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!

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.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Wedding Photo

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel share their wedding photos

The groom serenaded his bride with a song specially written for her as she waltzed down the aisle in a spectacular pink Giambattista Valli gown.

This was the scenario as Hollywood sweethearts Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel tied the knot in an intimate Italian wedding at the magnificent Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia.

 

Justin, the Sexyback singer, pictured literally jumping for joy, reveals his wedding gift to his love: "I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle."

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 also opted for a romantic updo for the ceremony, simple, classic and yes romantic.

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.

Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde!

 

 

Exciting Kardashian news today as the most famous of them all finally unveiled, properly at least, her new dark golden blonde ‘do. Twitter went into a flutter over the weekend as Kim showed a very small sneak peak with a hinting tweet, but here’s the first proper show of her latest bombshell look. Keeping it on the darker side of flaxen helps her to pair the hue with her ravishing dark eyes, without too much stark contrast. The variation in tone gives her ripples of shimmering color all over. Kim’s power and influence means this will be a hot shade for fall…

Step: Talk to your colourist about transitioning to dark blonde.“High lift blondes’ are a salon service that enables most to go 4-5 levels lighter, without bleaching. Bleaching is one of the most damaging things for hair, so exploring other options will help you keep color-treated locks as lustrous as Kim’s.
Step: Use KMS Color Vitality Blonde Shampoo and conditioner to preserve shine and tone.
Step: Use KEVIN.MURPHY BORN.AGAIN Treatment masque as a weekly, health-giving treatment conditioner. Packed with mango and shea butter, it puts back what hair loses in chemical services.
Step: Style with KMS Dry touch up, it means you can go longer between ‘wet’ shampooing. Like dry cleaning your red silk dress, this extends the life of color, instead of rinsing it away and add volume to your look with KEVIN MURPHY POWDER.PUFF.

The Pixie Trend

Celebrity Pixie Cuts

The twittersphere went berserk this week as news spread of Miley Cyrus’s punky pixie cut. Perhaps she was inspired by our dissemination of Mia Farrow’s iconic crop, how it changed perceptions of beauty and propelled Mia to stardom. Or maybe modern movie stars have shown Miley the way to Hollywood’s heart. The likes of Emma Watson and Ginnifer Goodwin revamped their image by going short; Anne Hathaway got back in the paparazzi gaze with the provocative opposite to her typical cut; and Carey Mulligan became the most recognizable of a new wave of British actresses when a short style uncovered her elfin charm. Read on for notes on making these celebrity styles work for you…

                       

 

Step: Strong cheekbones and doll-like features help Emma Watson stand out in a short style. If you wear a similar look, make sure there is texture on top to give femininity and visual interest. Styling should be kept simple. Use KMS Hair Play Molding Paste to muss the shape; or use KMS Hair Play Dry Wax to create contrast and separation.

Step: Ginnifer Goodwin’s face shape is rounded; that great for this tight graduation. It pronounces her beautiful head shape, while the side-swept bang draws attention to her piercing eyes. Another easy look to style: Comb a nickel-size of KEVIN MURPHY STICKY BUSINESS through hair for even distribution, create head-hugging curvature, and make a polished side-part.

Step: With noticeably thick hair texture, Anne Hathaway will be feeling fresher, lighter this summer –– long, heavy hair is a bind in the heat. Her short, textured layers add definition to the face, and are easier to manage than bushy long locks. A quick blowdryer blast perfects this look. Cocktain KMS Silk Sheen Styling Cream with KMS Silk Sheen Polishing Serum mix together in palms, run through hair, and blast dry while tousling and perfecting the shape with hands.

 

4 Carey Mulligan. KMS hair stay styling gel or Moroccan oil hydrating styling crème or Kevin Murphy fresh. Hair dry shampoo

Step: Carey Mulligan rose to prominence with a signature short look; she’s been wearing a crop for years. What keeps it fresh is the bit of length she keeps on top. It allows her to do lots of different things, from disheveled ‘dos to pompadours to slicked backed looks and even inventive interpretations of updos. For styling, if you want control and structure, use KMS Hair Stay Styling Gel or MoroccanOil Hydrating Styling Creme; if you want it wispy and light and free, use hair creme; if you want a lived-in, textured finish with KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR dry shampoo.

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.
