprayed dry shampoo and used Joico Crème Wax Texure & Shine to supply separation within the hair.

click image to zoom LOOK #3: Full, lush and sexy!

The cut: This full-textured hair was cut with a slight taper at the sides and back that was incorporated into the natural hairline. Mayes lifted the tip sections straight up and point-cut to intensify the natural texture.

The style: A medium hold gel was applied to the perimeters and back sections and worked Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam throughout the top sections. He blew the hair dry with a cushion brush, wrapping it across the head for a smooth finish. Once strands were dry, he directed all the hair back, worked in a small amount of glossing polish and finished with a versatile hair spray.

Color shock is a straightforward option to give a vacation look some zing! Remember the hint-of-blue white
that Nicole Richie wore to the Met Gala last spring? And you’ll always expect Kesha to light
up the night as she did with this multi-pastel color on the recent AMAs.

Lizzie Caplan (photo by Jim Spellman/WireImage) Then there are your more timid clients who approach the brink only while holding onto something solid. For them, playing up the perimeter is usually a welcome suggestion. Show them the look worn by Lizzie Caplan of Showtime’s edgy Masters of Sex series. “Lizzie’s timeless, mid-length bob within the back with slightly asymmetrical sides is, was and should always be edgy!” says Indiana salon owner Nick Ciarletta, who has his own product line in addition to being a guest artist for Cricket’s Centrix line of styling tools. Nick offers steps to recreate the look:

STEP 1: Color the hot growth a medium brown that evolves into slightly lighter red-brown ends.

STEP 2: Cut long layers with a deep point-cut texturizing strategy to maximize styling options.

STEP 3: Use a twist-cut strategy to cut front fringe with a 1660 texturizing shear, with the intention to create controlled but uneven lines for a disheveled look.

 

Wella Top Artist Nicole Leal of Salon Nine Zero One in L. a. was inspired by the nice and cozy tones and braid within the Bronze Opulence Updo from the Olympics collection to offer her client Suzanne a blinding warm copper that’s perfect for winter.
