HAIR STYLE IDEAS & TIPS

TOP KNOT LOOK FOR BRIDES
Highlight of Fashion Week 2010, NYC
The hot spring top knot look that Victoria Beckman, left, is wearing is perfect for brides. When brides wear the top knot, celebrity stylist, Philip Pelusi, says they should select a veil that pins in under the back of the knot. The top knot is a really high fashion look that really makes a statement so we recommend not covering it with a veil.

If their gown is more formal and classic then wear the top knot smooth, sleek and neat. The hair texture is smooth and neatly tucked into the knot, pinning in all loose ends. Use a hair grooming and glossing product to smooth hair down and create shine.

If their gown is more casual or romantic, then wear the top knot slightly sexy, messy and textured. Air-dry or scrunch the hair first to create a wavy texture then pull the hair up into the knot without smoothing the texture. Do not use a brush. Use fingers to control
hair and finger style into the knot. Use a texturizing and soft controlling product to help control and groom hair. Pin in ends but don't worry is a few ends are left out as the look is supposed to be not so perfect.

From recent runways - including the Venexiana, left, and Woman's Mafia Fall shows - to celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, the top knot or chignon is becoming one of the fastest growing hair trends for 2010. U.S. stylist Philip Pelusi, along with creative director Jeffrey Reitz, created a variety of top knot looks seen during Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week.

For Venexiana's show, the Philip Pelusi design team utilized a knot he called "Empire Chignon," a twist on the classic chignon, right. The hair created for Venexiana was architectural and took on new height - literally. The hair was couture, high-fashion.

TIPS ON RETRO '80s HAIR FOR SUMMER
Big, bold, bouncy volume for summer 2010 is putting a twist on '80s retro styles. The new volume is natural looking big waves, big curls, and big groomed updos that are easy to achieve.
  Apply the products most suitable for your hair type, and follow a few styling tips from Charles Booth, creator of LaCoupe:
• A nozzle for your dryer is crucial for this look. It will give and an extra strong lift effect. Be sure to concentrate at the roots.
• Flat Irons are perfect to create waves and super volume. Start in small sections underneath, and create a platform of waves.
• Velcro rollers, these sometimes over looked hair tools, are easy and effective to use.
• Use a tail comb, for lifting and smoothing. It gives the gentle, light touch needed to primp hair, without destroying the height created.
• A back-brushing brush is a vital ally. Back-brushing or ruffing is the new backcombing, performed at the roots with a brush, when done correctly it’s gentler on the hair.
• When blow-drying, build up as much volume as possible. Begin with Hair Plumper, and then blow the excess moisture out of your hair by turning your head upside down. Finish off with Velcro rollers.

TIPS FOR ANGELINA'S HAIR STYLE
The soft romantic look Angelina Jolie wore at the Directors Guild of America Awards (January 30, 2010), was created by L.A. celebrity hairdresser David Babaii.
  Here are the tips for creating the look using Babaii's products or ones similar.
• Babaii used his WildAid Hair Polish throughout her entire head. This provides control and additional shine to the hair.
• After drying her hair with a medium round brush and rounding the ends he divided the hair into four sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. It is imperative to make the extra effort in sectioning prior to styling so you have total control at all times.
• Using a T3 large barrel curling iron he wrapped 1" sections around the inside of the iron and holding for 10 seconds. This creates a soft wave pattern.
• After curling the entire head in these loose wavy curls, take some additional Hair Polish and massage into your hands. Using only your fingers, loosen the waves gently with a soft combing action.
• Next, again using only your fingers as combs take the sides and top and comb back in a half up/half down style. Secure with pins.
HOW-TO CREATE TAYLOR SWIFT & CARRIE UNDERWOOD
RED CARPET HAIR LOOKS AT HOME
Taylor Swift’s fun and feminine updo perfectly complemented her elegant sparkly gown on the red-carpet at the 43rd annual Annual Country Music Awards (Nov. 11, 2009, ABC-TV), with her loose curls that fell along her face. Carrie Underwood glowed on the red carpet and on camera when she and Brad Paisley hosted the CMA event. Her look was romantic, polished, and ultra-glamorous.
  Here are easy steps using Alterna products (or similar products that you have) to create the hair styles Taylor and Carrie had at the star-studded event.

FOR TAYLOR SWIFT'S LOOK
• Work a small amount of Alterna’s Hemp Shine & Texturizing Catalyst (or similar products that you have) into damp, freshly washed hair for smooth, soft, weightless volume and create a side part.
• Blow-dry hair with a round brush.
• Lightly spray the entire head and hair with Alterna’s Caviar Working Hair Spray.
• Use a small-barrel curling iron to create ringlet curls throughout the hair from mid-shaft to the ends, spraying each curl with Caviar Working Hair Spray to maintain the shape.
• Coat fingers lightly in Caviar Anti-Aging Shaping Balm, and use fingers to lightly separate the curls and add texture with the balm.
• Pin up the hair by rolling the ends under for a ‘faux bob’ effect and pinning to secure. Make sure to leave some loose curled strands to fall along the face.
• Finish with a light spray of Caviar Working Hair Spray and Hemp with Organics Spray Shine for a brilliant sheen.

FOR CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S LOOK
• Work a volumizing styling lotion into damp, freshly washed hair like Alterna’s Hemp with Organics Thickening Compound (or similar products that you have) and create a side part.
• Blow-dry hair with a round brush to achieve volume, especially at the roots.
• Back-comb the top back portion of the hair lightly and carefully to get volume at the top of the head.
• Lightly spray the entire head and hair with Alterna’s Caviar  Working Hair Spray.
• Use a wide-barrel curling iron to curl sections of the hair from mid-shaft  to the ends, spraying each curl with Caviar Working Hair Spray after it’s been curled, to maintain the shape.
• Pin back a small amount of hair from the sides, securing just below the back-combed section and pushing it up and back slightly to get extra height.
• Use fingers to lightly separate the curls to add some texture
• Finish with a light spray of Caviar Working Hair Spray and Hemp with Organics Spray Shine for a brilliant sheen.
