Best Vamp @ Oscars 2013

Best Vamp: Kim Kardashian

Yummy mummy-to-be Kim K gave oodles of va-va voom with her vampish look; namely a sleek, glossy mane, lashings of lashes and a berry-stained pout.




Keep reading for our step by step on how to get kim's look...

Step 1: Rub a few drops of KEVIN MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN between your palms, then run your hands down damp hair, from mid-shaft to ends, and comb through.

Step 2: Rough-dry your hair by tousling it with your fingers until it's 80 percent dry.

Step 3: Apply KEVNIN MURPHY GRITTY BUSINESS and part your hair and secure the top layers with clips on both sides. Starting with the loose hair in the back, pull one-inch sections forward with a large, round, mixed-bristle brush as you dry from roots to ends. Unclip the top layers and continue drying this way. (We recommend LATTOUF ROUND BRUSH #3)

Step 4: Once your hair is completely dry, rub a pea-size amount of KEVIN MURPHY EASY RIDER between your fingers, then apply onto ends and over any short, broken hairs around the crown.

Step 5: To finish and lock in place mist with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY.

6 Common Heat Styling Mistakes

6 Common Heat Styling Mistakes


Avoid these common styling iron mistakes for sleek, straight hair with minimal damage.

1. CRANKING UP THE HEAT - ALL THE WAY

 
You don't need to turn your irons up to their max temperature this will only over heat and dry finer hair types.
 

2. FORGETTING PROTECTION

 
Not enough people use heat/thermal protectors. Lattouf recommend KMS FreeShape Hot Flex Spray to protect your hair and keep a flexable style longer.
 

3. RUNNING OVER (AND OVER AND OVER) CURLS

 
Instread of going over and over your hair and leaving it dry and damaged. Get hair as straight as possible before ironing by stretching out each section with a brush. Then slide the iron slowly and steadily in a single pass. Don't stop and go, or you'll get horizontal lines.
 

4. GOING BOARD STRAIGHT

 
 
Instead of ironing hair straight, parallel to your face, move your arm in a C shape as you proceed down the hair, and bend the ends under.
 
 
 

5. IRONING DAMP HAIR

 
If you hear a sizzling sound or see steam, well...it ain't good.
 
 

6. THINKING BIGGER IS BETTER

 

 
Some think that the larger the iron the better, this is not always the case. Instead choose a straightener with ceramic or tourmaline plates that are an inch wide.

HAIR THE PERFECT CANVAS




Twenty years ago hair color went mainstream and with it, straight hair became all the rage. As much as we love textured, tousled, layered styles, nothing shows off gorgeous color like a smooth curtain of healthy, straight hair. The pictured ombre sheds light on what we mean. The waveless, glassy surface encourages reflection, which redoubles the wow factor flare. From chin to derrière, any one-length cut provides an ideal canvas to showoff a distinctive pigment. Learn how this simple shape can help your color shine.

Step: Healthy hair is an absolute necessity for this look. Using Silk Sheen Shampoo and conditioner ensures maximum luster, nourishment and polish.
Step: Hair cut in a single line should be trimmed often to keep ends smooth and even.
Step: KMS Silk Sheen Polishing Serum adds sparkle when applied on damp ends and blown dry on high heat. Running over lengths with a flat iron gives a dazzling finish.
