Celebrity hair watch: Rihanna Got New Blonde Highlights.

Rihanna seems to not be afraid to try out trends straight off the runways. Rihanna’s very short haircut now gets blonde highlights! It reminds me of the 80’s punk look (George Michael “Wake Me Up Before You GO GO”?). I’ve seen the 80’s inspired look and hairstyles making a comeback backstage at Betsey Johnson Spring 2010, during New York Fashion Week. With 80’s classic music hits playing in the background, I must add. Loved it!!

Rihanna is also sporting a fall makeup trend: dark purple lips.

To get Rihanna’s dark purple inspired lips try MAC Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet. Shade description: Deep purple grape (Matte).

To get Rihanna’s weightless volume and ‘guts’ to hair try: Aerate 08 bodifying cream-mousse by Redken. This new mousse was a huge hit backstage during New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 at shows like: Badgley Mischka and Betsey Johnson. I’ve been using this mousse myself for the past week, and it works amazing to tame my very wavy frizz-prone hair, air dried or blow dried. According to Redken’s lead hairstylist backstage Peter Gray: many people afraid of a mousse as a styling product because all they think is the 80’s and that big hair. But in his opinion, mousse was the best thing invented for hair. He also said that most people afraid of styling products which shouldn’t be the case. Styling products are here to help you get the hairstyle you want. Also it is very important to apply styling products in the right way: use the right brush to apply or the right quantity.
