The yearlong Hope Is Standard campaign unites the salon professional community within the fight against diabetes to lift awareness and funds for what is mostly a career-threatening disease for stylists.

Diabetes affects one in every 12 Americans and is a career-threatening disease to hairdressers. To elevate awareness for research, care and a cure, Reuben Carranza, CEO of Wella North America, partnered with City of Hope—a world leader in breakthrough medical technology.

Blue is the universal color of diabetes, so a distinct shade of blue was created to function the official color of the Hope is standard Campaign.

For this collection, Wella artist Alexandra Matiz and Sebastian artist Marylle Koken planned to add a blue panel to honor the campaign but were inspired by the movement on this model’s hair and decided to make a more dramatic statement.

“We chose to exploit her hair shape and color to mirror waves—crashing waves—that show different shades of blue because the color ‘crashes’ down the movement of the waves within the hair,” Koken says.

true blue How-To

After an intense consultation, Matiz began the colour process using two different lifting formulas to feature variations of color, and two blue shades—a light indigo and a blue/green. The shades were diluted with developer and processed for various lengths of time.

“My goal with using the several lighteners, dilutions and processing times was to create quite a few shades inside the hair to honor the shades of the blues within the sea that are irregular and organic,” Matiz says. “It seems like I used four or five formulas, after I only used two.”

STEP 1: Place a slice on foil from a horizontal section along the parietal bone. Feather lightener Blondor Soft with 13-volume developer from off scalp to ends.

STEP 2: Cover with foil.

STEP 3: Balayage above the rounds of the pinnacle using Magma, equal parts /89 + /07 with 40-volume developer. Take “wave” subsections and balayage the peaks of the wave, getting as near to the roots as possible.

STEP 4: Process until hair within the foils reaches a degree 10. Shampoo and condition.

STEP 5: Return to the previously lifted areas. Place the hair on a balayage board and apply Koleston Perfect: 1 part 0/28 + 6 parts Pastel developer.

STEP 6: As you figure up the top, alternate with Koleston Perfect: 2 parts 0/88 + 1 part 0/65 + 10 parts Pastel developer. The more developer you add into these formulas, the lighter the colour. Sometimes the colour was processed quickly to succeed in different variations of blue tones. Rinse with cool water to stop colors from overlapping. After rinsing, apply Magma Color Complete for 5 minutes.

STEP 7: To style, curl with an iron, pin to set.

Hairstyles trends for men 2014

Although there are various hairstyles for women, there are three hairstyles that will catch trend for most part of this year. They are as follows:

1. Dreadlocks – Dreads did well for the whole of previous year, 2013, and it is expected that it will continue to be in trend in the current year. It is not only the opinion of some mens hairdressers Northampton hairdressers but some of the leading hair stylists think the same way. The versatility of the dreadlocks is its speciality. Some of the popular ones to be in trend are cornrows.

2. Loose Waves – The loose waves hairstyle was much in trend during the nineties, and it seems that it is back in fashion. A lot of men are being seen in this hairstyle as it is very easy to carry. It does not require much hard work and can be easily put up into a big bouncy quiff too.

A short and spiky style will look good on any guy irrespective of the length of his hair.

Matthew Morris, owner of the Matthew Morris Salon and Skincare in Denver, Colorado, was one in all 20 hairdressers invited to create the classic looks for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, taped last night in NYC. The highly rated show would be shown on December 10 on CBS.

This is third time Morris “did” the VS show.  He has done hundreds of favor shows as a member of the support team for superstar Orlando Pita, but for Morris, “This was by far my favorite. This was one of the most relaxed show we’ve ever done. It was actually fun!” Morris and the remainder of the Orlando team had lots of time to have that fun. They arrived at 7:30 within the morning and wrapped by 9 pm. The artists have about one hour with each model (there are 40), but they should allow time for interviews and behind the curtain activities. Two shows are taped in the course of the day and every model should be re-done for every show.

MODERN chatted with Morris after the tapings to get his true backstage report and asked him for among the insider scoop which he willingly shared. Here he answers 5 burning questions:

1. MSM: What’s the key to making that classic Victoria’s Secrets look?

MM: “Lots of extensions. Of the 40 models, there’s only 1 that doesn’t use extensions. A number of the girls have already got them but we’ve plenty available, however we like it when a model shows up together with her own extensions.  We don’t use clip ins, but bonded for the show. So far as wrapping is bothered, we wrap diagonally from the face, alternating direction with a 1 ½ inch barrel curling iron. The bottom line is to create a natural fall with shiny, healthy, full hair.”

