The Hair Tutorial by Ken Paves: “Victoria is a gorgeous woman and wears her short hair well! It always looks so effortless, yet elegant and modern. For the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, we enhanced the volume but kept it sleek.

On her damp hair, I first sprayed my Volumizing Spray (Ken Paves Healthy Hair Volumizing Spray, $22: Ulta) all over and blow dried (Ken Paves Hair Dryer, $100: Ulta) with a vent brush for shape and volume. I created a part in the middle, and tucked her hair behind her ears, enhancing the shine with a touch of shine serum. Then, keeping her longer bangs in the front, I simply pulled them to each side for some added dimension. She looked amazing!”

The Hair Tutorial by Ken Paves: “I created an updo on Jessica that’s young and fresh, but still sophisticated and modern depending on which angle you view it from. I started off on her air-dried hair, and sprayed my Ken Paves Volumizing Spray ($22: Ulta) all over, and began curling it with my 1 inch curling iron (Ken Paves Curling Iron, $60: Ulta) to give the hair some bend.

Then, I brushed it out with a Mason Pearson paddle brush to loosen the curls, and starting to twist the side into her hair, pinning it to secure. With the remaining hair in the back, I created a loose chignon. I used my fingers to create a wave to the front and finished off with some of my Ken Paves Strong Hold Hair Spray ($22: Ulta) to finish the look. If you want to re-create the look of the chignon, I actually created one for Hairdo and it will be launching in April 2010 on QVC for $44! Stay tuned!”

Thank you Ken Paves we love you:)

Celebrity hair stylist Ken Paves tells Talking Makeup how to get Nelly Furtado’s hairdo at the 2009 AMA’s!

“For Nelly, we (Roberta Rogers from my LA salon and I) created a sleek ponytail with thick, modern chunky bangs. We started by spraying her damp hair with a volumizing spray (try my Ken Paves Healthy Hair Volumizing Spray, $22), and blowing it straight with my Ken Paves Professional Hair Dryer ($100, ULTA), using a Mason Pearson brush.

Once dry, we began tightly braiding the sides of Nelly’s hair upwards towards the crown of her head (and away from her face). This created a high ponytail, which I secured with a hooked elastic. I cut her bangs into a thick fringe and blew them out just at her brow. If you want to add length to your pony then try my Hairdo Wrap-Around Pony ($49, QVC) that instantly adds length to your own ponytail, or want to try bangs without making the cut, then try my Hairdo Clip-In Bangs ($29, QVC).”-Ken Paves

So, It’s no secret that celebrities turn to extensions when the sudden crave for long hair kicks in, but it’s the recent photos of super star Katie Holmes that has everyone talking.

Katie Holmes recently turned her infamous bob into cascading long waves, leaving everyone wondering how it could have been done and still look so natural?

One way to achieve the look is with Great Lengths Extensions – the semi-permanent extension system for some of Hollywood’s elite. In addition to the superior quality of the human hair used by Great Lengths, the other reason it’s favored among the famous is because of how safe and gentle it is on one’s real hair.

Unlike other hair extension systems, the integrity of one’s natural strands is never compromised and applied in-salon by certified stylists, so the only risk one tales by having them is looking better than before.

Want a quick-fix option? Then opt for hairdo Clip-In Extensions by Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson to simply transform your entire look in seconds.

hairdo Clip-In Extensions are a one-piece extension system that clips into your hair, adding volume, texture and length. Available in variety of lengths, styles and shades, you can makeover your look every day.
