Jenny Cho Suave Professionals Celebrity Stylist creates a bombshell sexy blowout for Amanda Seyfried

Hairstyle Inspiration: ”For the premiere, I wanted to give Amanda a hint of Brigitte Bardot’s infamous bombshell sexy blowout to show off her beautiful healthy hair” says Jenny Cho, Suave Professionals Celebrity Stylist.

How-to get Amanda Seyfried’s hairstyle:

1. Apply Suave Professionals Volumizing Root Boost Spray all over towel-dried hair, concentrating on the roots

2. Layer Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream to help smooth and protect hair from heat. Blow dry with a large round brush starting at the nape.

3. Before applying makeup, set each section of hair with large velcro rollers to give hair body and volume (Once makeup is complete, remove rollers). Every section should be rolled away from the face except the front sides, which should be rolled under.

4. Unroll hair starting from the nape. Brush out the hair gently with a Mason Pierson brush and tease the roots around the crown to give slight height.

5. Mist with Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Lightweight Hold Hairspray to finish

All Suave Professionals products mentioned are MSRP $2.69 – $2.99. Suave Professionals are available at mass retailers, select drugstores and supermarkets nationwide. Please let me know if you’d like images of any of the above mentioned products.

Last week I had an amazing opportunity to meet Salma Hayek during lunch in New York City at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and chat all about her new superstar cosmetics line for CVS Pharmacy: Nuance Salma Hayek.

Although Salma Hayek admitted to being tired & jet-lagged she looked absolutely beautiful at lunch. At age 45 Salma is truly one of the best looking natural beauties I’ve seen.

It’s not easy to come up with one good product not alone a whole cohesive cosmetics line. I’m glad to see that Hayek is using her uber celebrity power to create products that actually work and mean a lot to her as oppose to just put her name on anything like some other celebs do (and I’m not naming any names).

Nuance is worthy of some of the fanciest store shelves but Salma has chosen CVS Pharmacy and we couldn’t be so lucky. Her cosmetics line is the best thing that happened to a drugstore. Maybe it’s a new era, affordable quality cosmetics within our reach.

I was fast to learn that Salma Hayek just like me is a true beauty junkie. She wasn’t afraid to demonstrate her products.

I’ve been trying Nuance Salma Hayek for CVS and these are my favorite products so far:

Nuance Salma Hayek Raw Honey Color Protect Conditioner & shampoo

Nuance Salma Hayek Wild Lime Exfoliating Facial Gel

Nuance Salma Hayek Cucumber & Rosewater Dual Phase Makeup Remover

Nuance Salma Hayek Detoxifying Facial Cleansing & Toning Towelettes

Nuance Salma Hayek Jojoba Dual Phase Body Oil

Nuance Salma Hayek Dark Cacao & Coffee Firming Body Cream

Nuance Salma Hayek Walnut Body Scrub

Nuance Salma Hayek My Secret Super Moisturizing Body Cream

Salma Hayek demonstrating the very fabulous and my favortie also the Nuance Salma Hayek Oxygen Activated Foaming Face Wash. She thought this face wash lathers so well men can shve with it.

The Lotus room at the Mandarin Oriental hotel is ready for lunch with Salma Hayek.

Another one of my favorite Nuance Salma Hayek Flawless Wear Tinted Moisturizer in Medium which is also Salma Hayek’s shade.

As soon as my cab arrived the city aka New York City I see CVS Pharmacy looking so vibrant.

Loving the NEW Garnier Fructis Straightening Balm With Argan Oil from the sleek & shine blow dry perfector product line. The magic ingredient is Argan Oil which the new buzz word in haircare. Morrocanoil haircare line is when I first discovered Argan Oil in haircare. Looks like it’s the new trend. Why I love this product by Garnier is that it really keeps my hair straight and frizz free long after I first blow dried it. Remember a little bit goes a long way.

I never thought that I would be getting hair style inspiration from a Princess. Sounds cliche but Kate Middleton happens to have a beautiful hair and the matching hair style. What I love about Kate’s hair style is that it’s really not too much of a hair style. Very long layers and not too many sharp edges makes this hair style very practical to even the fussiest and busiest women. The longer the hair is, like Kate’s, the easier it is to maintain.

Think about it, when your hair has long layers you don’t have to spend extra time blow drying these stubborn short bangs that get messed up through out the day (did I mention give the hair spray a break), hair  just falls down with ease. Needless to say, Kate’s hair color looks in exceptional condition. I recently saw an old photo of  Kate as a young girl and her hair was lighter, dark blonde perhaps. So IF she currently colors her hair to bit of a darker brown shade it’s quite inspirational to me to have such sleek and elegant color treated hair. The truth is loves, I believe with just a little TLC to our hair and the right hair care products, Princess or not, we all have a chance!

Every now and again my hair seems to feel dry, distressed, and overworked and in need for some help. It happens to the best of us. This morning I used Redken extreme shampoo and NEW Redken extreme strength bulder plus fortifying mask, and anti-snap leave-in treatment for distressed hair. These hair care products made my hair feel like silk. Wow. It’s not an oily treatment which sometimes I find to weigh down my hair. It’s an intense protein and ceramide treatment. Not greasy at all just silky.

Did you know that: ” Redken was the first brand to introduce protein into professional haicare in the 60′s..and now, Redken unvails a new generation of protein science with the dual-patnted Fotfying Complex and Interlock Protein Network, enebling penetration of the hair shaft more than ever before”-Dr. David Cannell, Redken’s R&D expert.

NEW extreme Strength Builder fortifying rinse-out mask

NEW extreme strength builder plus fortifying rinse out mask (this stuff is amazing!!) which contains the highest level of ceramide in the range to provide intense repiar, conditioning and strength to the core of higly distressed hair (bleached hair, dry hair, color treated hair, over worked hair).

Redken’s NEW  extreme Hair care regimen will be available in Redken salons begining May 2011 and Redken will roll-out the interlock protein network in the shampoo and conditioners of their best-selling All Soft, blonde glam, Body Full. Color Extend ranges throughout 2011.

I recently got to try the NEW John Frieda full repair haircare line and I’m really loving it. The full repair shampoo feels hydrating yet manages to lather nicely and actually clean my hair without weighting it down. Now I can tell you not too many shampoos can do just that. It smells pleasan. I followed with the full repair conditioner. The result after blow drying, my hair looked shiner than before and silky smooth. And for some reason stayed straight the next day which my hair sometimes struggles to do. imo John Frieda is one of THE best haircare line you can get in your local drugstores.

The John Frieda full repair haircare line also includes: perfect ends sheer mist, perfect ends deep infusion, and protecting root lift foam. Main ingredients: Inca Inchi oil which is rich in omega-3. The magic word is ‘weightless’ hair care which is what I’ve been looking for. My hair tends to get weighted down easily. It needed this!

Summer Hair. Marta Walsh is LOVING Phyto Instant Hydrating Conditioner & Phyto Protective Beach Spray. The Hydrating Conditioner I spray on wet hair before blow drying. it smells fresh and doesn’t weight down my hair. Formulated with sunflower oil which is a natural UV filter. The Protective Beach Spray is an essential oil for your hair when you spend time on the beach, the pool and anywhere under the sun. It’s such a classic, this one is the original formula since 1974! (yes I know, way before our time).
