Molly's Tutorial Video

My friend Molly  made this tutorial video for school. Its adorable and so is she!

I love Topknots, I wish I had more hair since my top knot is more of a top nubbin, haha.

I think top knots are a perfect daytime-nighttime style. You can wear it to the dentist or out on a hot date. I wear my hair in a bun more often now since its in the "growing out" phase, I hate the length it is, you know that weird at the shoulders doesn't know what to do with its self phase? so top knots are my go to style. And now thanks to little Miss Molly it can be your go to style too!

Love is in the hair!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Date Night HairStyles

Messy Side Braid- is one of my favorite hairstyles, I prefer a Fishtail and at the end of the night when you take it out you'll have sexy messy waves

Old Hollywood Romance- This is such an easy look to pull off, curl hair with a curling iron no smaller that 1.5 barrel, set in pins and let cool, I usually do makeup while they are cooling, then remove pins and use a brush to re-shape the curls into soft waves, spray with a light hold hairspray

A Pretty Ponytail- The Combintation of volume on top, bangs and a wavy pony takes this style perfect for a date, especially since this year valentines day falls on a Tuesday, many people are going on dates after work It's easy to tease on top for volume and loosly pull into a pony tail.

Fashion Show: Part II

Special Thanks to Mr. Darvell for coordinating the hair and makeup team for this event!

Healthy Food is in Fashion- Show/ Fall Gala

Last week a few students were chosen from Carsten Aveda to work at a Fashion Show to support Healthy Lifestyles. The Fashion Show was held in the library at the New York Academy of Medicine and also included food samples from 20 organic restaurants & caterers & a silent auction.



Flynn: Fingerwaves by Me  Makeup by Silvio



This was my first time styling for a  fashion show & I'm not gonna lie, it was super fun and really exciting. I love my friends from school, My teacher once told me that she loved how our little group always seemed to have each others back and help each other out. This industry is so competitive and so I appreciate the fact that while I'm in school, I can consider my fellow classmates friends first and peers second. The only person I'm in competition with is myself. I've learned so much from my friends and we work in collaborations rather than as competitors.



Talent and plenty of it...



Twilight Hair Care

 

I'm so excited for Breaking Dawn to come out in November, I re-read the book last week. I'm in full blown twi-hard mode lately.  They just released the trailer and on October 1st the Twilight Hair Product line will be coming out and I'm dying to get my hands on it!

3Things my hair needs ...

1.) Pssssst Spray Shampoo- This does wonders for Bangs in between shampoos, Since starting school I've learned that washing my hair on a daily basis is a huge No-No! So Ive slowly limited my hair washing to every other day and now that I have red hair I apparently need to slash that in half and wash my hair once a week. I need to stock up on so Pssssst!

2.) Pony Tail Holders- My usually ends up in a high ballerina bun most days. Its at transition length and I can't deal. I like these ponys cause they Dont damage your hair and I always wear a bunch on my wrist like a bracelet

3.) Color Refresh- My friends Ashley & Sandra are the colorists behind my hair color, They both recommended using Jazzing to "jazz" up my color. It helps make my Reds last longer and stay brighter. Once a week I apply it directly to my noggin for 15 minutes, I also mix it with my conditioner and use it as a color rinse.

Back to School Hair Styles

It's Back to School time for many kids so I've collected some photo inspirations of my favorite hairstyles that anyone can wear from kindergarten to college. 

Up First is a front braid, I love this style whether pulled back like Drew's or worn down like Lauren's. It's great especially for grown out bangs. It keeps the hair off your face which can be a distraction during class.

 

The Second Style is a Ballerina Bun. I'm obsessed with Ballerina buns. I've been growing my hair out since last November and last spring my hair finally reached the length that I could pull it up and bun it on the top of my head, granted I had help from a few bobby pins holding the strays in place. I love how versatile the Ballerina Bun is, It can go from Day to Night, from Class to Soccer Practice etc...Your hair stays off your face and it instantly makes you look wide awake even after long nights studying. I highly recommend using  Goody Spin Pins to hold your bun up, There available at drugstores and online.

And Lastly, I cant get over how Adorable all 3 of girls are. Chloe Moretz from KickAss, is my favorite kid - teen actress and her bob is so chic. Emma Watson's pixie is so feminine and edgy at the same time, I die. I'd never be brave enough to cut my hair like this but I applaud anyone who is. And Finally Elle Fanning, Long Layers Side Braid with a ribbon Headband, I love that Elle has been in Hollywood her whole life yet she manages to always look age appropriate ,(so many kids these days look way too old and grow up way too fast) kudos to her parents for letting her enjoy her childhood and look the part. Enough Said!
