Rihanna's Elegant Pony

Rihanna looks gorgeous with her hair pulled back into an elegant side-part ponytail. The bangs frame her face beautifully, and her radiant complexion is on show. This is a great look for a myriad of occasions. Try this style for a night out, a day at the office, or even running errands. Click through for style notes on how to reproduce the look.

Step: Apply a thermal protectant and flat iron your hair section by section.

We recommend KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENCE

Step: Make a deep side part and use pomade to get high shine and holding power.

KEVIN.MURPHY EASY RIDER is great for the hold and mixed with a tiny bit of KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG AGAIN to add the extra shine and gloss to the hair.  

Step: Smooth out the hair with a comb and pull your hair into a pony tail. Secure with an elastic!

Katy Perry Goes Orange For L'officiel Cover

Katy Perry Goes Orange

 

 

 

Our favorite hair chameleon, Katy Perry, has rocked almost every color in the rainbow by this point. Her latest venture is this bright orange hue, which she showed off on the cover of L’Officiel. We’re assuming that these windswept orange locks aren’t a permanent look for Katy, but they’re fun nonetheless! The copper tone actually works perfectly against Katy’s pale skin; we find ourselves wishing that she would rock this look for real! What do you think of Katy’s orange color?

Step: If hair is dark, you’ll have to prelighten to a blonde color.
Step: Ask your colorist for a coppery orange hue. If you want to avoid looking too orange, like Katy, ask for a lighter shade with more blonde tones.
Step: Use KMS Color Vitality Shampoo and conditioner to preserve shine.

The Punk Movement Continues...

Spring Trends To Wear Now: Punk

The popularity of DIY owes a lot to the early punk movement. While nowadays the term punk is applied to teens with mohawks and safety-pin embellished ensembles, the original movement created a new aesthetic that moved against mainstream ideas about fashion, spawning a look that defied style norms. Androgynous haircuts, chalking, tousled styling, and disconnection are great ways to integrate punk into your style.

Step: Asymmetric cuts have an imperfect, DIY quality that adds edge to any style. For the most dramatic version, play around with extreme length contrasts, like pairing long hair with micro bangs or super short sides with a long, mohawk-inspired top. Keep edges piecey for a lived-in feeling. The new hybrid pixie bob is a perfect example of a modern take on this look. 

Step: High contrast blocks of color create a bold, gritty feeling. Ask your Lattouf colorist to create a placement that enhances your overall shape or embrace DIY and use hair chalk to create temporary color effects at home. Our fav is KEVIN.MURPHY COLOUR.BUG NEON 

Step: Use low sheen, texture enhancing products to get a grungy finish. KERASTASE POWDER BLUFF dry shampoo is great for holding high volume styles and creating a matte finish. KERASTASE SHORT MANIA will give detailed separation and mussed up appeal to short styles and the NEW KERASTASE LAQUE DENTELLE will give flexible hold and grit to gravity defying shape.

Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

 

The first New Zealander to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Lorde became pop royalty in 2016. Appropriately, The Wild Magazine dressed her in a regal crown for an editorial featured in their Youth Issue. Actually, what we love is the combination of hair textures; from straight at the crown, her style tumbles into a mass of terrific beach waves that surround her unusual and striking features.

Johnny Depp Goes Blond — Love It or Leave It?

Johnny Depp has taken a hair cue from Kim Kardashian and gone blond. The actor debuted his new look at the BFI London Film Festival Awards on Saturday, where his striking new hair almost overshadowed why he was at the event, which was to honor Sir Christopher Lee, with whom he costarred in Dark Shadows and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny's dramatic new look is most likely for his new role in Into the Woods, which is currently filming in England. He will play the wolf in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical of the same name.
