Want to find out more about how he created her look, what it's like working with her extensions, and what he does to keep her hair healthy? Then just read on.

Which New Moon Premiere Hairstyle Looks Best on Kristen?

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:15:00 -0800

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner kicked off the world wide press tour for New Moon on Tuesday in Paris. Kristen arrived in a girly, flesh-toned dress with her hair styled all down and parted in the centre. The following day in London, she wore her hair up, and last night at a fan event in Madrid, her hairstyle was more rocker looking with her fringe parted on the opposite side, and her layers less wispy.

Bellissima! Garren New York Fragrance For Hair

BellaSugar — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 12:06:24 -0700

Picture this: You've got ten minutes before your guests arrive for your dinner party and you absolulely reek of saffron. Aah! There's no time to shower, but that doesn't mean you can't freshen up and get the cooking stench out of your hair. Garren New York, the mane man with more than 1,000 magazine covers to his credit, owner of Garren New York Salon and the current “Ask the Expert” columnist for Allure, has launched four hair fragrances.

These scents for your strands are a result of Garren being asked my many of his high-profile clientele for a product to refresh the smell of their hair in between blowouts. Not only do they liven up your locks, they also protect hair from UV rays while adding shine.

The hair fragrances, along with the ten other creative products in the Garren New York hair collection, are extremely delicate and contain essential vitamins, proteins and natural plant extracts to help cleanse, condition and style the hair.

They cost $35 each and are available in four scents: Golden Woods, Citrus Shimmer, Sheer Fig and Cattleya Orchid. To learn more about each of the hair fragrances, read more

Golden Woods is a light, clean and warm golden woods and citrusy unisex fragrance formulated to deliver long-lasting scent and luminous shine.
Citrus Shimmer is a fresh and fruity mandarin, glimmering greens and ivory musk unisex fragrance.
Sheer Fig is a beautiful and calming blend of dewy florals, airy fig and sheer woods.
Cattleya Orchid is a delicate fragrance made from orchids, yuzu and magnolia petals with a background of rainlily and sandalwood.

Love It or Hate It? Topshop's Sequined Top Hat Clip

BellaSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:00:12 -0800

The holidays are all about amping it up, trying looks that aren't part of your everyday routine, and sequins, of course. Recently, while perusing holiday hair accessories, I came across this Sequin Top Hat Clip ($18) from Topshop. It has pearls. It has glitz. It's definitely got a whole lot of kitsch, and I could totally envision it being an appropriate New Year's Eve accessory. What do you think? Does this sparkly top hat have just the right amount of quirkiness, or is it simply too over the top?

New Product Alert: Caviar Anti-Aging Hair Masque

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 08:00:37 -0800

With the season changing at warp speed, hair is at serious risk of moisture loss. This can lead to dull strands and brittle split ends. Now is a good time to start giving yourself a hair treatment anywhere from once to twice a week, depending on the condition of your hair. If you are looking for a new product to try, Alterna has just come out with a Caviar Anti-Aging Hair Masque ($40).

This color-safe treatment is made with seasilk, a patented group of marine botanicals. Together, they promise to prevent breakage and combat dryness by delivering moisture to your hair and scalp. I've used it once already, but I want to give it one more whirl before sharing my review. So stay tuned, because I'll have plenty to say about it soon!

Agyness Shows Off New Bob

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Just when we thought that New York Fashion Week couldn't show us any more hair surprises, Agyness Deyn stole the limelight from Victoria Beckham by unveiling her brand new bob yesterday at the shows. It's typical of on-trend Agyness to have updated her look, just when it seemed everyone was copying her crop.

This new, short, yet sharp cut looks striking with Agyness' bleach blonde colour and has a retro feel that brings to mind the flapper girls of the 20's. It's also more groomed, feminine, shiny and polished than her previous spiky, street-chic cut.

The haircut debuted at the Michael Kors show and was teamed with matte red lipstick and dark brows. I really like it, however, I'm sure it won't be long before she changes it again - the the girl does love to experiment.

