09.24.10Janine Does Fashion WeekI know I am a lil' late on reporting this, but you know... Maui. However, I needed to report on what our favorite Shear Genius contestant was up to during Fashion Week!

09.23.10Maui.Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been updating the last few days, but I'm in Maui! It's hard to sit in front of the computer and blog when you can swim in the ocean or lay out by the pool instead... But I did want to check in and say hi, er, aloha. And fill you in on what's going on with my hair, of course. I made a strategic packing decision and only brought ONE hair styling product with me (can you believe it?) Plus a hair dryer and shampoo & conditioner, of course. So, Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream made ...

09.17.10Megan Fox's 'Passion' HairI am on the fence about Megan Fox. She's beautiful, but I don't like her predictable and kinda trashy style. That said, she's yet to go off the rails ala Lindsay Lohan, so she gets points for that. I guess? Anyway. Megan arrived to the premiere of her new movie Passion Play at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival wearing an elegant white Armani Privé dress, (I would have lost the red lip) and wavy style created by celeb stylist Creighton Bowman. “We decided a soft, and effortlessly natural look was the way to go with her dress which was sexy and ...

08.30.10How To: Jenna Fischer's Emmy HairTRESemme Celebrity Stylist Mara Roszak created loose, elegant waves for The Office star Jenna Fischer at last night's Emmy's. Jenna looked comfortable and effortlessly glamorous on the red carpet. Roszak shares her tips on how to get the look at home: Start by parting hair slightly off center when the hair is damp. Next, apply TRESemme 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray to roots and brush through. Distribute a dime-sized amount of TRESemme Fresh Start No-Frizz Creme to the ends, and blow dry hair smooth with a medium-sized round brush. Once dry, create natural-looking waves with a 1 1/4" barrel curling iron rotating ...

07.31.10Time For A ChangeI want to cut my hair. (I knew this would happen post-wedding!) I don't want to go too short, but maybe a long bob type cut. Once I take out my Hotheads Hair Extensions, my hair is going to be too layered (still. boo.) So I'm thinking it would be nice to take off some length. Plus, I've just had long hair for a while now, and it's always good to change things up. I still have some bang action going on, though. A lob might be weird with bangs? So maybe some other type of short-ish or medium length ...

07.27.10How To: Fashion Week Swim HairAt Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2011 in Miami, Rodney Cutler and his team of top-notch stylists did hair at six shows, including Betsey Johnson and White Sands Australia. Cutler was kind enough to share some photos, tips & tricks... Edgy & Editorial Braids at Betsey Johnson - "The punchy, bright swimwear needed a fun and editorial updos to go with it,” says Cutler/Redken Stylist Ryan Suhr, the lead stylist for the show. Here's how to recreate the looks: Spray Cutler Volumizing Spray onto damp, clean hair. Section hair into two asymmetrical sections, brushing the top half into a tight ponytail at the right ...

06.30.10Hotheads Hair Extensions + Wedding TrialSo! I got my extensions today from the super awesome Jordana Lorraine at Dino-Clark Salon in Santa Monica. It was incredibly easy and fast. Jordana also did some highlights + lowlights on my hair, so the whole process took a little while, but the actually extensions part was a piece of cake. Jordana used Hotheads Hair Extensions on me, which are in the category of "Taped Wefts" in the Guide To Types of Hair Extensions. They are super thin, flat strips or "wefts" of hair with little strips of adhesive tape at the top that are attached onto your hair. They ...

06.01.10Mid-Length Wedding HairstylesI recently received a lovely email from a long-time Hair On The Brain reader (she read my tumblr!) wondering if I had any DIY tips for shorter hair girls who need to dress it up for a wedding. She is going to be a bridesmaid in July and is looking for cute styles for her thick, naturally wavy that falls between her chin and shoulders. Here are my ideas. And thanks for sticking with HOTB for so long! Pop of Shine - Add a dose of sparkle to dress up any length of hair with a barrette or headband, like Elizabeth ...

05.17.10Kate At CannesI keep seeing all these amazing pictures of Kate Beckinsale at Cannes; she is on the judging panel for the Festival. She hasn't missed a step, per usual. During a jury photocall, she wore this gorgeous Christian Dior Fall 2010 plum and rose dress. Love her hair in this wavy ponytail with volume at the crown. At the Robin Hood premiere, Kate wore an updo with major volume. She looks so regal with the dramatic earrings and one-shoulder dress. And I love that they never overdo her makeup. Kate attending the IL Gattopardo premiere in this Oscar worthy dress. She reminds me ...
