Braids Are The New Trend!

A how to on achieving this effortless yet fun look

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the day, braids used to be the hairstyle we used to get when we were running late to school and needed a quick style that was easy and neat. But now, braids are worn by celebrities for any occasion. Whether it be out to dinner or on the red carpet. Achieving these looks is quite simple.

 

1. To achieve these looks, use Kevin Murphy Young again while hair is wet, before styling, to ensure hair is protected and shiny. 

 

2. Blow dry hair using a round brush for added volume.

 

3. After blow drying, you could apply a small about of Kevin Murphy Young Again to further smooth the hair and maintain any fly aways.

 

4. If you want to achieve the slick look like the beautiful Jordan Sparks, spray Kevin Murphy session spray to achieve a strong pull back hold with a braid on the end.

Bangs Are Back!

A striking yet sophisticated look

 

It's official! Bangs are back and making a statement that we know only hair can do. This new trend can suit any style you carry. Whether is be straight, curly or wavy hair. A bold fringe such as the bang can be worn with loose hair or tied up like the beautiful Michele Lea has done. We love the way her bangs fall to eyelash level and bring out those cat shaped brown eyes. A style like this needs a trim every few weeks, but this look proves to be so worth the upkeep. To achieve such a bold fringe, ask your hair stylist to cut the fringe while your hair is dry. Doing this allows for you to be able to see how your hair falls when you'll need to do it alone at home. To keep your fringe looking fresh with a shine everyday, wash your fringe when you wash your hair each morning. This allows for you to have a bold looking bang everyday, without having to wash your hair.

The Perfect Red Lip

With Christmas just around the corner, what better way to get into this festive season than with the colours of Christmas. Red, a colour that is striking, represents power, stands out and is very sexy! And no better way to show it then on your lips on Christmas Day. With the weight gain from all the feasts shared with family and friends, to running after kids, that last thing you need is a faded or smudged lipstick. To avoid your lipstick fading and creating a defined shape, match your lipstick colour to a red lip liner. line your lips with the lip liner, and then colour in the rest of your lips. This will act as a base to your lipstick and will allow it to stick to the lipstick for longer. Go over this with the red lipstick of your choice.

Here we take a trip down memory lane to the celebrities that have had the best red lips on the red carpet.

Dita Von Teese 60's Styled Celebrity Icon

Retro Waves Do It Again for Dita Von Teese

Bewitching fifties throwback, Dita Von Teese, appeared at this past weekend’s International Beauty Show, New York –– an beauty industry merry-go-round of new trends and techniques, fashions and styles –– in her signature, era-inspired get-up. A stylized, shoulder-grazing glamor wave, her hair is the quintessential example of timeless elegance, beauty and grace; the romantic shapeliness evokes the epoch of Hollywood. The raven color, meanwhile, complements her stark complexion, and the deep side-part opens her striking face-frame. Being stylized, most mid-length styles can be shaped like Dita’s; to learn how, visit your nearest Lattouf Hair & Day Spa or see our home style tips below.

Step: To start prep hair with heat protector then apply KEVIN MURPHY FULL AGAIN to the mid length and ends of hair. Add KMS FREESHAPE for longlasting support and shine.
Step: Create big curls with a large barrel curling iron. Use pin-curl clips to pin these curls as they set. Allow to cool and unclip.
Step: Gently brush out curls until they become softer and more free-flowing, like a waterfall.
Step: Using outside arch of eyebrow as a guide, create a deep side part. Pin short side behind ear. Pus the long side back and away from the face, allowing romantic waves to tumble down the face-frame, neck and shoulders.
Step: To finish mist with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY to keep in place.
