10.28.11How To: Organic WavesWhen we were in Maui last month, I was reading an old Lucky magazine and came across an interview with hairstylist and makeup artist Sunnie Brook. In the article they mentioned her blog, so of course I had to check it out! And now I'm obsessed. Sunnie has lots of great hair and makeup advice and amazing tutorials. (Seriously, I've watched everything.) I love this one on how to create organic waves with a clipless curling iron. I don't have the patients to put this much effort into my hair on the regular. And, yes, this is what I consider a ...

03.26.11Bb.Texture In ActionBack in February I wrote about the soon-to-be debuted Bumble and bumble product Bb.Texture hair (un)dressing creme... And now over on Into The Gloss, they are further dishing on Bb.Texture and how it gives you that perfectly-imperfect je ne sais quoi hair that French girls have mastered. Into The Gloss was commissioned by Bumble to shoot Bb.Texture in action on 26-year old fashion stylist, Molly Kennedy. Via Gloss: "In Lanvin shades and an H&M--dare I say it--textured coat, looked like the Left Bank version of Penny Lane in Almost Famous. She’s a devotee of the Grooming Creme, Surf Spray, and now, ...

02.27.11Best Beauty: NY Fashion WeekI'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 ...

01.31.11Natalie & Mila at SAG AwardsDid you watch the SAG Awards last night? There are so many award shows during this time of year; it's hard to keep up! The King's Speech won a bunch of awards, but Natalie Portman nabbed best actress award for her role in Black Swan. Natalie and Mila Kunis also presented at the SAGs. Mila wore a soft, loose waves done by TRESemmé celebrity stylist Mara Roszak. She shares how to re-create Mila's look in a few simple steps: Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to wet hair. Part the hair slightly off-center and blow dry with a medium-sized round brush. Curl in ...

01.17.11How To: Megan’s Old Hollywood WavesI'm always a fan of old Hollywood waves, but I'm typically not a fan of Megan Fox’s fashion choices. (G-friend has been known to wear studded UGGs. Enough said.) But last night at the Golden Globes, Megan looked lovely in a pale pink Armani Prive gown + soft waves. My only minor critique is that the look could have used less extensions, but over all I like it. Megan’s side-swept style was created by celeb hairstylist Andy Lecompte. Here's how Lecompte achieve the look! How To: Megan's Old Hollywood Waves Lecompte started by applying Phyto Pro Intense ...

12.23.10How To: Romantic CurlsHow to get romantic curls from Jill Guzzo of Butterfly Studio via StyleCaster! Step 1: Start by applying a mousse like TRESemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse or a volumizing product to add body. Blow dry and then comb through the hair so all the product is dispersed from root to end. Step 2: Take your 1-inch curling iron and wrap hair around the barrel in small sections (always better to work smaller because you can always loosen out a curl). Step 3: Spray all of the curls with a flexible hold hairspray, like L'Oreal Elnett Satin. Step 4: Once the curls ...

12.18.10Hair Inspiration: Wavy BobA while back a HOTB reader requested a wavy/curly/bob inspiration, and I think Bianca Duenas has one of the most gorgeous examples of this style. By the way, if Bianca's name sounds familiar, it's because she dated (or is dating?) Gabe Saporta from the band Cobra Starship. Into The Gloss got the full report on Bianca's beauty routine. “I’m pretty simple," she says. "I wear my hair wavy because it’s low maintenance. Good cut and color go a long way. I see Sharon Dorram every six weeks or so." Check out Bianca's top beauty picks: Embryolisse Crème Hydratante à l’extrait d’orange - ...

12.17.10How To: Care For CurlsHair On The Brain reader Jill requested that I do a post on tips for curly haired girls based on Anne Hathaway's inspirational natural curls in Love & Other Drugs. Jill wrote that while she loves her own curls, sometimes they're hard to manage. She thinks that a lot of curly girls out there end up straightening their hair because they just don't know how to properly care for their gorgeous curls. I totally agree that there's a lack of good information out there for girls with curls. The majority of today's hair information & inspiration is skewed toward ...

12.03.10Natalie Portman’s HairstylesMy vote as one of the most beautiful actresses alive, Black Swan star Natalie Portman has had many hairstyles--and roles--over the years. ELLE.com highlights some of her best looks since her Hollywood debut in 1994. Which style do you like best on Natalie? Long and straight in 2008 or long with volume and layers in 2010. Gorgeous with a buzzed head in 2005 or with a pixie cut in 2006. Retro curls in medium brown in 2007 or soft side curls in honey blonde in 2008. I'm also loving the side bun Natalie wore to the IFP 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards on ...
