Best Beauty: NY Fashion Week fashion, makeup, model's hair, updo | (1)
I've been meaning to post this forever! I loved these woven side braids from Alexandre Herchcovitch's show at New York Fashion Week. And even though I just said I was all about undone hair, these glamorous waves at Mackage are enough to change my mind. So perfect. I would love to just wake up with my hair looking exactly like this every single day. Leeeeeeeee sigh. These loopy buns from Luca Luca are 50% I just got done working out, 25% grandma, and 25% I made more at this fashion show than you made in the last 6 months. Thakoon showed fabric-woven buns ...

Hairstylist Mandy Lyons, of Sally Hershberger Downtown, has created the gorgeous hairstyles of Sarah Jessica Parker and Parker’s alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw for the last eight years. ELLE was granted an exclusive interview with Mandy and discovered what went on behind the scenes of Sex and the City 2. ELLE: How have Carrie’s hairstyles changed since the last SATC movie? Mandy Lyons: Now that Carrie’s married, we wanted her hair to be more grownup and sophisticated. You’ll see that for the bulk of the movie, she wears these big brushed-out waves that are very glamorous--we don’t normally do that to her hair. ...

Thoughts On Vanessa bun, celebrity hairstyles, fashion, hair products | (3)
I have a couple of things to say about this snap of Vanessa Hudgens arriving at a meeting in Hollywood today: First of all, I feel better about myself that Vanessa leaves the house with her hair like this. Bun-on-top-of-the-head is very me. I mean, I love perfectly put together hair, but that shiz takes effort and a lot of the time most of the time, I just wash it, throw some Moroccanoil in and go. Hence, the bun. Anyway, VanHudg is "just" like us! Only, you know, she makes millions of dollars per movie. Also, what do you guys think of ...

How To: Runway Hair From Charlotte Ronson bun, celebrity hairstylist, fashion, how to, model's hair, updo | (0)
The hair at the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 New York Fashion Week show was created by lead Avon hair stylist Allen Ruiz. The inspiration for the look was a remake of 80’s style. Allen created the fresh, young wispy look, that mirrors Charlotte Ronson’s collection. He says he wanted a “just walked out of dance class at Julliard” vibe. Allen loves the look because he says, "Spring is all about wearing your hair up and away from your face. Wearing your hair up in a bun creates a youthful, fresh look that is easy-to-achieve." Allen was kind enough to give us ...

Beautiful Mess bun, celebrity hairstyles, model's hair, updo | (0)
It looks like Jessica Stam got off the runway, dug through a dumpster in the alley, and put on whatever she could find. That said, she looks amazing. The bun! Dying. I wish a little birdie would fly down and perch on it.

Lazy Hair bun, updo | (0)
It's Sunday afternoon and I'm home chilling with the boy + the cat... It's been a long week at beauty school, and I feel like relaxing on my day off. But I still want cute, low effort hair. It's just long enough to pull back into a bun again. (I've been growing it out since cutting it into a chin-length bob last year.) Buns are great for lazy hair because they're easier to do when your hair isn't freshly washed. Simply gather your hair into a lowish ponytail, twist the tail, coil, and tuck the ends. Pin the bun into place ...
