Who's Your Favorite Celebrity Hairstylist?

BellaSugar — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:16:37 -0700

Celebrities spend so much time in the hair and makeup chair that they become super-duper close to their clientele. Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox pal around together with friend and hairstylist Chris McMillan often, and Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves are best friends! I'm not that close to my hairdresser, but I do love him.

Your votes show that Mally Roncal is your favorite celebrity makeup artist, but who is your favorite celebrity hair stylist?

Jessica Simpson has been experimenting with her hair color lately. She went from bombshell blonde to a more serious brunette. Somewhere in between she and her famous hairstylist buddy, Ken Paves, played with low lights to add depth and pale highlights just around her face for a sexy and soft effect. So tell me, which hair color do you prefer on her?

How To: Get Jessica Simpson's Summer Braids

BellaSugar — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:03:26 -0700

This How To is for those of you who have written in asking me about the cute summer braids Jessica Simpson was seen wearing yesterday and again over the weekend. This style is great for summertime, because it's quick, easy and it gets your hair off of your face. It can be created on wet or dry hair, no sticky styling product is required and it is a great option for those of you who have bangs in that awkward in between stage. All you need are two hair clips and two hair elastics.

Step 1: Part your hair where it would naturally fall and divide the rest of your hair into three sections. The first is the front left which should be left loose for braiding, the second is the front right which will also be braided and the third is the rest of your hair which will not be braided. Clip the front right and the back of your hair so that you can begin braiding in a neat and organized way.
Step 2: Begin braiding the left front of your hair in either a reverse corn-row style braid or in an inverse, french style braid. Braid hair on an angle starting from your roots and working down toward your ear. As you work on each braid, incorporate strands in even amounts on either side of the braid so that your hair lies flatly and securely against your head.
Step 3: When you get to your ear, you shouldn't have any more hair to pick up, so finish the braid in a slightly looser style than the rest of your hair. Braid until the very end and secure with a hair-tie of your choice.
Step 4: Repeat steps two and three on the right front section of your hair. You can either leave the back loose or you can put it in a ponytail, a loose bun, a knot, a twist or a braid of its own!

Trend Alert: Visible Roots

BellaSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:00:08 -0700

Three women, three different ways to get down to the root of things. Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé, and Mary-Kate Olsen each have distinctive styles, but they share one thing in common: A refreshingly low-key attitude when it comes to touching up their roots. Each of these blonde stars can afford to have that "I just left a salon" kind of color, but letting a few roots show feels thoroughly modern - particularly in an economic cycle where pricey highlights are a luxury that many people can't take. So the next time you think about booking a color appointment, go ahead and postpone it a week or two. Judging by these trend-setters' hair, you'll be in good company.

BellaSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:00:29 -0800

A lot of times women like to change their look after a big breakup, and considering the public divorce that Jessica Simpson has undergone, she seemed to be focusing on getting in shape and changing her hairstyle a lot over the past year. I wasn't a huge fan of the brown-to-red era on Jess - I happen to like her best as a blond - but tell me, which is your favorite hairstyle/hair color on her?

Love It or Hate It? Jessica's Glitzy Glam

BellaSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 10:55:38 -0700

At last night's Poiret: King of Fashion Costume Institute Gala in New York, Jessica Simpson fully abandoned the natural look she's been sporting with John Mayer and went glitzy glam with bronzed skin, red hair, and very full red lips. What do you think?

How To: Perfect Plaits for Jennifer Ellison

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700

After designers showcased multiple braids this season, including the skinny pirate plaits at Jean Paul Gaultier, the braid could well be crowned the hair trend of the 2008. While most of you love this look it has become a touch ubiquitous in celebrity world, with both Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson making the trend their own, with single, double and triple braid styles.

Last night, at Dolce in London, Jennifer Ellison followed suit with a Grecian, milkmaid braid wrapped around the crown of her head, as well as a fluffed-up, pulled-back up do. Perhaps it was because the colours didn't seem to match, but there was something odd looking about this style that made me think it was a hair piece.

Admittedly, plaits can be tricky as you're walking the line between Little House on the Prairie and Grecian goddess. For a few easy tips, read more.

For a quick up do, follow Nicole Richie's lead with a braids and bun style. Simply take two sections at the front and plait so you have two long plaits falling on either side of your face. Then scrape hair back into a messy bun and pin. It's supposed to look slightly unkempt so don't be too neat.
For a flattering milkmaid braid, either use a hair piece that matches your hair colour correctly, like Sienna Miller, or wrap around the centre of your head, instead of the front, like Salma Hayek.
Use your centre parting as a guideline, then create two braided plaits and secure each braid with a small hair band. Aim to cross the plaits over the top of your head and secure each side with bobby pins.
For an easy, pirate plait look, just take random sections of hair and plait. Take from the underneath of your hair to make for an unstructured look.

Do You Wear Plaits?

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

The idea of plaiting your hair, once you're older than nine, can seem a little twee. No one wants to look like a school girl, with innocent plaited pigtails, but I have to admit I am quite fond of plaiting my hair.

It's such as easy style for summer and celebrities have been showing off plaited hair for a while now - just think of Jessica Simpson's single, double and triple braid looks in her blonde hair, while Nicole Richie often wears plaits with a bun.

Is this a look you'd actually wear? Do share...

Kate Moss and James Brown Are In A Hair Raising Row

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:23:02 -0800

Can this BFF rift really be true? For years, hairdressers and celebrities have been besties. Take Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves, Jennifer Aniston and Chris McMillan and SJP and Serge Norman for example. And, on this side of the pond, our favourite duo was Kate Moss and James Brown.

They've known each other since they were teens and have even become business partners launching a line of haircare products and a salon. However, apparently they're on the outs, and according to the Daily Mail, it's more than just a little row, the friendship could be in serious trouble. It appears that Kate is upset about how much airtime she got on James' Supermodel Salon TV documentary and when the Mail spoke with James at a Mulberry Made For Apple party, he said:

"She maintains her hair herself nowadays."
Friendship and business can get sticky, but I'm hoping these old pals can figure out a way to patch things up soon!
