My Pick ~ Scruffy Bob Shapes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these 3 shapes. Even though they are all quite simple hairstyles, you know how much I love my scruffy messy looks, they all look as if they were cut with razors, but not overly done like some Asian hair can be.

If any styles are going to tempt me to chop off my messed up hair, these would do it : )

Leopard Print Hair for JPGaultier, Paris Couture Fashion Week..

Report by:
BY CHRISTINA HAN

‘Everyone, Jean Paul Gaultier has an announcement to make: More leopard print. Exemplified at his couture show, the French designer decked out hats, fur coats, floor-length dresses, clutches, and even wrists in the jungle print. Nothing was safe, not even models’ hair, which were be-speckled with the animal’s signature spots. While some heads sported sleek, aerodynamic twists, topped off with hats in various conical shapes, those without headgear got sky-high ‘dos. Swirly and sculptural.’

Hair by the brilliant Odile Gilbert who I chronicled in this past post..

The Met Gala 2013 ~ Punk Chaos to Couture

The Costume Institute Gala, otherwise known as The Met is an annual ball to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museums fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. Hosted by Vogue and is regarded as one of New York’s top annual social event. This year the theme was Punk ~ Chaos to Couture.

168160580

Well, with such a fabulous theme to work from this year, I was expecting all the stars and celebs to go ‘all out’ and to have punky fun hairstyles, but to my dismay I was slightly disappointed to see so many celebs that seem to have missed out on the PUNK memo, including the Vogue editor in chief herself, Anna Wintour, who was dressed in a floral pink number with her signature bob.  I mean, if you don’t go overboard for the red carpet for this theme, then when can you?

Anyway after scouting around online, I have chosen some of my favorite styles on celebs who I thought made a huge effort to work the theme, so whether you like them or not, you have to give them props for trying…

Such a shame that some celebs such as Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Kate Beckinsale, Miranda Kerr, Kristin Stewart (surprisingly) and  Anna Wintour (organizer) to name afew that chose to be so boring and safe.  Come on ladies.. lighten up, it would’ve been fun!

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Lilac Belle

My lovely goddaughter was thinking of chopping all her hair off like Charlize Theron’s so I suggested that she colored her long blonde hair Lilac before she did the chop, And Yay, she agreed!

Dekko’s own lovely colorist and co-owner Jodi Ninomiya offered to do the color for her, so Belle came into Dekko for her makeover.

First I want to show you Belle’s hair before, here she is with her blonde slices, this was the base for the Lilac to go in..

Screen Shot 2013-04-30 at 6.57.27 PM

Jodi added slices/panels of deeper purple in foil and used a pale Lilac shade to cover the rest of her hair up, here’s the lovely colors used and showing you while it was on the hair…

And here’s Belle with her gorgeous result, sorry the photos are abit dark, end of the night! Thanks to Jodi for staying so late to make Belle so cute, funky and Lilac…

OK Belle, next you can cut it all off and I’ll show you that too as I’m sure it’ll be just as adorable!

Cosmogony by Trevor Sorbie

Adam Szabo and Mai Ha from Trevor Sorbie UK, created these lovely fantasy styles for their latest collection named Cosmogony. Featured in ‘Behind the Chair’ magazine, I would like to share these very creative works of art with you.

Extract from magazine: (although I must admit I find the wording abit too airy fairy, sorry Trev )

‘This collection adds brand new words to the hairdressing vocabulary. Patchwork, Crevicing, Ridgeplay, Crenulation, Otherworldly and Geographic.  It stretches the limits and blurs the lines between hair and substance, reality and imagination. It reminds us that sometimes its best to destroy all that came before, and let the next era rise from the ashes. Because don’t forget, once upon a time, it all began with a single, mighty, big bang.’

Soo Joo Park

Soo Joo Park is a model from South Korea who is fast becoming a huge hit and the next big thing! (if not already) She is based in New York and has worked for many global magazines from Vogue to Elle and lots of stuff in between.

As we all know from other models like Linda Evangelista and Tao Okamoto (the famous bowl haircut), changes in haircuts or hairstyles can bring attention to that model. This is the case for Soo Joo Park who bleached her long black hair platinum blonde.

I came across her on Instagram (thanks to Nikki)  where I spotted the chameleon model sporting all sorts of gorgeous shades of color as well as totally different looks.  So, I decided to showcase some of my favorites , although I must warn you that there were a lot of favorites so hopefully I don’t overdo it here. Anyway enjoy the many looks of this edgy in- demand model of the ‘Now’!