2. MSM:  Any surprises during this show?

MM: “This year the VS team embraced different lengths of hair. During the past it’s always been long. For this show we also have a bob! We left it it’s natural length, but made it fuller.”

3. MSM: What’s the better part of the show for you?

MM: “It is barely a lot fun in a peaceful environment. There’s not the tension in a standard fashion week show.  The Victoria’s Secret show gets the perfect of the simplest, from the neatest hairdressers to the right make up artists to the right models, food, even security! Everyone there’s a pro and all of us trust one another. Nobody drops the ball. It doesn’t feel like work. It’s like going to a celebration along with your friends.”

4. MSM: That is the primary time a pro salon company, ghd, was invited to sponsor the Victoria’s Secret show. Did that fluctuate anything for you?

The color strategy of balayage has spread like wildfire through the U.S. as a must-have at top salons in the course of the country. Originating in France, the French coloring technique was developed inside the 1970s and the colour is applied using freehand in preference to by means of cap highlighting or traditional foiling techniques. The technique allows the colour to offer their clients natural looking highlights that do not leave a fantastic line of demarcation, so the grow out process looks more natural.

“Not all salons offer traditional French balayage, leaving many ladies exiting salons thinking they got the “real deal”– but didn’t,” says Chicago’s Maxine Salon, Josh Shores. Here, he offers MODERN five things about balayage you’ve got not known before. Here’s to teaching your clients the reality behind the service! 

The 2013 L’Oreal Professionnel Balayage Hair Collection

#1. The definition of balayage itself is a French word meaning scanning or sweeping.

#2. True French balayage will not be done using any foil or meche strips (that is often done within the US and called balayage).

#3. French balayage may be painted vertically, keeping the colour only at the top of the hair strand, then layering extensive at the ends. Never should or not it’s brushed or pushed down the hair!

#4. French balayage is a highlighting technique, not a colour or shade.

#5. Real French balayage must always feel and look natural; a sleek messy even. Imperfection is vital. It’s the European finesse of the French, and being “cool” without trying.

Hair stylist Brenda Smith has invented a brand new approach to coloring hair using a clear applicator that achieves superior colour development due to the exposure to oxygen. Clear Visual Developments (CVD) replaces using tinfoil when coloring hair, allowing colorists to watch the change in color during the transparent material that holds the hair in an open loop.

The CVD loop is held in place with a specially designed clip. Product trials have shown that the loops and clips could be reused 50 times without discolouring, tearing or rupturing. The loops, that have been developed over a 12-month period so that you can determine the perfect micrometer for the loop, are durable and versatile. The CVDs have now been patented. The loops are sized for general and precision color application and trails showed they may be used on all hair types.

For additional information about Clear Visual Developments, visit http://clearvisualdevelopment.co.za/

Benefits of the product:

*Quick simple robust application (no folding and sealing or rupturing as per foil)

*Can apply without or with backing board

*Improved oxidation

*No heat acceleration required

*Near the foundation application 

*No blotching (there are not any folds using CVD’s)

*Normal processing time

*Can view color develop most likely head, improving color development management (CVD’s are transparent and therefore offer visibility to the whole color application) 

*May be used on any length of hair

*Stain free

*Don’t stain or rupture

*Easy to clean

*CVD’s could be reused normally over (depending on handling, current tests indicate over 50 times) and therefore offer huge cost savings.

Long hair swept to the side is still an important switch-as much as offer clients for his or her special occasions, as demonstrated ultimately week’s 2013 Country Music Awards (CMAs). Country darlings Danielle Bradbury and Lucy Hale both wore sideswept looks.

Of course, it’s not only the Nashville ladies who wear the look. Kate Beckinsale and Abigail Breslin have shown up rocking it in addition.

Carrie Underwood (photo by Larry Busacca/WireImage) However the CMAs did set a brand new bar—no one has worn luscious sideswept waves more beautifully than CMAs host Carrie Underwood, who must love the look because she wore it to the Emmy Awards, too, but with more side fringe. Here she is on the CMAs.

Here’s a how-to for Carrie’s latest version from Sandra Joseph and Angela Noreck of Pureology Serious Colour Care.

STEP 1: Lightly mist Pureology Colour Fanatic on damp hair for shine and warmth protection; then apply Rootlift spray mousse on the base and Silk Bodifier volumizing mousse from midshaft to ends.

STEP 2: After blow-drying with a medium round brush, secure each section into medium barrel curls with clips and permit to chill for 10 minutes.

STEP 3: Drop curls, and brush with a soft bristle brush.

STEP 4: Finish with Strengthening Control hair spray.

A twist at the look is the side pony, seen recently on young actress Grace Phipps, recording artist Estelle and hip-hop’s Becky G. For a fast how-to on ombre hair akin to Estelle’s, click here.

