If it's been years since you've ventured into headband territory, the onset of September (a.k.a. back-to-school season) is the perfect excuse to get back on the bandwagon. From glamorous updos to preppy blowouts to disheveled gym hair, there's nothing like a pretty headband to take your look to the next level. Here are a few ways to rock 'em this fall.
1. Down and wavy. Make your hair look super luxurious with a replenishing hair mask like Fekkai – Advanced PrX Reparatives Intensive Fortifying Mask, then blowdry and curl as usual. Slip on a headband with a large bow on the side.
2. Up and sleek. Twist your hair back into a bun, using a bit of light hold hairspray to smooth down any flyaways. Slide on a thin headband that matches your haircolor.
3. Low and to the side. After adding curls to your hair, part it on the side and gather it behind the opposite ear, leaving a few face-framing tendrils out in the front. Then add a sparkly headband.
4. Chic and boho. Part your hair in the center, then make waves with a curling iron. Slide on a thick, bejeweled headband at your hairline.
5. Tousled and glamorous. Curl your hair, then pin up sections randomly, twisting here and there for a tousled effect. Then add a couple sparkly headband chains toward the front.

How to get your hair to go from straight to curly
Tuesday, September 4th, 2012
Having straight hair is great as far as maintenance is concerned – you probably don't have to worry much about combating frizz or sleekifying your strands. But what happens if you want to switch up your look to a curly style? You might think it's difficult to get your straight hair to hold a curl, but with these tips it's a lot easier than you'd expect!
First, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner in the shower before styling your tresses. Hamadi – Honey Soymilk Hair Wash will do the trick.
After the shower, when your hair is still damp, apply a curl-enhancing product. Then, right before you blowdry, spray your strands with a hairspray like Fekkai – COIFF Sheer Hold Hairspray. Blowdry your hair normally afterward, using a round brush to smooth out tangles.
Now, use a set of hot rollers to add curls to your hair. Just twist a small section of hair around each roller, roll them up toward your scalp and secure them in place. Spritz on a bit more hairspray when the curlers are in, then wait until they're cooled before taking them out.
Shake the curls out and separate them with your fingers, then spray on a bit more hairspray to really hold the curl. Easy!
Need an easy way to preserve your blowout and wake up with perfect waves?
Wednesday, August 29th, 2012
It's hard to know what really goes on when you're sleeping, but based on how your hair looks upon waking up, it's safe to say that your head had a pretty intense time. But isn't it annoying when you just got a super sleek blowout the day before and have to wake up and do it all over again now that your tresses are unruly? Well, consider this trick your secret weapon for preserving that blowout.
According to The Beauty Department, you can wake up with smooth waves the day after a blowout with just a few simple moves. First, start out on the day of the blowout by applying a product that prevents humidity from messing up your strands, like Fekkai – Advanced Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum.
Before you hit the hay, part your hair wherever you naturally part it, then divide it into two sections. Divide one section into two pieces, then twist them around each other like a rope, just bringing one piece forward while the other goes behind. Secure the end with an elastic and repeat on the other side. Then go to sleep!
When you wake up, take the twists out and add a little shine spray, like Fekkai – Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist. You should have smooth waves with no frizz!
One simple hair move that can transform any style
Wednesday, August 15th, 2012
With social media sites like Pinterest and Tumblr providing hairstyle inspiration for women everywhere, there are more possibilities for unique styles than ever before. Whether you're dying to try out a trendy side braid, mermaid-like waves or an elaborate updo, there's one styling move that's sure to give the look an extra shot of polish.
According to Glamour Magazine's beauty blog, that move is creating a small hair bump at the back of your head. It works with any style, and it's totally easy to do as long as your hair is capable of holding some volume. So how can you pull it off?
Adding a little height at the back of your head is as simple as teasing the area and using a bit of hairspray, like Fekkai – COIFF Sheer Hold Hairspray. Just make sure that it's the layers of hair underneath the top layer that you're teasing, otherwise it may look messy.
Of course, a little extra volume beforehand couldn't hurt, so try using a shampoo like Fekkai – Advanced Full Blown Volume Shampoo in the shower on the day you plan to try the style.
How to make clip-in hair extensions look more natural
Monday, July 23rd, 2012
If the thought of suddenly growing inches upon inches of thick, luxurious hair sounds like a dream come true, you're in luck. Today's hair extensions are more natural looking than ever, and they're often easy to apply – especially the clip-in variety. But how can you make sure that your extensions blend in with your own hair? Here are a few tips from hairstylist Ken Paves, who gave advice to Allure Magazine.
