Jessie J Is Back To Her Dark Side!

Back to Black

 

Jessie J is one celebrity that seems to be able to carry any hair style! In March, she went from having long dark locks straight to the extreme of shaving it all off, then dying it blonde. But of course, this gorgeous singer rocked her new style and it then became her signature look. And the world loved it! But, from her instagram, Jessie J obviously needed a change and went back to her dark hair. Although this beauty clearly has no bad hair days, we prefer her striking blonde hair!

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.

Rihanna's Elegant Pony

Rihanna looks gorgeous with her hair pulled back into an elegant side-part ponytail. The bangs frame her face beautifully, and her radiant complexion is on show. This is a great look for a myriad of occasions. Try this style for a night out, a day at the office, or even running errands. Click through for style notes on how to reproduce the look.

Step: Apply a thermal protectant and flat iron your hair section by section.

KEVIN.MURPHY EASY RIDER is great for the hold and mixed with a tiny bit of KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG AGAIN to add the extra shine and gloss to the hair.

The Punk Movement Continues...

Spring Trends To Wear Now: Punk

The popularity of DIY owes a lot to the early punk movement. While nowadays the term punk is applied to teens with mohawks and safety-pin embellished ensembles, the original movement created a new aesthetic that moved against mainstream ideas about fashion, spawning a look that defied style norms. Androgynous haircuts, chalking, tousled styling, and disconnection are great ways to integrate punk into your style.

Step: Asymmetric cuts have an imperfect, DIY quality that adds edge to any style. For the most dramatic version, play around with extreme length contrasts, like pairing long hair with micro bangs or super short sides with a long, mohawk-inspired top. Keep edges piecey for a lived-in feeling. The new hybrid pixie bob is a perfect example of a modern take on this look. 

Step: High contrast blocks of color create a bold, gritty feeling. Ask your Lattouf colorist to create a placement that enhances your overall shape or embrace DIY and use hair chalk to create temporary color effects at home. Our fav is KEVIN.MURPHY COLOUR.BUG NEON 

Step: Use low sheen, texture enhancing products to get a grungy finish. KERASTASE POWDER BLUFF dry shampoo is great for holding high volume styles and creating a matte finish. KERASTASE SHORT MANIA will give detailed separation and mussed up appeal to short styles and the NEW KERASTASE LAQUE DENTELLE will give flexible hold and grit to gravity defying shape.

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.

Kelly Osbourne At The American Music Awards

We Love!!

 

 

The American Music Awards seem to always carry the most unique hair styles, and Kelly Osbourne did just that. Walking the red carpet with her purple bangs hanging just above her beautifully shaped eyebrows, Osbourne had the rest of her hair pulled back into a large braid, outlined with gold studs. We love this look!  A feminine style from the front, turned into a twisted punk look from the sides and back. The different shades of purple in her hair are softened by the natural make up she carried on the night. If anyone can carry this looks, its the lady herself!

The Pixie Trend

Celebrity Pixie Cuts

The twittersphere went berserk this week as news spread of Miley Cyrus’s punky pixie cut. Perhaps she was inspired by our dissemination of Mia Farrow’s iconic crop, how it changed perceptions of beauty and propelled Mia to stardom. Or maybe modern movie stars have shown Miley the way to Hollywood’s heart. The likes of Emma Watson and Ginnifer Goodwin revamped their image by going short; Anne Hathaway got back in the paparazzi gaze with the provocative opposite to her typical cut; and Carey Mulligan became the most recognizable of a new wave of British actresses when a short style uncovered her elfin charm. Read on for notes on making these celebrity styles work for you…

                       

 

Step: Strong cheekbones and doll-like features help Emma Watson stand out in a short style. If you wear a similar look, make sure there is texture on top to give femininity and visual interest. Styling should be kept simple. Use KMS Hair Play Molding Paste to muss the shape; or use KMS Hair Play Dry Wax to create contrast and separation.

Step: Ginnifer Goodwin’s face shape is rounded; that great for this tight graduation. It pronounces her beautiful head shape, while the side-swept bang draws attention to her piercing eyes. Another easy look to style: Comb a nickel-size of KEVIN MURPHY STICKY BUSINESS through hair for even distribution, create head-hugging curvature, and make a polished side-part.

Step: With noticeably thick hair texture, Anne Hathaway will be feeling fresher, lighter this summer –– long, heavy hair is a bind in the heat. Her short, textured layers add definition to the face, and are easier to manage than bushy long locks. A quick blowdryer blast perfects this look. Cocktain KMS Silk Sheen Styling Cream with KMS Silk Sheen Polishing Serum mix together in palms, run through hair, and blast dry while tousling and perfecting the shape with hands.

 

4 Carey Mulligan. KMS hair stay styling gel or Moroccan oil hydrating styling crème or Kevin Murphy fresh. Hair dry shampoo

Step: Carey Mulligan rose to prominence with a signature short look; she’s been wearing a crop for years. What keeps it fresh is the bit of length she keeps on top. It allows her to do lots of different things, from disheveled ‘dos to pompadours to slicked backed looks and even inventive interpretations of updos. For styling, if you want control and structure, use KMS Hair Stay Styling Gel or MoroccanOil Hydrating Styling Creme; if you want it wispy and light and free, use hair creme; if you want a lived-in, textured finish with KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR dry shampoo.

Sending Shockwaves To Chanel, Kiera Knightley’s Tousled Bob

Concerned by the “overtly sexual” nature of Chanel’s new fragrance ad, prim parents in the UK got the Advertising Standards Authority to ban the commercial from running during children’s programming. Such a shame because they are missing Kiera’s gorgeous, vintage bob. With a whimsical, lightweight, flouncy feel it’s been cut to the nape to build structure and elevation, which heightens the impression of volume. We love how the softly tousled side-sweep drifts elegantly across her eye line, while the length, draped off her sculpted cheekbones, is perfectly placed to frame her pretty face. For tips to creating your own version of the Kiera’s look:

Step: Ask your stylist for a modern interpretation of a vintage bob. Go for a side-swept fringe to draw attention to eyes; get layers to keep it soft and bouncy; and have it hang off the cheekbones for the perfect face frame. If you don’t think your cheekbones can handle the attention, wear it longer. Chin length also works well.

Step: For styling, apply KEVIN MURPHY BODY BUILDER at roots and KEVIN MURPHY FULL AGAIN to the mid-lengths and ends of damp hair and blowdry with LATTOUF ROUND BRISTLE BRUSH for root lift, shape and movement.

Step: Apply mid-lengths and ends with YOUNG AGAIN  Now use a curling iron or wand to softly curl random pieces for a romantic, whimsical finish.

Step: Mist finished style with SESSION SPRAY SPRAY for hold and texture. Using hands, tousle into perfectly imperfect shape.
