Hot Weather Updo How-to

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

by Kori Ellis

Roy Teeluck (of Roy Teeluck Salon in New York and Miami) has the perfect hairstyle for hot weather — an easy updo. This updo will get that hair out of your face and off your neck when the weather is hot and sticky. Check out his tips and tricks for the hautest hot-weather hair ever.

Roy Teeluck told Lynden Halpern of Sheckys.com, “Summer updos should be unfussy and unstructured. One of my favorite looks right now is a ballerina bun. Gather hair in a ponytail at nape of neck, securing with an elastic, then twist hair strands as you roll it into a bun. Secure with bobby pins. The bun shouldn’t be perfect; let a few loose ends stick out for added softness.”

Teeluck suggests: “Minimize use of styling tools such as blow dryers and flat irons. An excellent cut and the right product will allow you to make the most of your hair’s natural texture. Don’t fight it, work with it!”

His three go-to hair products for creating the perfect updo are L’Oreal Professionnel Infinium Hairspray for hold, L’Oreal Professionnel Smooth Essence Weightless Smoother to smooth the hair cuticle and bobby pins in a range of sizes.

Free-Spirited Style From Alice + Olivia

Friday, February 18th, 2011

by Kori Ellis

Updos and ponytails that were a bit undone were very popular at Fashion Week. Lead stylist Thomas Dunkin of the Sebastian Professional Stylist Design Team created the gorgeous hair for the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet show.


Alice + Olivia Inspiration:

The Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Fall 2011 collection evokes timeless elegance and unabashed glamour. Stacey Bendet creates a wardrobe for a chic, free-spirited female; an empowered individual who is flawlessly fun and full of life, ready for a party, eccentric and captivating.

Follow the tips below to get the look at home.

  1. To start, dampen the hair with water and generously apply Volupt Spray throughout the hair. Blow the hair out with just your fingers, keeping any natural texture in the hair and making sure the hair has plenty of volume.
  2. Once the hair is completely dry, leave a soft parting where the hair falls into a break naturally. From here, spritz all over with Shine Define for flexible control and gently pull back the hair to either the center or to either side.
  3. Twist very small, subtle sections on the sides and pull hair back into a large chignon and allow what pieces pop out to remain loose. Secure with a natural-colored hair band, matte bobby pins and fine pins. Pull the chignon into a pretty shape and secure with a few more pins.
  4. Finally, spritz the hair with Trilliant for a soft natural hold and beautiful shine.

Hot Valentine’s Day Hairstyles

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

by Kori Ellis

On Valentine’s Day, try something a little different with your hair. A sexy yet sweet style is ideal for this romantic holiday.  Experiment a few days ahead of time to find the perfect Valentine’s Day hairstyle for you.

Try a messy updo
Warm a little hair polish or serum in your hands, then finger-rake it through your hair to add some shine.

Rough-dry your hair with your hands. Add a little texurizing lotion or cream (like L’Oreal Studio Unkempt Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer) to get some messy volume and hold.

Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a band. Twist and then loop it into loose sections and secure each one with a bobbypin.

If you have bangs, blow dry them smooth and swept to the side. Add a flower behind your ear to add a sweet touch to your messy updo.

Consider loose, romantic waves
Romantic hairstyles don’t have to be updos. For a glamorous look, you can leave your hair long and wavy. Check out this tutorial to find out how to get this look.

Celebrity Hairstyles for the SAG Awards

Monday, January 31st, 2011

by Kori Ellis

The hair and makeup at the awards shows is just as important as the dresses, handbags and jewelry. Let’s take a look at some of the hairstyles created for the 17th Annual SAG Awards on Sunday night.

Amy Adams - SAG

Amy Adams’ sleek hairstyle was created by Frederic Fekkai celebrity stylist Adir Aberegel.

Inspiration:

The dress was a statement on its own so Abergel wanted to accentuate the dress; this look is a sleek statuesque do with a modern twist

How to get the look:

Abergel applied Fekkai Coiff™ Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm from the roots to the end of the hair and sprayed Fekkai Coiff™ Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel at the hair line to achieve the sleek ‘do. Next, he blow dried the hair straight with a round brush. With a straightening iron, he sealed the ends to achieve the flat style. He then pulled the hair into a high ponytail. A great tip for this is to follow the cheek bone line all the way up, and then place the base of the ponytail at that point. He secured the hair with an elastic band, for an added dimension. Finally for added shine, he finished the look by spraying Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist.

January Jones - SAG Awards

January Jones’ romantic updo hairstyle was created by Frederic Fekkai celebrity stylist Renato Campora.

Inspiration:

Campora was inspired by the styles of the 1950’s. This look is dramatic, sharp and fresh to reveal January’s natural beauty.

How to get the look:

On wet hair, Campora began by applying Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Styling Whip to create volume and Fekkai Coiff™ Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm to smooth out the hair. He parted the hair to the side and blow dried using a round brush. To accentuate the wave, he used a one inch curling iron setting the hair into pin curls. Once he took the curls out, Campora brushed through the hair creating volume and constructing shape for the style. Then, he pinned the hair up at the center of the head, revealing the nape of her neck for the dramatic look. To finish the look, Renato sprayed Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray for all night hold.
