Which Super Has the Sassiest Wink?

Over-the-knee boots are the sexiest boot to dominate in a while. This is what happens when you put three Supers in them, and only them. On the Winter '09 cover of i-D Magazine, the three show us their winking prowess. Makes you want to practice yours, huh? If I were to adopt a winking style based on this, I think I'd go the Claudia route - pure, unabashed flirtation. Eva's is more a bedroom eyes approach, while Helena subtly reveals one gorgeous green eye. They all have wild, curly glam hair and show just enough skin, but which Super has the sassiest wink?

More Tips For Making Curly Hair Gorgeous

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:00:19 -0700

Years ago, when hair expert Keneesha Hudson allowed her curly locks to go natural, it proved to be a positive experience. "I feel a great sense of freedom wearing my own hair," she told me. "It definitely has a much more organic feel to it. It doesn't hold me back from any activity - from anything," she added. As owner of Urbanbella salon in Atlanta, Keneesha educates women about embracing their own curl. She's already offered us tips on taking care of curly locks, as well as taming unruly strands, and now it's time for tips on cuts and styling. To find out her sage advice, just read more.

Recreate LC's Double Braids With Tips From Her Stylist!

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:15:56 -0700

Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be any more ways to wear braids, who better than trend-setting Lauren Conrad to bring us back in? At the Hollywood Style Awards last night in LA, the former reality show star styled her signature waist-length extensions in not just one side-braid, but two intersecting plaits. Celebrity stylist Byron Williams of the Byron and Tracey Salon created the look for Lauren, using her multihued frock as inspiration.

"We wanted to get it as narrow as possible because we didn’t want to overwhelm the dress," Williams said. "It was side-parted, and we French braided both sides. It’s kind of half-up, half-down." To finish off the look, he combined the two braids to create a "headband" in the back. Want some tips on getting the overlapping braids for yourself? Follow the link after the gallery.

How To: Cheryl Takes Pride in Her Beautiful British Hairstyle

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

The red carpet was filled with British beauties last night at the Pride of Britain Awards. Stars like Mel B. and Louise Redknapp showed up in colourful frocks, whilst Cheryl Cole arrived wearing a black corseted minidress and bold red lipstick (a trend we know still remains a fash pack fave). However, it was Cheryl's hair that had me doing a double take. Her curly, low ponytail was chic, sexy, voluminous and different than the other do's everyone else donned.

To find out how you can recreate her hair in four easy steps, including product suggestions, just read more.

STEP 1: Begin by washing and conditioning hair with a curl enhancing product like Mark Hill Salon Sexy Curls Shampoo and Conditioner (£4.99 for each).
STEP 2: Next, dry hair with a diffuser. When hair is 85 percent dry, apply a generous amount of Umberto Giannini Shapely Curl Friends Mousse (£4.69) from the roots to ends. Then, part hair to the side and using a two-inch curling iron, curl small sections of hair right up to the roots leaving the tongs in place for at least ten seconds. Secure the section with clips.
STEP 3: Remove the clips and let the curls fall loosely. Take a pinch more mousse and apply it to the roots and mid-lengths of the side that you are going to pull off of your face. Brush it back (not all of the way through as you don't want your curls on the ends to frizz) and secure the section with criss-crossing bobby pins.
STEP 4: Finally, use a clear elastic to hold the ponytail together loosely towards the middle-ends. Lastly, style the front of your hair that isn't pulled back and let a few tendrils fall. Finish with a heavy mist of Andrew Collinge Weightless Volume Thickening Hairspray (£4.20) all over.
