Summer has always been an excuse to get lazy. Skip the foundation, ditch the iron, go ahead and wear those ballet flats instead of the peep toe pumps. But admit it: Lazy summer days mean you also get lazy in other areas as well. And while you may get away with a makeup-free face and flops, pulling off a head full of frizz isn't an option.
It's a tough world for those of us with coarse, curly, or thick hair. Life is unpredictable when your hair naturally forms perfect ringlets one day and a giant puffball the next. I know when I wake up and see a massive mess on top of my head, I'll give up on any attempt at enhancing my curls and just but out the flat iron, since straightening seems to be the easiest way to de-pouf.
From the window displays at Tiffany's and sneak peeks of the jaw-droppingly gorgeous costumes in the movie, to the star-studded soundtrack and hints of Gatsby-esque style showing up everywhere...We can't get enough.
You know those mornings when you wake up with plenty of time to shower, do your makeup, style your hair, and still have time to stop off at Starbucks for a skinny vanilla latte? Yeah, neither do I. Usually, my morning routine goes something like this: It's 7 a.m., I'm on my third round of the snooze cycle on my alarm, and I have maybe 30 minutes to get ready and leave unless I want to get stuck in agonizing morning traffic.
When you envision a bun, you typically revert to the old standbys -- topknot or a classic ballet bun. Am I right? While these go-to hairstyles will satisfy your updo needs, it's time to add spring's hottest new hairstyle into your rotation: the low bun.
For the last two years, my go-to updo has been the topknot. I'd always been partial to the high bun, so it seemed like a natural transition when the tight twist became the chicest hairstyle since the chignon.
These days, it seems like there is an organic alternative for everything-- organic toothpaste, organic socks, organic mattresses. And with the word 'organic' being slapped on products left and right, it's beginning to loose its initial eco-friendly allure. So what does it really mean? And more importantly, when is it better to steer clear of the regular item and snatch up the organic alternative?
Think back to all the times you've ever taken a chance at the hair salon. Was it the dead of winter or the middle of warm and sunny spring? If we had to guess, we bet you got bangs in March or chopped off your waist-long hair in April. There's just something about this season that makes you want to go to the salon and get a fresh new spring haircut.
Medium haircuts often get a bad wrap, and it's not hard to see why. Medium length hairstyles can sometimes feel like you're stuck in "hair purgatory." A medium haircut is either a stalling point for that waist-long goal you feel like you'll never reach or an awkward reminder of a pixie cut you're still growing out.
When an email hit my inbox announcing that Just Extensions -- a salon that, as the name suggests, just does hair extensions -- was opening in Los Angeles, I was really reluctant to be the office tester monkey.
Taking the plunge on a new hair trend can be risky. You worry about whether or not it'll work with your skin tone. You worry about coming off like you're trying too hard. You worry about the colorist doing a total botch job..
As I'm writing this I have no idea who has won Best Actress or Best Picture (C'mon Argo!) at the 2013 Oscars but what I can say with certainty is who won the red carpet beauty awards (more about that on the next slide).
For the fashion-obsessed, Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week is really just a cruel tease. You see all these amazing clothes and shoes, but you've got to wait 6 whole months to actually buy and wear them.