1. Rough it up. The combs in the extension might slip out if your hair is naturally fine or smooth, which means that a good dose of hairspray like Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle is key. You'll also need to tease the area where you're going to be putting in the clips.
2. Boost body. If your hair is thin or fine, you'll need some volume on your side in order to hide the clips. Leonor Greyl – Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice can add texture and body that will help you tease the areas that are above and below the extensions, successfully masking them.
3. Style both. Your hair and your extensions should be styled the same, so whether you're blowdrying, curling, flat ironing, braiding or waving, you'll need to do it to your entire head of hair – fake and natural. This should blend the two seamlessly.
Top 5 cute warm weather hairstyles to try this summer
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012
During the summer months, the last thing you probably want to do is whip out your blowdryer and flat iron and try to heat your hair into submission. Standing in the bathroom with hot air and tools near your face is enough to make any girl scream when it’s sticky and warm outside. But how are you supposed to look cute without using your go-to style methods? Try one of these awesome new hairstyles – all of which are hotter than the temperatures outside.
1. A messy top knot. Top knots are some of the easiest styles to create, and they’re starting to get more popular as women search for ways to get their hair off their necks. Celebrities have been sporting the look for months now, like Julianne Hough, who twisted her tresses into a messy top knot and secured her bangs with bobby pins at a recent event. The bonus of this style? If you use a hair styling product before tossing it up, you’ll have great waves the day after.
2. A braided side bun. Charlize Theron has relied on this look on the red carpet, and Allure Magazine reports that it’s easy to pull off yourself with a couple of tweaks. Just part your hair as usual, then create a ponytail on the opposite side, leaving out one section of hair from the side you parted on. Twist the ponytail into a loose bun, then take the loose section and braid it before wrapping it around your head and adding it into the bun. If it’s a little messy, that’s totally fine – just get rid of super annoying flyaways with a hairspray like Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle.
3. Beachy waves. You don’t have to spend a whole day at the beach to get this look (unless you want to, of course). Cosmopolitan Magazine reports that the humidity and heat will help bring out your natural texture, which makes this look a breeze to create. Just divide your hair into three sections and loosely braid each one. Remove the braids when they’re dry, then use a texturizing product like Jack Black – Sleek Finish Texture Cream. How easy was that?
4. Headbands or scarves. For an instant shot of sophistication, a headband or a scarf is perfect when you’re trying to keep your hair (especially bangs) off of your face in the heat. Celebrities like Katy Perry, Kirsten Dunst and Cameron Richardson have all been spotted wearing accessories like these – even on the red carpet! Allure recommends placing a skinny headband one inch back from your hairline for an orderly look, or try pulling your hair into a messy bun and tying a scarf around your crown after teasing. Perfection in a snap.
5. A side fishtail. Fishtail braids are hotter than ever, and they’re a great way to keep weighty hair off of your neck. To copy the look that Diane Kruger, Jordin Sparks, Elizabeth Olsen and tons of other stars have been rocking, divide your hair into two sections. Pull a piece from the outside of the left section and bring it over to the right, then take a piece from the outside of the right section and bring it over to the left. Keep pulling after each piece and continue until you reach the end of your hair. Secure with an elastic, then rough it up a bit with your fingers for a carefree texture. A bit of Hamadi – Shea Spray will add extra softness and shine.
Three easy ways to get your bangs off your face
Monday, June 25th, 2012
In the summer, there's nothing worse than having to deal with hot weather – especially when you're trying to look cute! Add bangs to that ordeal and you're likely looking at hair that's plastered to your forehead with sweat. Is there anything less appealing? If you're trying to find ways to get your bangs off of your face without having to give up style, try one of these three easy fixes.
1. Pull them off to the side. There's nothing simpler than blowdrying your hair down, then parting it on the side, using Hamadi – Shea Spray for extra shine. All you have to do after that is gather up the section of bangs, pull them over to the side and pin them in place using two bobby pins crossed in an X-shape.
2. Braid them. If you have long sideswept bangs, you should be able to make a braid out of them. Just divide them into three sections, then braid them along your hairline, taking extra pieces from the side so it's secured. Tie a small elastic around the end behind your ear.
3. Twist them. Twists are easier to create than braids, but you'll likely need a strong hairspray like Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle if your bangs are short. Mist a bit onto your bangs before you start twisting, then just separate into two sections and twist along your hairline. Spray again after pinning the ends.
An idea to steal from Emma Stone’s updo at the Moscow premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man
Monday, June 18th, 2012
Emma Stone is no stranger to Hollywood's best-dressed list, and she's not going to give up her fashionista status anytime soon. Recently, the actress has been on the road promoting the new film The Amazing Spider-Man, and her looks have been absolute perfection. For the Moscow premiere in particular, Glamour Magazine's beauty blog reports that Emma achieved updo perfection.
