How to get Miranda Kerr's Sleek & Shiny Style

Miranda Kerr’s Sleek And Shiny Style

Shiny, healthy and straight hair starts long before your flat iron hits your strands. Miranda Kerr is a shinning example of a woman who’s hair looks like it has a naturally glossy finish. This is a look that is extremely wearable for any occasion, and with some manipulation, almost any hair type can get the texture too. 

Style Notes: 

Step: Towel dry hair to damp. Apply a little KEVIN.MURPHY BODY.BUILDER at roots for lift and shine,  and apply KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN from mid-shaft to ends for a super sleek blowdry.

Step: Center-part your hair. Blow dry roots to ends on high heat with boar bristle round brush, allowing the air flow of the dryer to follow the path of the brush.

Step: Use a straightening iron to iron-out any kinky bits. A good tip is to mist a little shine spray onto any kink, and then press flat with the iron.

Justin tells how laying his eyes on his bride in her custom petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, for the first time was, "the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." While Jessica describes how she wanted the dress to be, "romance, romance, romance. Kind of whimsical and dramatic."

Jessica Biel’s Perfect Fringe

Jessica Biel is always gorgeous, but this cut shows off her features in a whole new way.  The brow-dusting fringe and soft, piece-y length accentuate her eyes and cheekbones, while the hand-painted highlights brings dimension and brightness to the look. The combination of rich brown, caramel and gold perfectly sets off the fluid lengths of her wavy tresses.

Step: Ask your Lattouf Hair & Day Spa stylist for a razored one-length cut with a square fringe. Ask your colorist for hand-painted highlights along with the mid-shafts and ends, and tailored to the shape of the cut.

Step: Apply styling whip to the entire length for body and moisture. Dry the bangs with a flat brush, wrapping the hair back and forth to create smoothness.

Step: Dry the rest of the hair with fingers to encourage a natural texture. Finish with cream wax for added separation.

How to get your Vintage Faux Bob

Vintage Faux Bob

In the 1920s, when bobs first came into style, the cut was associated with the controversial flapper movement. Still wanting to be fashionable, less daring ladies wore their hair waved and pinned into head hugging shapes. Today, we know bobs are here to stay, but if you want the look without the commitment, this coif is a beautiful way to fake a shorter style. Get your own flapper inspired look in a few easy steps….

Step: Mist hair with KMS FREE SHAPE Hot Flex Spray for a longer lasting style and thermal protection. Curl in large sections using a mid-sized curling iron. Allow hair to cool and brush through gently to create soft waves.

Step: At the nape, pin hair flat with a row of crisscrossed bobby pins leaving the front sections loose. Wrap the ends up and over creating a small roll and secure into the row of pins.

Step: Sculpt the hair around the temples into defined waves and pin to hold in place. Spray with KMS HAIR STAY Medium Hold Hair Spray to hold and finish.

One Direction Niall Horan ditches the blonde locks

One Direction star Niall Horan has ditched his famous bright blond locks.

 

Brunette

Vs

Blonde

 

 

The Irish singer, 19, revealed a new dark 'do at the iTunes Festival performance at the Roundhouse in Camden London last week.

Though some fans were shocked by the star's makeover, it seems that Niall has been considering changing his look for some time.

'My natural hair colour is nearly black,' he told reporters back in June.

'So I'm thinking about heading towards that kind of thing, because I've been doing this for a while.'

X Factor's Simon Cowell won't be pleased. In April he banned Niall from losing his boyish blond mane.

'[Niall] put in a text to him asking if he could change his hair colour. Simon was straight back on to him with a short reply: "No way,"' revealed an insider.

Wonder what Simon will say now?

We are loving the change, the hue makes Niall look much more mature.

Cascading Curls At The Emmy’s

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.

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.

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.
