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.

Colored Bobs ~ so now!

Have you noticed how many bobs are out there nowadays? Maybe we can Thank the movie Gone Girl for its sudden influx but what’s great for me,  is the mix of all these wonderful modern colors mixed with bobs of all shapes, lengths and textures Here’s a couple I came across recently, including Lily Allen’s.

Vanessa Hudgen’s newest look

Just keeping you updated with this young lady’s new look. Vanessa was spotted in Paris last week with her LOB (Long Bob)  and changed her color to red, apparently (although you cant tell with her hat on) she has a red ombre look under there done by celebrity colorist Nikki Lee from Nine Zero One Salon. What do you all think?

Nasty Gal ~ Hair

If your looking for some inspiration on street hair, look no further than the Nasty Gal website. Quite often I find myself browsing this site as I admire their choice of models and hair. This post shows the great use of hair piece/extensions. The haircut by  itself is strong and dramatic with the bold choppy fringe and cut off sides, but with the added combination of the longer razored layers, it creates an overall softer look.

Then as you can see, with the addition of the extensions throughout the back the haircut can be transformed into a totally different feel and look.

It shows us with abit of creativity we can quite easily change our looks out on a daily basis.

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Deanna

I did this haircut a long time ago on Deanna, but never got round to show it off to you so here it after all this time. Deanna’s hair had been ultra long for sooooo long so we decided to whip it all off for her birthday one year. We even got acclaimed San Francisco stylist Heather to do her shampoo for her ; )

Deanna with her ultra long hair:
