Oscars 2015

I wasn’t too inspired tonight with the hair to write a full post about the Academy Awards this year. So instead I pulled the top 4 of my hair favorites. Although I have to say that Lady Gaga’s segment brought tears to my eyes as did John Legend and Common’s.

Rosamund Pike with her undercut and updo combo. Haircut by Tina Haukjaer Anderson.

Rita Ora looking fabulous, much better than her 3seconds on Fifty Shades of Grey.

Emma Stone, it really doesn’t matter what her hairs like really cos she’s so cute and gorgeous no matter what.

Viola Davis with her natural curls, flying under the radar, but I spotted her cool hair!

My Favorite ‘50 Shades of Grey’ Character ~

I, like everyone else went to watch 50 shades of Grey last night ~ on opening night. Yes I read all the books and absolutely hated them. Which meant that I was  pleasantly surprised that I did not vomit while watching this movie. I’m not here to add yet another review to the other thousands out there but I really wanted to draw attention to my favorite ‘character’ in the movie that caught my attention!

From the very beginning, Anastasia Steele’s fringe (bangs) had a life of its own, I couldn’t help but notice,  it went short, and then longer and back to short again, up and down, choppy to straight, full to split, all within the 90 miles she drove from home to Seattle.

Not that I didn’t like them, in fact we (as in me and my Dekko hairdresser mates who went) were convinced clients would now be coming in asking for the Anastasia fringe. Yikes – which part? Dakota Johnson’s hairdresser Mark Townsend will be happy his client is the talk of the town, although he didn’t actually cut the fringe for the movie, sorry I cant give credit to whoever did do it.

But anyway, it must’ve been really really tough for the continuity team, I know how hard it is to keep a choppy fringe the same every time you cut it, let alone for every scene! Anyway, just for fun, here’s what I mean…

And in my humble opinion, If I were a client and wanted this fringe, I would take this picture in to show the stylist..

My Pick–Short Bob

Yet another cute bob to help all you people who are thinking of changing their looks this year and are wanting to choose a variation of a bob. I love this one because it short, sassy and sexy, it has plenty of movement and also has that feminine short choppy fringe, Lovely!

Jared Leto – Again

Plenty was written tonight about Jared Leto at the Golden Globe’s, Forget Man Buns they say, the next trend for men is the  Man Braid!

Hey, but did no one but me notice how dark and wiggy his hairline was from the front? Of course I know its not a wig, I’m sure Jared and his hairline is as youthful as his face and body, but please Jared, hold off on that dark tint Luv’ its abit heavy looking. (Think John Travolta!) Other than that, gorgeous as usual, even with the Man Braid!

Golden Globes 2015 Hair

‘Downton Abbey’ certainly comes to my  mind with this years Globes hair. I noticed there were a lot of waves going on, polished neat hair that shows the 20’s influence’s coming through.   I have to say when it comes to Finger Waving, no one does it better than those hairstylists who coif the hair and wigs on Downton.  To me, Hair dressing, especially finger waving is a special talent that less hairdressers are able to achieve. I am always amazed when I’m watching the hair on the show,‘kudos to those talented people.

With that in mind, here are some ‘Downton’ inspired looks that I loved. My top favorite is Jessica Chastain with her fabulous wavy one sided classic look. Others shown are Alison Williams,  Ruth Wilson, Zosia Mamet, Diane Kruger and Amy Adams, all with their classy wavy hair.

Other styles of hair that I admired from tonight that stood out for me are – Rosamund Pike with her perfect Vidal Sassoon Bob cut by Tina Haukjaer Anderson , Sienna Miller with her razored Bob, Helen Mirren with her classic short hairstyle, Emily Blunt with here braided hair ‘do’, Kelly Osborne with her purple hawk, and just because she’s cute Emma Stone with her messy bob. I chose these because they are not the usual ‘Award’ show hairdo’s so always lovely to see.
