Designer: Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 Collection
Hair by: lead stylists Allen Ruiz for Avon Advance Techniques
Hair Trend: Classic Ballerina Chignon

Inspiration: The look mirrors the Charlotte Ronson collection, which is inspired by a remake of 80’s style. The hair was created to evoke a fresh, young wispy look and a “just walked out of dance class at Julliard” look to play off her fabrics and bold designs.

How to get the hairdo:

Step 1: Prep the hair from root to tip with Advance Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray to enhance natural shine and create volume.

I met Paul Labrecque again backstage at Pamella Roland during New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 and he is the nicest guy! He is always excited to talk to me and tell me all about the hair trends backstage. I met Paul for the firs time this past February also during New York Fashion Week. Actually, I have the interview video with Paul from New York, and I promise to share with you soon. Very soon.

“Each day, I am inspired by my clients. I love the one-on-one interaction.” says Paul. “Making people feel beautiful and confident from the inside out is my passion.”

How To Get Kirsten Dunst’s Hairstyle at the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards

The other day Pantene Nature Fusion Smoothing Creme from Pantene’s Smooth Vitality hair care line saved my hair. I was swimming a lot lately and spent some time in the sun with my guests from England.  All which took a toll on my hair. I needed to add back moisture and silkiness to my hair. Right after I washed my hair and towel dried it. I applied a small amount of Pantene’s smoothing creme on the the ends and very lightly on the top part of my hair. Remember: Do not apply on roots. Conditioners tend to weigh down hair if applied roots. I then blow dried my hair like usual. I could finally brush my hair with my fingers for the first time, in weeks:)

I attended the Pantene special meeting with Hallie Bowman, Pantene’s Expert Celebrity Stylist, last week watching her transform everyday women into red carpet divas in minutes just using Pantene products. Think about it,  Hallie styled many celebrities, such as: Liv Tyler, Kristen Dunst, Isla Fisher, and Keri Russell. So if Pantene is good enough for these celebs then probably it’s good enough for you.

Hallie’s philosophy on hair: You don’t have to spend million bucks to look like million bucks. Invest in high quality styling tools and save your money on styling and hair care products.

On the heels of a fiercely successful relaunch of the Sebastian Professional brand in July 2008 comes the latest wave of breakthrough product innovation from P&G Professional Care: the new Flaunt Collection. This four-piece collection of Shine Stylers is the birth child of extensive consumer and stylist research and the answer to the demand for multi-functioning products that eliminate trade-offs.

Charlotte Ronson: In addition to new products and sleek packaging, Sebastian’s new advertising campaign will feature unexpected style visionaries in their own right – whether tapped from fashion, film, music or any other untapped well of inspiration. London-born and NYC-raised, Charlotte Ronson (Samantha Ronson’s sister) represents the spirit of Sebastian Professional as a multi-tasking designer, a brand builder and master of expressing her personal style. And now, Charlotte will parlay her identity as fashion innovator and style icon into the beauty world as the fearless face of Trilliant, the star product of the new Flaunt Collection.
