Hawaiian Hair (lol!)

Couldn’t resist this one.. Just got back from a trip from Maui, Hawaii and as you know I always look for hair wherever I go to..

So this was the best I could come up with (other than wet beach hair of course : )

All taken at the Old Lahaina Lu’au, thanks girls.

Jean Paul Gaultier Hair..

Spotted on the catwalk in Milan’s Fashion Show 2012 is Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall collection, complete with spray-on hair color.


Bright colors are sprayed just on the top close to the parting with bright colors ranging from Orange to Blue to Silver and Pinks.


Stylist Guido Palau was the creative one responsible for spraying the roots with a ‘graffiti stripe’.  They had some fun while they did some ‘free styling’.
Super long extensions were blow-dried and flat ironed straight first, then by adding some super strong finishing spray, this gave the hair the base to then add the color. Bright sprays were then sprayed onto each side of the parting.


The result – Punky, rocker-ish, edgy yet chic, all at once.

My Picks ~ Electric Youth

Found these a while back in Teen Vogue. I noticed the hair was done by one of my favorite session stylists Eugene Souleiman who has worked for most top salons such as Trevor Sorbie, Bumble and Bumble, Sassoon’s, L’Oreal Professionnel. He is in my opinion one of the most outstanding stylists working today, creating fabulous inspiring work for fashion magazines and catwalks.

The photographs were taken by Sebastian Kim who has shot for Teen Vogue, Interview Mag, Harper’s Bazaar UK, China Vogue and allsorts of others publications, also with a very impressive portfolio.

Lovely to see such creative working together. I chopped down the pics so we could concentrate on the hair.. full versions can be seen on Sebastian Kim’s  blog.

55 Year Old Rapunzel : 0

Ok now, I know we all love long hair and we all get abit reluctant to cut it off, but when are we too old and how long is too long? I ask myself this quite often as time goes by…

Now here is a lady from Taiyuan, China.  Ni Linmei is 55 years old and hasn’t had a haircut in 14years, Her hair is 8foot long!!!  (Which is longer than she is) so in order to measure her hair she has to stand on a chair! Do you think this look is attractive, youthful or anything at all?

So anyway, I have to admit I haven’t had a proper haircut in the back for about 6years although its nowhere near 8foot and I doubt whether I could ever get that long, so I think I’ve got afew more years to go yet. But dear friends…. if I end up looking like this please someone tell me to get a bloody haircut!!! Thanks!

For full story and original source.. read here.

My Pick..Sui He

I know I know, its just long hair but I chose it because this look is ‘right up my alley’ You know how I just love messy hair that’s not brushed, combed or anything, this is it! Modeled on one of the newest Asian models to make her mark, Sui He so that helps doesn’t it?

 

My Pick2

Oscar’s Hair 2012

I have to admit that this is the first year in over 10years that I have not watched the Oscar’s on the day it was televised, but I felt it was my duty to still do my usual post about the hair of the day…

I was surprised (or not) that there really wasnt much buzz about the hair or fashion right afterwards while I was checking it all out online, not very different from the Golden Globes this year, lots of ballerina buns, low buns and long tousled hair!

Anyway, it really didn’t take me long to find my favorites of the show,Thanks to websites BellaSugar, Glamour and Yahoo, these 3 strong looks are my best picks of the day.. Of course there’s Michelle Williams,  Rooney Mara (looking stunning) and Kate Mara.

And here’s to some of my second choices.. Berenice Bejo, Anna Faris and Emma Stone.

And for those of you who missed the Oscar’s here are some of the other hairdo’s floating around the Red Carpet..

So what do you all think? Boring? Safe? Exciting? New? Thank Goodness Mara Rooney was there, that’s all I say..

Prive Detangler

Thermal Protection Detangling Spray (#30)

IMG_2011

Enriched in Bamboo and kelp. Herbal blend #30 deeply penetrates the cuticle to deliver excellent conditioning and detangling, while protecting against hot tool damage. This lightweight spray departs exceptional sheen to the hair, which brightens hair color and makes it easier to style.

Apply to towel-dried hair and style as usual.

I have used and tried this product and I must say it really does help with comb out of long tangly hair, not that I have noticed the hair color brightening but it does style easier!

Josh Wood ~ King of Color!

I first met Josh Wood back in the 80’s where we worked together in Vidal Sassoon’s in London. Josh was a newbie then but even then  I knew he was destined for greatness. He always seemed to know the right people, get the best opportunities and of course do the best work, all with that cocky, pompous attitude of his, and I mean that in a good way and with the fondest memories Josh.  At that young age getting to hang out with David Bowie and his wife Iman, it meant that  Josh was ‘in’!!

 

It comes as no surprise to me to hear now in 2011 he’s had the most impressive career. After 14 years in Sassoon’s, Josh worked as Wella Professional’s Global Creative Director since Jan 2008 and from his stint there I want to show you some of his work with them. Taken from Marie Claire (May 2011) Josh and Eugene Souleiman (celeb stylist) was inspired by vintage photos and Hitchcock heroines but added a punk twist to them.

Silver Lining-

This is inspired by Daphne Guinness , asymmetrical and represents opulent, youthful glamour, says Souleiman, who bought the headband for a couple of dollars from Chinatown in Paris. The difference between this and grey is that the highlights are metallic says Wood.

New Bouffant-

The shade of the ‘wine colored’ highlights is called ‘rosewood’. It’s a take on the purple streaks grunge girls used to do. With a softness that’s purposeful not weak.. says Wood.

And for your information Josh has just opened his Atelier (studio for artists and designers) in London’s Holland Park area, where all his socialite and celebrity clients can congregate and get fabulous color from Josh Wood.
