Cascading Curls At The Emmy’s

Many of us watched the Emmy’s last week and while most were anticipating the award results, we were really paying attention to the hair. Our favorite look was the maxi dress and cascading curls combination that some of our favorite starlets wore. Gretchen Mol and Claire Danes chose an elegant deep side part while Heidi Klum and Christina Hendricks opted for off center parts. Click through for steps on how to create this glam read carpet look in your own hair.



Step: Towel dry hair to damp. From roots to ends, liberally apply KEVIN MURPHY UN.DRESSED.

Step: Blowdry hair, using a large round brush to create a playful, bouncy shape.

Step: Curl large sections of hair around a large barrel curling iron. Once all sections have been curled, brush them out to create loose, tumbling waves.

Step: Lastly, apply shine spray for a glossy finish.

Marilyn is the epitome of glamor


Marilyn is the epitome of glamor and an icon for generations of women. Dressed up or down, she is always chic. The fashion she wears here is casual –– although, even in a turtle neck, she manages to look ravishing –– and offers an every-day version of her iconic look. The voluminous wreath of soft blonde coils worn off the face provides an elegant option for shoulder-length cuts and can be easily adapted to longer styles. The height of the hair and the undulating movement of the waves provide a feminine, age-defying affect. To try this heroine look at home, read the simple steps below….


Step: Apply KMS Add Volume root and body lift to damp, clean hair from roots to ends for volume. Spray KMS Hair Play Sea Salt Spray into roots for extra hold. Rough-dry hair until it is only slightly damp, lifting hair at the roots with your fingers to create volume.

Step: Using a small ceramic round brush, lift the hair up and away from the scalp, place the ends around the brush and roll in from the ends toward the scalp to create curl. After the section is completely dry, use a pincurl clip to hold the coil in place while it cools. Spray each curl with KMS Hair Stay Medium Hold Hair Spray.

Step: When all ringlets have cooled, take out clips and use your fingers to slightly separate curls and refine the shape. Mist again with KMS Hair Stay Medium Hold Hair Spray.

Lady Gaga's Weight Gain





Lady Gaga has been flauting her fuller figure after a whooping 15kg weight gain.
She appears to be choosing clothes that accentuate - rather than minimize - the increased body mass...

A complete turn around the the April twitter post "pop singers don't eat" which caused an outrage! Pop stars do eat, apparently.

Natalie Portman's Blonde



Hollywood darling Natalie Portman, known for her gorgeous brunette ‘do, recently changed her hair color to blonde. Instead of an all overblonde, Natalie’s highlights and lowlights give her color some depth, while honey tones frame her face. The multi-toned color givesNatalie a youthful and fresh appearance. We loved her signature chestnut color but this new flaxen look absolutely stunning on the leading lady. What do you think of Natalie’s new hue?

Kelly Osbourne & her fresh ideas


Kelly reminds us that fashion can be fun. She’s grown from the awkward, punky girl we remember from The Osbournes into a svelte, quirky trendsetter. Her style has matured too, but the playful touches, like the towering topknot she wore to the Chris Benz show last week, or the bushy-browed shades she donned for the Fashion Week in London, tend to accompany her ensembles. She was one of the first to wear pastel colored hair, and her lavender locks have become a signature look. She always seems ahead of the trend, a perfect fit for Fashion Police. She’s also not afraid of color, and her vibrant outfits tend to mix fashion inspirations, drawing from a variety of decades and subcultures. She’s also the face of Madonna’s clothing line, Material Girl, proving that she inspires one of her own fashion role models. Next time you feel jaded by the prospect of picking out what to wear, look to Miss Osbourne for some fresh ideas.

Miley’s High Volume Hair


Miley’s High Volume Hair



Though there were some mixed reviews from fans of Miley Cyrus’ new haircut, she seems to have grown into her dramatic new style and is rocking the cut. As she had been known in the past for long hair, the change was an abrupt adjustment. However, we love her new length and color because it allows for her beautiful features to stand out. Her new hairstyle is edgy and striking, yet polished. What do you think of the way Miley styled her hair with super short sides and mega volume on top?

Vintage Inspiration With Joseph Gordon Levitt



Fashion magazine Flaunt teamed up with actor Joseph Gordon Levitt for an editorial in their latest issue. We are loving the easy cool he conveys in every photo and his laid back style. Something that immediately caught our attention was the timeless hairstyle Levitt was sporting. The combination of ultra short sides and a fuller top section surely gives a nod to hairstyles of leading men from the past.

Natalie Portman's Style Blog


Natalie Portman has always been a trendsetter. In her first major role, as Mathilda in Leon: The Professional, she wore a sassy chin length bob that made her look girlishly innocent, with a gutsy touch of femme fatale. She always looks sexy, even in the most outlandish of costumes, like those she wore to play Queen Amadala in The Phantom Menace. She’s subtly sensual, and always poised, even when playing a stripper in Closer. There’s something quintessentially brunette about her, and although her hair has gone from short to long, wavy to straight, dark to light, we think she looks best with shoulder-length (or longer) dark locks and smoky eyes. Natalie reminds of the power understated beauty, and the classic elegance of the perfect shade of brown.


Cotton Candy Hair @ Anna Sui's SS 13 Runway Show




We loved the clothing at Anna Sui’s SS ’13 runway show with exotic prints and lacy details, but we can’t stop gushing about the hair! Blues and pinks sashayed down the catwalk on models’ ultra shiny manes to bring an extra “something” to the show. What do you think of this look from Fashion Week?

Lady Gaga Shaves Off the Back!!

LADY GAGA SHAVES THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Lady Gaga makes a bold state­ment and shaves the back of her head!



The 26-year-old enter­tain­er tweet­ed the rea­son behind the dras­tic hair change, say­ing, “I did it for u Terry. I’m sorry about ure mommy. She has princess die, but were all princess high.”

PHO­TOS: Check out the lat­est pics of Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga also post­ed a pic­ture of how her hair looks from the front and said, “But we still have glam­our in the front. ARTPOP.”


Keira Knightley and her hate for posing for pics...

At Lattouf Hair & Day Spa we are big Keira Knightley fans, mostly because the British actress is unassuming and possesses a low-key style. Even when she's covering the September issue of a glamorous fashion magazine, Keira's all "real" I'm just a regular gal who hates having my picture taken, I promise!"

Knightley landed the coveted September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, swamped by lavish labels, Gucci, Lanvin, Chanel, Balenciaga and L’Wren Scott. But while her dramatic cover pose channels a rather serious style, Keira talks about her own fashion habits with the magazine, especially when it comes to Fashion Week:

This sounds ridiculous but I don’t actually like having my picture taken and I tend to avoid anything where I have that... I would totally sneak in the back! And sit in the back row. I love seeing [the collections] as they were presented. Because it is art, when you see it. And the couple [of shows] that I’ve been to, they were absolutely extraordinary. - Keira Knightley 

We ask why wouldn't you want your picture taken when you look this good?

Katy Perry Does Black


Katy Perry Does Black



“The Queen of Color” as we’ve dubbed her before stepped out to the VMA Awards with black hair. Though quite familiar for most women, we would imagine Katy wearing anything but. We are loving the simple elegance this dark hue brings to her fair skin and features. The cascading waves work in perfect harmony with the deep and rich color for a look that is absolutely stunning.

Blue Hair Inspiration


Hair Color Inspiration: In To The Blue




Blue hair, who knew! Katie Perry, the summer’s unofficial queen of color, has made what was once Grandma’s favorite shade into a burning hipster trend. It may appear unnatural, yet this season’s range of pastel hues has opened the door to a new wave of creative dyes. By bleaching, you can create a canvas to glaze to almost any shade. Or you can dip-dye or use ombre effects to create pockets of pastel blue that accent the shape of the cut. Read on for tips on going blue…



Step: This is not the color to do at home! It has a tendency to go green if put on top of the wrong color base. Basic color theory rules apply –– i.e.: if you put blue on top of yellow you get green. Be sure to ask your colorist on the best way forward.

Step: A salon colorist should pre-lighten hair, then glaze to tone to blue. Alternatively, for splashes of blue, expect the color to be painted on by hand.

Step: Pastel shades fade fast. It’s a good idea to wet shampoo less, and use refinish dry shampoo to dry clean hair. You should also avoid too much heat-tool styling, and if you do use irons, make sure to prep hair with thermal protector first.

Or for a less permanent effect use KEVIN MURPHY COLOUR BUG.

Chic Short Hair from Michelle Williams

Chic Short Hair From Michelle Williams

 


Michelle Williams is a Lattouf favorite –– she makes looking cool and beautiful ridiculously effortless! Today we found this picture of her from back in spring, and it reminded us of the wonders of short hair styles. The golden tones give her hue comforting warmth, and the pixie cut is perfect for her strong cheekbones and big wide eyes. Our thought for Monday: more girls should embrace wash and wear, short hair!

Step: Blowdry hair with fingers. Push it around to enhance natural texture.
Step: Apply a 10 cent piece size of KMS Hair Play Paste Up Spray to separate and accentuate texture by raking through hair and pushing into shape.
Step: Take a tiny bit more paste and use it to lightly break up bangs, so they are not too blunt.

The Stars and Celebrities with Pink Hair

Celebrity Pink Hairstyle

The Stars and Celebrities with pink hair. If in 2011 there was the red fashion, now is definitely out. In 2012, the trend is pink. The pink hair was first seen on the runways of Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2011-2012 fashion in Vivienne Westwood and Jeremy Scott, in particular. In 2012, the trend is taking shape in the first parade (Louis Vuitton put pink powder, Jil Sander choose pink greedy, Zac Posen frankly prefer the rose) ... then on the red carpet. Yes, it is likely that many celebrities are bowing. The little discreet, full color, our stars, especially when driving in nature or that are the epitome of extravagance, do not hesitate to make known their addiction.

People with pink hair color

Katy Perry and Nicky Minaj Free Charlotte is all or nothing: as I understand, the pink whole head or anything! Willow Smith after not wearing a shaved head wearing a fluorescent pink flashy Ultra. But if these four brave warrior erected in pink, others prefer to take by strand. If it's Chloe Moretz, Rachel McAdams (strands of hair to match her bright fuchsia pink lip gloss) and January Jones. Coco Rocha also includes discrete circle of the Met gala in New York. This is a selection of lengths striking pink with wavy locks, all worn on one shoulder.

However, the appearance is poor pink pink because, although limited to a few strands, actually not very refined. We imagine, it can be fun in a night, but not beyond. And then, a rose is not the easiest to succeed. Based on the fundamental principle that the mixture of two primary colors produces a secondary color, we understand that the success of a color depends on the natural hair color and pigments that overlaps. It is therefore normal that blond hair, pink becomes orange. Rosa, since it requires a very clear edge basis even white. This means that all people with blond hair baby will have no difficulty in applying directly on the pink hair whatever shade you choose. Otherwise, go through the casing discoloration.

The fading interest

Bleaching is permanently eliminate the pigments of the hair fibers for thinning hair and thus ensure. Better and long lasting with the new color Both say, the damage to the hair fiber are significant after this procedure mandatory. The hair can be found drastic vulnerable and need care. All this to say that the trend can easily create a pink hair disaster. Consequently, if the bleaching or coloring, it is best to contact a professional hairdresser who dominates the exposure time and the distribution of products on the hair.
