As more celebrities begin to take advantage of summer makeup and hair products, we’re seeing an increase in Boho looks! It seems that more women are attempting to say, “I don’t care how my hair looks,” with their tresses as of late. One of these women is Ashley Benson, the star of the hit television show “Pretty Little Liars.”
Recently, the blonde bombshell was spotted at a concert with waves in her hair and something rather unusual – yarn! Glamour magazine reported on the celebrity sighting, claiming that yarn is going to be extremely popular this season. Ditch the headbands and opt for good old-fashioned string if you want to look chic in 2013!
Kate Hudson is another celebrity who’s adopting the Boho look just in time for summer. She was spotted at the Tribeca Film Festival with her hair down, full of waves that really showed the crowd that she couldn’t care less about her locks! She made it work, and you can too with a volume-infusing hair spray and a quick blow-dry with a round brush, according to Hollywood Life.
Ever since landing a starring role on the hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” Kaley Cuoco has seemingly been everywhere. Most recently, she was spotted on the red carpet at the 48th Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, and she wowed onlookers with both her outfit and makeup.
Cuoco opted for a black and white BCBGÂ mermaid gown that trailed behind her as she walked down the carpet. Her hair stole the show, tied back into a poofy bun that gave her an edge that she typically lacks. The all-American girl is often portrayed as a simple blonde with a sassy attitude on television. Cuoco successfully proved that she’s more than that!
The actress went dramatic around her peepers with a smoky eye look. An ample amount of black eyeliner and mascara surrounded her eyes, and her lids were brightened with a silver eyeshadow.
You can achieve a similar look by applying a bit of black liquid eyeliner around your own eyes, then using a volumizing mascara to give your lashes some length. Dab a little shimmery eyeshadow onto your lids, and you’ll be able to step out of the house in style!
One woman who knows a thing or two about living under the watchful eye of the public is Amanda Bynes. Since she was a young teenager, she was in front of the camera showcasing her acting talents and comedic traits. Now, Bynes is making headlines for her new look, which is drastically different from the innocent one she used to have.
It seems that Bynes has ditched her brunette locks and opted for a blonde 'do to give herself some sex appeal. In addition, the actress appears to be into the idea of wearing more eye makeup, specifically eyeshadow and mascara. While out and about on the town recently, Bynes looked to be sporting fake lashes and dramatic, dark eye makeup.
Not everyone can pull off this look, but Bynes, who is only 26, seems to be doing it well! You can try it yourself with the right cosmetics on hand. To avoid going overboard, create a smoky eye look with brown eye makeup rather than black. Then, give your lashes some much-needed curves with a curler. Finish it up with a pastel pink lipstick on your pout, and you're good to go!
A beautiful mane may come naturally to some women, but for others, it takes products like Dermalogica – Shine Therapy Shampoo to really get locks in brilliant condition. Yet once hair is looking full of life and volume, it can be difficult to settle on the perfect style.
If you've been on the fence about the right hairstyle for you, consider looking for a little inspiration from the stars!
At the MTV European Music Awards, singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen arrived at the photocall in a stellar metallic gold ensemble that accentuated the star's pale complexion and luscious dark locks. The stylish brunette rocks blunt bangs with attitude, and paired with her bold use of black eyeliner and shadow, Jepsen cleverly chose to make her hair the focal point of her look.
If you want to channel Jepsen's magnetic energy by recreating her ultra-sleek 'do, you'll need something like Fekkai – Advanced Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum. This potent serum can keep your strands from going frizzy from exposure to heat, humidity or moisture, and help you achieve the super-straight look you crave.
With your tresses well-nourished and looking sensational at long last, that special guy is sure to call you, definitely.
Olivia Wilde's outfits and makeup looks are the definition of chic – it's hard to pinpoint a time when this gal didn't look downright fabulous. And at the recent premiere of Butter, Olivia showed up with a hairstyle that Glamour Magazine's beauty blog predicts will be super trendy this fall. What was it? A row of stacked buns.
Stacked buns aren't that new – Heidi Klum and other celebrities have been experimenting with them for a while now – but Olivia's were super fresh. They were loosely twisted into romantic coils that gave her a somewhat Victorian look, which is the perfect effect for fall.
So how do you get it yourself? Start by prepping your hair with a shine spray like Hamadi – Shea Spray. Part your hair where you normally part it, then begin gathering your hair into four sections, starting at the crown of your head. Use clips to hold the different sections in place.
Begin with the top section, twisting the strands into a loose bun and pinning it in place with bobby pins. Then make your way down to the very last section, keeping the buns relatively uniform (but not perfect).
Jennifer Garner doesn't normally partake in the latest trends, but that wasn't the case recently when she exited a New York City hotel with sleek, smooth strands that were so shiny, she might've been able to see her reflection in them (okay, maybe not THAT shiny). Super-straight, ultra-glossy hair is totally trendy this fall, and even girls with curls can get the look.
Start out in the shower with a glossing shampoo that smoothes your hair's cuticles and follow up with a similar sleekifying conditioner. When you're rinsing it out, turn the water temperature down so it's cold. This helps seal the hair's cuticles, trapping in moisture.
Now blowdry your hair as usual, taking special care to aim the nozzle down your hair toward the ends. If you go in any other direction, it could rough up your strands and create frizz.
When your hair's totally dry, part your locks wherever you'd like (Jennifer did hers down the center), and heat up your flat iron. Carefully smooth the iron over small sections of your hair, making sure that you don't stay in one spot for too long.
Finish up by spreading a pea-sized amount of glossing cream throughout your hair, staying away from the roots. Comb through and you're done!
Anna Kendrick looked absolutely gorgeous at the Hollywood premiere of Pitch Perfect. She had glossy wavy hair, the perfect shiny apricot lipstick, peach-flushed cheeks and amazing eye makeup. A pair (or two) of false lashes was probably responsible for those luxuriously long lashes, and her smoky eye makeup was perfection, but what really made her eyes look so big?
According to Glamour Magazine's beauty blog, it was the eyeliner on her inner rims. The eyeliner pencil was a light nude that bordered on white, which made the whites of her eyes look bigger, lending her a doe-eyed look. It also helped reflect light, which worked equally well to brighten up the eye area. A product like Youngblood – Eye-Illuminating Duo would give you the same effect.
Another trick that the starlet used was applying a shimmery highlighter on the inner corners of her eyes, which helped combat the shadows that are usually prominent in that area. She even went a step further by adding a bit of the highlighter in the centers of her lower lash lines. The girl really knows how to amp up her peepers!
Rihanna is known for many things, including her Caribbean-infused pop music, her edgy fashions and her ever-changing hair color. The beauty from Barbados has sported dark locks and blonde strands, and most recently made waves as a redhead.
However, women who change their hair color as often as Rihanna should take a few precautions to ensure that all the dyes don’t harm their locks.
"Before making a major color change, I always dye a tiny, underneath piece of hair," Ursula Stephen, Rihanna’s hairstylist, told Allure. "This way, you can see the outcome of the color before committing. You want to be sure you’ll like the new color, since dying your hair too close together can damage it."
Heat and UV rays can damage color-treated hair, so Stephen suggests avoiding high-heat hair treatments in favor of gentler methods, and misting strands with a UV-protecting spray, such as L’Occitane Summer Protection Sun Hair Mist.
Finally, Stephen recommends using a moisturizing cream daily, and concentrating the product on the ends, as they are usually the most damaged portion of the hair shaft. Hamadi Shea Hair Cream can be applied to wet hair or at night for extra conditioning while you sleep.