According to the news source, one mistake that many women make when it comes to updos is making them too neat and tidy. Sure, blowdryers, flat irons, curling irons and hairsprays like Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle can help your look stay put all day and night, but when they're all used together to create one updo, the result can seem a little stuffy.
Instead, take a cue from Emma and let your updo run a little wild. Work with your hair's natural texture, whether it's curly, wavy or straight, and create something that flatters your face without seeming overdone. Stone relied on her side-swept waves to create a flattering front portion, and you can do the same with Leonor Greyl – Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice. Just pin your hair back, then let pieces fall free as they wish!
Turning a ponytail into a hairstyle – not a last resort
Friday, April 13th, 2012
For many women, the ponytail is not necessarily a hairstyle in its own right. It's more of a way to hide the fact that you haven't showered, or to get hair out of your face at the gym. However, Glamour Magazine's beauty blog asserts that ponytails can certainly be fashionable, as long as you wear them right. Here's how.
To avoid looking plain and boring from the front, it's a good idea to make a small part or leave a few wisps of hair out to frame your face. You don't have to fully commit – just a hint of something extra going on is all it takes to avoid the slicked-back look.
Finished ends are a must, whether you choose to curl the tail, flip strands out or flat-iron them straight. Regardless of what you choose, use Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle to hold your efforts in place.
Lastly, your pony should look polished. This means using a bit of Hamadi – Shea Spray for extra shine and wrapping a strand around your elastic to conceal it. Now your hair will match the glamour of your perfectly-applied lipstick, eyeshadow and blush!
Hot hair accessories to rock this spring and summer
Thursday, April 12th, 2012
Many women take spring as an opportunity to switch up their hairstyles. Whether it’s going from long locks to a chic bob, lightening up dark strands or just ditching the straightener for a while, you might be looking for new ways to jazz up your tresses. Aside from awesome beauty products, you might want to stock up on a few of these trendy accessories. Here’s how to wear them.
Headbands
Headbands are always a chic addition to any hairstyle, whether it’s in an updo, a side ponytail or a braid. They’re versatile because they come in all kinds of colors and styles, and they can be placed in numerous positions on your head. Use a volumizing product like Leonor Greyl – Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice, tease your hair to create body, then slip a headband behind your ears, close to your hairline, over your forehead (hippie-style) or far back on your crown. The possibilities are endless!
Bows
If you’re not afraid to be a bit cutesy, bows are totally hot this season. Glamour Magazine recommends wearing them on a headband, tying a ribbon around your ponytail, securing the end of a braid with one or tying a bow to the front of a retro updo. Just make sure your strands are glossy with Hamadi – Shea Pomade.
Barrettes
Many fashion designers consider barrettes as hair jewelry. As such, the trendiest styles are often big and sparkly, much like cocktail rings for your digits. Use one to pull your hair back into a half-updo, bring your hair to one side or secure a strand behind your ear. Just make sure to keep everything else you’re wearing understated, as you don’t want your look to be overwhelming.
Feathers
While feather extensions are certainly an option, a few simple feathers placed temporarily in your hair is often more budget-friendly and less of a commitment. Stick a few into your braid and secure with Leonor Greyl – Structure Naturelle, or attach a few to a plain headband. As long as they’re not sticking straight up, they’ll look chic.
Headscarves
Scarves can be worn in a variety of ways, which is what makes them such a hot commodity this season. You can wrap one around your head to create a cool retro-inspired updo or tie one like a headband. It might look great with a head full of curls, so use Leonor Greyl – Algues Et Fleurs to enhance your hair’s texture and get it ready for a curling iron or hot rollers.
Hair combs
According to 29Secrets.com, hair combs are perfect for sticking into a high bun or holding back glamorous side-swept curls. Find a comb with pretty details, then backcomb strands to create texture that will keep the comb in place.
Hair nets
You don’t have to be a lunch lady to rock a hair net, reports Elle Magazine. One celebrity stylist uses hair nets to wrap chignons and other updos. Paired with a few antique pins, the style looks old-school gorgeous. Choose a net that’s the opposite color of your hair to make it stand out, then rock a red lipstick like BABOR – Filling Lip Color for an old Hollywood look.
Bobby pins
These handy tools aren’t always meant to be hidden behind the scenes. Pick up a few brightly colored bobby pins and place a few together in a row to hold back a section of hair behind your ear. It’s a classic standby that’s unexpectedly chic. Consider matching the colors to your Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers manicure.