New Product Alert: Get Beach Head with Fudge Hair Shaper Light

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Street-style brand Fudge, are best known for their bed-head-creating styling products. This summer, their best-selling Fudge Hair Shaper – which has been on the market for a whopping sixteen years – has two new variations for us to fall for.

Traditionally, the Fudge Hair Shaper has been beloved by both girls and guys, for that beach head, messy, just got out of bed look. It delivers lots of texture and hold, so is ideal for creating sculptured hair looks, such as the quiff or Agyness Deyn-alike short, spiky styles.

The sticky, multi-purpose styling tool, now comes in a mint scent, for a just-washed, fresh feel – as well as the new Fudge Hair Shaper Light, (£5.95).

This gives a much lighter hold than the original Shaper. It's ideal if you have with longer hair, that doesn't need the super-hold of the original product – or if your short hair is very fine. It smells sickly sweet, like a berry smoothie.

The mini tubes, just 50ml, make them ideal for traveling as well – so your beach hair will feel right at home!

Get Kate Moss Hair on the Cheap

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

It's hard not to carry on our obsession with Kate Moss, especially as she looks so fresh-faced and pretty on the cover of Vogue this month. Now you can emulate the supermodel's trademark blonde locks for the bargain price of just £10. Kate's hairdresser and all-round bezzy mate, James Brown, is launching a new shampoo and conditioner duo at Boots, this week.

As well as being Kate's mane man, James is also the coiffeur to a whole host of stars and has over twenty years experience on shoots. James did Kate's hair on the legendary 1992 Vogue cover, shot by Corinne Day, and at 22 was the youngest ever hairdresser to earn such a career distinction. While it'd be practically impossible (and expensive) to secure a cut and colour with the man himself, his James Brown London line is cheap as chips.

For why Kate Moss loves it, just read more.

The shampoo and conditioner duo is especially good if, like Kate, you have that typically British fine straight hair that's not overly thick. It adds volume and shine, as well making blonde hair look even brighter. I wouldn't recommend it for dry or very thick hair though. I'm used to a super-thick conditioner so out of the range only his Richly Moisturising Conditioner, (£5.99), works for my hair. Having said that, less thick-haired friends have waxed lyrical about the shampoo and conditioner duo, and if it's good enough for Kate...

Love It or Hate It? Kristen's New Moon Curls

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:30:00 -0800

Last night at the New Moon premiere in Los Angeles, leading lady Kristen Stewart wowed the red carpet in a long, purplish-grey, strapless Oscara de la Renta gown whilst her hair was styled half up, half down and wavy, an unusual look for the typically straight haired actress. The look had volume, pizazz and in my opinion makes her look slightly more mature.Vote below to let me know what you think of her red carpet hairstyle, and check out all the info you'll need to know about creating this look at home here!

A Tax on Cosmetic Surgery - Love It or Leave It?

TresSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:00:07 -0800

The Senate's proposed healthcare bill includes a novel approach to enhancing funding for reform: a five percent tax increase on cosmetic surgery. Procedures like tummy tucks, face lifts, hair plugs, collagen injections, Botox, or any other non-required procedure would get hit with the increase. The tax could raise as much as $6 billion.

If you think taxing superficial wealthy people to pay for the necessary health care of the poor sounds like a perfect idea, some people, namely cosmetic surgeons, say you got it all wrong. Statistics show that one-third of people who get plastic surgery make under $30,000 and 86 percent make less than $90,000. In addition, 85 percent of procedures are paid for by credit. So the tax would hit lower income people the hardest. Then again, maybe it makes sense to make cosmetic surgery even more out of reach in order to help fund basic healthcare needs. Still, more damaging to the cosmetic tax plan is the fact that a similar tax has so far failed in New Jersey, where it costs $3 trying to figure out what counts as "cosmetic" for every dollar raised from the tax.

Do you think the "botax" is worth a try?
