Keri Hilson’s Hair Makeover

Rita Hazan, celebrity colorist and owner of the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City, flew to Los Angeles to give a full hair makeover to the stunning Keri Hilson (known for her song “Knock You Down” featuring Kanye West). With a new album on the way, Keri wanted a new and fresh look. Now that summer has arrived the decision was easy. Going blonde was the way to go!

Rita gave us the scoop on how she brought Keri back straight into the L.A. summer look:

“Keri had medium brown hair. I thought it would be cool to leave the sides dark and lighten the whole top to a honey blond with many different tones. She is gorgeous and that always makes my job easier!”

Keri was so pleased with the outcome of her hair and debuted her new look at the 2010 BET Awards, capturing the attention of everyone on the red carpet.

DKNY Fall 2010 Hair by Wella

DKNY Fall 2010 – Hair by Wella’s Eugene Souleiman and Eva Scrivo.

The Look: A refined side-swept ponytail projects a sexy equestrian vibe with a subtly strong, yet not too masculine look. The ponytail’s length falls over the shoulder on the side where hair is parted, while just a few face framing layers are left to brush along on the opposite side of the face. The effortless elegance of this asymmetric look complements the proportions of any face because it offsets any imbalance of the facial structure.

Inspiration: The fall ’10 DKNY collection encapsulates NY art and soul, reflecting the convergence of creative worlds and individual style that is the spirit of New York City. The graphic, modern, and unique style resonates throughout the collection, including silhouettes as tall and lean as the skyline. A neutral palette of blacks, charcoal, umber, vicuna and oxblood is brightened with accents of bluebird, sapphire, peach, and oyster. Pieces are architecturally paneled with color, texture, and pattern, but maintain the versatility of the classic urban and sporty chic modernism befitting of NYC sophistication.
