04.16.10Jonathan Product Infinite VolumeI love Jonathan Antin. He's one of my all-time favorite reality show characters, and he was brilliant on this season of Shear Genius! I also consistently love his line of hair products. I use regularly and love his Prep Spray and my fiance uses his Green Rootine Pure Paste. Jonathan Product recently launched a new Infinite Volume collection that includes a shampoo, conditioner, and thickening foam. They contain something called "expansion nanotechnology", according to the info it's: an interpenetrating polymer network delivery system that utilizes chemical and electromagnetic forces to expand and strengthen the hair shaft creating volume from the inside ...

04.09.10Interview with Matthew from Shear GeniusHair On The Brain: Congratulations on making it to the top three! Matthew: Thank you. HOTB: What were you thinking when you were standing in front of the judges with Brig and Janine. Did you have a sense of what was coming next? Matthew: No, not really because you never really know what they’re going to like until they say it. They have pretty good poker faces. HOTB: Were you surprised with the outcome? Matthew: No. I mean, it makes perfect sense for television. After the break, Matthew dishes on which judge had a man crush on him and what he really think of Brig's win. ...

04.08.10Shear Genius Winner: Brig!Crazy like a fox, Shear Genius Season Three winner Brig Van Osten out played the rest of the contestants. Check out what she had to say for herself in our interview! Hair on the Brain: Congratulations on winning Shear Genius. Were you expecting the win or were you shocked? Brig: I was completely shocked. I thought there was no way the judges were going to appreciate [the runway hair]. I knew Jonathan wouldn’t. But I looked at it and I loved it, because I had never seen anything like it before. I pulled something out that wasn’t inspired by someone else’s hair. ...

04.07.10Antin TVTonight is the Shear Genius finale, but we may not be done with the show's judge, Jonathan Antin. Word is that Jonathan is gearing up for another reality TV show. Which would be awesome. Life has never been the same since Blow Out ended. ;) Jonathan recently told StyleList, "I have a new line coming out called Jonathan Antin Hair Care, I'm opening a new Jonathan Antin Salon, and I just signed a deal for a new TV show. I'm reinventing myself! I can't wait until more details come out about Jonathan's new show... One thing is for sure: There can never ...

04.01.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant JonAlthough Jon Steinick looks like an evil genius in his promo shot from last night's Shear Genius, he's actually super good natured and kinda zen--er, zen after 15 espresso shots, of course!) Check out my interview with Jon where he dishes on which judge's photograph was on his bedroom wall in high school, what fellow contestant wowed him, and (yes) what he thought of Brig... Hair On The Brain: Congratulations on making it to the final four! Jon: Thank you, thank you thank you. HOTB: I was bummed that you were eliminated last night. Jon: You were? (Laughs) It’s funny because it was my ...

03.04.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant AmyLast night on Shear Genius... Well, I almost lost my mind screaming at the television. Brig WON you guys. I hope there is some kind of model assistance program sponsored by Orlando Pita for Brig's models because she's straight up terrorizing hair. Shaving the back of her model's head in the Short Cut Challenge? Those intense upswing bangs in the Elimination Challenge? Those are not livable bangs. They are just not. Someone needs to slow her down with the theatrics. Remember: Hair is important! And sadly, Amy Michleb--the youngest and totally cutest contestant on Shear Genius--was sent to pack her shears. ...

02.25.10Shear Genius Episode 4 RecapOK, bad news first. No exit interview with this week’s booted Shear Genius contestant Adee… He isn’t doing interviews. Hmm. Is he scared what we might have to say to him? I was going to try to be nice! Since there is no interview, let’s do an episode recap and then there is a special treat, so check back later... First up was the Short Cut Challenge, which featured celebrity stylist Harry Josh--otherwise known as the guy who does Gisele Bundchen’s hair. The stylists had to incorporate fresh flowers into their hairstyles, and try to make the hair and flowers look ...

02.18.10Interview with Shear Genius Eliminated Contestant Faatemah!Did you see last night's Shear Genius? It was a super amazing episode, as always. Ken Paves pops up for the Shortcut Challenge, and the stylists have to give extensions to men--with varying degrees of success. The Elimination Challenge forces the stylists to work in teams, although Brig works alone because no one likes her. They style models for sexhay romance novel covers, and Mathew and Janine's team wins. Yay! With Mathew winning top prize for the night. Sadly, one of my favorites, Faatemah, is sent home, when clearly Adee should have gotten the boot for not even completing the ...

02.11.10Interview with Janine from Shear Genius Season 3!Are you guys watching this season of Shear Genius? Last night was the second episode of the season, and if you’re into hair, you must check out this show. While it’s on, I'm in my happy place. In one hour, Orlando Pita, Jonathan Antin, Kim Vo are all doling out hair styling advice, there are major hair tragedies happening, plus, serious hair mastery. Brilliant! Faithful HOTB readers may remember that I interviewed Irene from Hairroin Salon in Hollywood about the rad short haircut she gave Karla of Karlascloset.com. Well, the owner of Hairroin Salaon, Janine Jarman, is on Shear Genius and ...
