Are you always trying to get Jessica Simpson hair? Here are the four steps and the two products you’ll need to get her January 09 Marie Clair cover hair…

1. Jessica Simpson Hair U Wear Extentions (human hair, dark blonde)

2. Wet your hair and add Ken Paves Healthy Hair Volumizing Spray to the roots, then finger tousle it while blowing it dry

3. Twist and coil (without clamping) hair around a 1” curling iron.  Leave the ends of your hair out of the iron.

4. Rub Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum onto your palms and then use your hands to stretch out and loosen your curls.

Voila! Now all you need is Jessica’s closet.

A Guardian Angel For Your Hair

According to research presented by Got2B, 88% of women aged 18 to 24 use blow dryers, 71% use flat irons and 64% use curling irons.

If your stylist has warned you to protect your hair from all of the heat styling you do, check out Got2Be’s newest line of styling products, dubbed guardian angel, to protect hair from the high temperatures of hair appliances like flat irons.

The new guardian angel styling products are formulated with a patented heat-activated polymer technology that promises to protect your hair from heat styling, and to protect it up to a temperature of 425 degrees!

The new collection includes guardian angel blow dry lotion, a light, protective pre-styling lotion; guardian angel flat iron balm, which insulates hair from flat iron frying to provide frizz-free locks; and guardian angel curl iron spray, which amplifies curls and creates smooth frizz-free definition.

The products have a suggested retail price of $5.99.

Eva’s Undone Glamour

Ken Paves Says: It’s undone glamour, modern and sexy hair in less than 20 minutes.  Eva loved it, and believe it or not I didn’t use any hair pieces!

Step One: Curl 1″ sections downward.  Randomness adds to the sexiness.

Step Two: Part hair to the side.  Curl top and sides of hair toward the face.

Step Three: Allow it to cool and set.

Step Four: Spray volumizer into hair toward the root

Step Five: Flip your head over, apply medium hair dryer heat and tussle with your fingers.

Step Six: Add a little shine serum and voila, instant cover hair!

The Heavy Fringe

Kate Hudson’s bangs have been causing…quite a bang. So here is why we love it, who it suits, and  how to modify it.

Why We Love It: Blunt bangs are just plain edgy and hot. Plus bangs add style – even if your hair is just pulled up in a ponytail.
Who It Suits: A blunt fringe typically looks best on straight hair cut at one length, says Nicholas Penna Jr of Salon Capri in Boston. “However, we’ve recently seen stars like Kim Kardashian wearing her blunt bangs with wavy hair, which creates a really nice contrast.”
How to Modify It: If you’re dying for blunt bangs but your stylist knows it won’t work, talk to your stylist about a side-swept fringe. A side-swept fringe is the most popular and flattering alternative to the blunt bang as it suits just about any face shape and hair texture.

Style-in-a-Snap

Sunsilk is launching Sunsilk Style Collection. The collection is dedicated to helping women take less time each day in getting the perfect beautiful hairstyle to get them feeling confident and looking great, whatever the occasion, while still having plenty of time for their daily activities.

Sunsilk Style Collection comes in two varieties. Straight & Sleek includes a special beeswax straight energizer formula, to keep hair sleek and straight. The range includes shampoo, nourishing conditioner, straight control cream to help keep hair straight and tidy, and texturing wax to achieve a perfect layered hair style.

The second variety is Bouncy Curls, formulated from special beeswax curl energizers to help bring out the natural beauty of curly hair. The range comes with shampoo and nourishing conditioner to soften the hair and provide it with vital nutrients, keeping curly hair under control and in style with only a single wash. Additional Curl Defining Mousse will keep curls in place the whole day long.

Andrew Barton, Sunsilk Global Hair stylist, is the creator of this new range of Sunsilk. He was the winner of the prestigious British Hairdresser of The Year 2006/2007 award and earned the nick name “People’s Hairdresser” thanks to his ability to whip up a great style for any fashionista, from everyday types to international celebrities like Madonna.

In The Makeup Says: We find it hard to believe that a shampoo, conditioner, and one or two styling products could really give us cover girl locks without the usual requirements of hairdryer, big round brushes, velcro rollers, curling irons, straighteners and such. But for the Sunsilk price, why not try it?

Ted & Target

$200.00 for a Hair Serum from Target? Ted Gibson says YES.

New York-based celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson charges $950 for a haircut and recently styled Debra Messing’s hair for the Golden Globe Awards.

The Heart of His Hair Care: His exclusive wild orchid extract (plus some other luxurious ingredients) to work on:

• toning and conditioning an unbalanced scalp
• preventing moisture loss
• increasing flexibility
• enhancing shine
• protecting hair from environmental damage
• relieving stress with aromatherapy

“My customer is black, white and Asian. She is 25 to 55 years old. She travels. She shops. She lives in cities [all over the country]. This will give her the opportunity to buy [Ted Gibson] where she goes and shops all the time,” he said.

Gibson acknowledged that the Target deal may hamper his current distribution partnership with his current retailers like Henri Bendel, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora. “[The specialty stores] have been great. They have put me on the map. They believed in my two [initial] products three years ago. I am grateful for the relationships. But to grow, I went to Target. I want to be a household name and only to be in one channel of distribution, that couldn’t be realized.”

Gibson’s product range includes a variety of shampoo+conditioner and styling products that are formulated with his Merlot Complex for shine and movement.

In May, Target doors will feature a photo and bio of the hairstylist along with his items.

In The Makeup Says: We do love Ted Gibson’s ingredients, packaging, scent, and performance. But we swear on our makeup kits that Moroccan Oil (under $30) is as good to your hair as Ted’s $200 hair repair serum.

The Aveeno Nourish Line

This April, seven Aveeno Shampoos + Conditioners will hit the shelves.

The Heart of the Line:

The Nourishing Wheat Complex lies at the heart of the hair care line, which is actually a blend of wheat germ oil and wheat protein to help replenish moisture by targeting the weakest part of the follicle and depositing the right amount of proteins. Aveeno’s complex, it should be noted, uses nonhydrolyzed protein, which means that it is not soluble in water and won’t break down when washing.

The Line Includes:

Nourish+Moisturize shampoo and conditioner for dry and damaged hair. Clinical results after three washes with these items showed that 92 percent of women’s hair looked healthier and showed improvement in manageability; 92 percent of women felt their hair was more moisturized and 85 percent showed improvement in softness.

Nourish+Revitalize shampoo and conditioner is designed to help protect hair’s moisture balance and repair everyday damage, and is gentle enough for color-treated hair. Clinical results showed that these items helped 92 percent of women’s hair improve in softness; 88 percent of women’s hair showed an improvement in moisturization and 83 percent of women’s hair looked healthier.

Nourish+Volumize shampoo and conditioner, designed to boost volume, uses blue lotus flower. Clinical results showed that after three washes, 92 percent of women’s hair improved in smoothness; 88 percent of women’s hair improved in elasticity and nearly 80 percent of women thought their hair felt more repaired and looked shinier.

Nourish+Soothe shampoo, which uses lavender and peppermint, addresses those with sensitive scalps.
