Insanely addictive.
Last night the FiFi Awards highlighted the top fragrances of the year, but it was Nicole Richie's updo that really stole the show. "For the awards we wanted to put Nicole's hair up, but make it different than the topknot we do often," explained stylist Charley Brown. "[We wanted] something larger to balance the drama of the dress, but keeping it chic, cool, and easy." And while the design looks Read more
One thing's for sure: Kristen Stewart knows how to mix things up. At the Snow White and the Huntsman premiere in London earlier today, not only did Kristen mix the edgy with the ethereal, but she also incorporated silver and gold elements to complement her black lace Marchesa. Silvery shadows and nail polish played nicely against her twisted bun, which was dressed up with a gold chain woven Read more
Perfectly imperfect updos look so fresh and fun, not just on the red carpet, but for any old night out on the town. Last night at the Source Code premiere, Vera Farmiga, with the help of Suave Professionals celebrity stylist Jenny Cho, wore her hair in a windswept updo that had just the right amount of tousle. To see Cho's instructions on how to get the carefree style using products from the Read more
Spotted on stars such as Freida Pinto, Keri Hilson, and Anna Chlumsky, the deep sweep varies from extreme parting (like Freida's), to pulled almost all the way over to the side (à la Keri), to completely pinned back to the other side (on Anna). Not only does the retro-inspired style have panache, but it provides a great way to disguise (or enhance) windblown hair. The look has also appeared on Read more
Celebrities are rocking electric colors on nails, lips, and even hair this Spring (a trend so bright even the paparazzi need shades). Seen here on Kate Bosworth, Beth Reisgraf, and Amber Rose, pink is only one of the possibilities when it comes to choosing a neon hue. Kate chose to wear her watermelon color in a matte formula with barely there makeup and tousled curls, while Beth dressed up her Read more
A soft chignon creates a look that's equal parts poise and glamour, and stars like Lea Michele and Carrie Underwood have both been spotted wearing the elegant style. But is it possible to get the look on hair that's more fine than full? We brought celebrity stylist J.D. from Juan Juan Salon in to show us how to get the perfect low bun — even if you don't have a lot of hair to work with. See how Read more
Emma Stone had the perfect makeup and updo at the Oscars: tasteful and chic, but still young and a little different. For the hair, celebrity stylist Mara Roszak got inspired by the blousy bow on Emma's red Giambattista Valli gown. "The bow on the dress reminded me of a flower," Roszak says, "and the bun in the back went from ear to ear to look like a flower with a loose and fresh feel." To Read more
An easy updo is the perfect hairstyle for day or for night, so Team Zoe's Joey Maalouf is showing us how to get the sexy, tousled look he often gives his celebrity client Molly Sims. With just a few easy steps — and only a ponytail tie and some bobby pins — you can get this chic, beachy look. Try it for day with a tee and a blazer or rock it at night with a cocktail frock for some of Sims's Read more
A half-up coiffure is the perfect go-to look when updos seem just a bit too formal. This week, the red carpet was rife with these in-between hairstyles of sorts, with stars like AnnaLynne McCord, Lily Collins, and Ahna O'Reilly all wearing their own take on the look. For AnnaLynne, her half-up hair received a bit of a twist, with a portion in the back coiled around the base of her hair elastic. Read more
Updos and braids are a combination made in formal-hair heaven, but they usually only work one of a few ways: wound around in a chignon, pinned up in a milkmaid braid, or French braided back. At The Lorax premiere, though, Taylor Swift stunned the crowd with a messy, textured braid/low chignon combination that was unlike anything we'd ever seen before. In practice, it actually seems pretty easy to Read more
