Guido fashioned shoulder length black high shine wigs with sharp cut bangs – inspired by 1950s and 1960s Manga Doll, Bettie Page, “posh” bourgeois women. “The Lanvin woman is very feminine, but powerful. The collection is modern and we wanted to make a dramatic statement with the hair. Wigs took a bit of convincing, but in the end the designer said ‘go for it’ and we created this very strong hair statement. When a woman wears a wig, it automatically transforms her persona.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant 

Wella System Professional Power Mask

Winter Hair:  Take care of your hair this season! Fight harsh winter elements by hydrating, protecting and nurturing brittle, flat and damaged hair. Wella System Professional Power Mask is designed to smooth and condition severely damaged hair, while improving manageability and shine.

Tip: Cold weather drains the moisture from your hair. Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind. This will also help to prevent knots and dry ends. Stash a smoothing balm in your purse to tame flyaways.

Wella Color Extensions at Cynthia Rowley

New York Fashion Week Fall Winter 2010. Show: Cynthia Rowley. Hair by Wella Professionals. Hair Trend: Color Extensions.

Inspiration: Cynthia Rowley is known for her whimsical-yet-sophisticated aesthetic with a vintage-inspired slant. For Fall ’10, the collection feels more indie and tough, not ladylike. She takes classic, feminine wardrobe elements, like the dress and the elbow glove, but redefines them for the modern, tough girl. The clothing and accessories for Fall concentrate on volume, texture and movement, which is accomplished with lots of feathers, fringed leather, and silk fringe.

Aveda lead stylist Odile Gilbert created glossy, childlike hair adorned with handmade flower pins at the Rodarte Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week show in New York.

“The Rodarte hair look for this season is sleek and shiny—at once free-flowing yet controlled. I was inspired by the idea of a modern, young girl who is strong and capable yet sweet and innocent. The look is young and dreamlike, with handmade metal flowers that make a statement.”–Odile Gilbert for Aveda

Q: What is the inspiration for your collection? What is the look you are capturing?
“Our collection this season explores the idea of sleepwalking. The idea of a dream state, or an in-between state, inspired us.” —Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte

Living Proof Full Thickening Cream

I love everything for my hair from Living Proof: their shampoo, conditioner, styling cream wave shaping , styling cream straight making. Their new product addition is: Living Proof Full Thickening Cream. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m planning to! I will let you know all about my experience.

Meanwhile here are some details about Living Proof Full Thickening Cream:

THE “PERFECT” PROBLEM
Flat, limp, thin, or lifeless hair is a significant concern for many women and is the result of each strand being so smooth and fine that it lies flat, one strand on top of the other. The beauty industry has traditionally tried to add the appearance of volume by puffing up the hair with various sprays (glues, really), or holding the hair into specific positions with various brittle, “glassy” polymers.

Sandra Bullock at the 2010 Golden Globes

GET THE LOOK: Adir Abergel for Frederic Fekkai created a perfect asymmetrical bob for Best Actress – Drama, Sandra Bullock. The Look: Adir’s inspiration for Sandra was a modernized 1930’s look with deep waves and interesting line.

Here is Adir’s hair tutorial on how to get Sandra Bullock’s hairdo:

Adir Abergel started by parting the hair on an angle. He then blow-dried the hair adding FEKKAI COIFF Perfecteur Anti-Frizz Silkening Crème to create a smooth, frizz-free texture. Then with a 1” curling iron he curled the hair away from the face. Next, he created a foundation for the do by backcombing the bottom layers of the hair and tucking the hair under with pins.