Kacey Musgraves (photo by Jason Davis/Getty Images) On the CMAs, it was Kacey Musgraves who sang in an aspect pony. Pureology’s Sandra Joseph and Angela Noreck also provide the how-to for that look.

STEP 1: Mist Pureology Highlight Stylist Sea-Kissed Texturizer on dry hair.

STEP 2: Braid hair into 4-6 sections to create texture, let the mist dry, release the braids and shake out the feel along with your fingers.

STEP 3: Apply Fresh Approach Dry Shampoo to the roots and lightly tease on the crown.

STEP 4: Gather hair to a low side pony, secure with an elastic and wrap a small amount hair round the pony to cover elastic and pin underneath.

STEP 5: Finish with Fresh Approach Dry Conditioner to polish and smooth.

This season, haute couture meets high-end hair care as Alterna Hair Care joins the team at Project Runway All Stars for the 1st time. Led by Global Creative Director Michael Shaun Corby, Corby works backstage with the show’s designers to execute weekly hair styles. MODERN got an exclusive interview with Corby and asked him about his experiences at the show.

Tune into Project Runway every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST to determine the exciting styles come to life.

Tell us about Alterna and Project Runway’s partnership? How did it start? What does this mean for Alterna?

Alterna Hair Care was making waves around the globe for several years now. However, this year we made plenty of buzz with the announcement of Katie Holmes as our co-owner. When the chance came from Project Runway All Stars, it was a natural fit because our co-owner was already a chum of the show. Katie Holmes was a guest judge on last season’s finale. It was also a chance to essentially highlight the artistry of pro hair stylists.  We couldn’t pass down the exciting opportunity to be part of this great show on primetime television! Alterna was part of fashion for a long time, but now we get to expose the area what we do backstage.

Walk us through a regular day on Project Runway. From concept to creation of a designer’s look, what was the “hair process” like?

The most surprising thing i’m able to inform you is that it’s actually all real. Before I worked at the show, i assumed perhaps there have been some smoke and mirrors involved and that show would allow a protracted window of time to create such demanding hair styles. In reality you simply have half-hour, and if the make-up takes 40 minutes then you definitely only have 20 minutes for hair. i used to be allowed to take a fast peek on the dresses which helped me envision the hair style i wished to create. Also, the interviews with the designers were very helpful, even though we needed to start from scratch when their minds would sometimes change half way in the course of the completion of the styles. i’m thankful I had any such great team which can work with me to make it work even if time wasn’t on our side!

How long did it is advisable talk to all of the designers?

I had not up to one minute to refer to with each designer. Designers are really sequestered and getting any time with them and even getting near them is impossible until the cameras are rolling.  i attempted to be fair and provides each designer an identical quantity of time but sometimes the clock was running out and we just needed to jump in and make it happen.

What was probably the most challenging part about being at the show?

For me, the foremost challenging a part of the show was the instant a designer changed their mind on what they wanted and we had as low as five minutes to change the look.  i must admit that on multiple occasion, I made the manager decision to go away the fashion as previously discussed and pray that Isaac liked it and so they didn’t get voted off.

Did you ever have any “uh oh” moments? How did you fix them?

Many! A few of them would give away the show if I told you but this is one who i will be able to speak of. i used to be working with one of the vital celebrities and got a choice that i used to be needed on stage to envision on one of the crucial models. Suddenly while i used to be backstage, they called “Rolling-quiet at the set!” but my celebrity was only half way done and that i was stuck on a very different set unable to get out and come again to her! I waited patiently and used my iPhone to prevent a complete mishap but my nerves were shot and that i was sweating bullets for no less than 20 minutes afterwards.

What was the main rewarding part about being at the show?

The most rewarding thing about being at the show is with a view to create the best style to go with the incredible looks at the show. Seeing all of it come together on camera and knowing that we did it and we made it happen and we rocked it for 19 million viewers to determine is amazingly exciting!

Do you’ve got a favourite hair style design that involves mind should you think back?

My favorites were braids and high ponytails. We actually did something original with either one of these looks. Most individuals think that there’s not much you are able to do with a ponytail and braids but wait until you spot what team Alterna did.

What advice do you might have for other stylists in the event that they ever ought to discuss with a certified designer?

I learned after the first actual show that, while they’re very talented, designers of clothing aren’t designers for hair. It’s miles as much as the stylists to lead them and advise them on what hair style will best suit the look.  i actually stood my ground on several occasions to fight for what I knew would look best. After, i’d hear the judges compliment the hair and that i would get just a little tingle of pride knowing that we made that happen and we fought for what we do best…amazing hair transformations!
