I love Anthropologie’s plaited and braided Over, Under Headband. Neither too dressy nor to casual, it adds just the right amount of sparkle to an updo. It’s the perfect piece with which to accessorize a self-styled updo for, say, a wedding held at a summer camp, which is exactly where I’ll be this weekend.
You’ve probably heard that the key to a great haircut is communication. The more info you can give your stylist about your desired look, the better. Images of favorite looks combined with lots of discussion on your part about your hair type, texture, styling habits and commitment to a style’s upkeep will go a long [...]
I’m following up my recent Bowie Bi-Level-inspired hair post with this real world example of the trend, spotted on a girl walking by my Boca Raton salon. I literally dropped everything and ran after her raving about her hair. The bangs, the disconnected layers…it’s the perfect modern day update of Bowie’s rockin’ style.
My one regret? [...]
It’s David Bowie time on Planet Ron. I was a major fan of his 1973 Aladdin Sane album growing up and I’m here to tell you all, Glam is back! I’m an educator and what I’m teaching now is 1970s hair, particularly Bowie’s infamous bi-level look. You know the one: long hair to the shoulders, [...]
This slightly messy knot (brought to you by Banana Republic) is the perfect do for sticky summer days and nights, especially since it requires no heated styling tools whatsoever. Just finger-comb your hair back into an off-center ponytail, but instead of pulling the hair all the way through the band a final time, leave it [...]
Hair color? What hair color? Niki and Lara (both 17), two vacationing blondes from Finland, are the real deal. Their blonde hair is 100 percent natural. To get it, you’d need Wella Koleston Perfect Special Blonde (aka the 12 series) or Blondor (if your hair is anything darker than medium blonde) with touch ups as [...]
When summer is done and the time comes to trade in those tropical punch colored nail lacquers for something more appropriate for cooler temps, consider the new Swiss Collection from OPI. Inspired by the European country’s majestic beauty (think snow-capped mountains and shimmering lakes) and political objectivity (the “neutral” color palette promises to offend no [...]
It’s school reunion time! Time to catch up with old friends, discover what they are up to now and see what they look like in person (as opposed to the pics they post on Facebook). Now’s the moment to pick out the perfect outfit, lose those five pounds and practice your golf swing. One [...]
This week’s favorite catalog look comes courtesy of Lilly Pulitzer whose classic shifts, skirts, tunics and trousers featuring preppy prints and patterns in an even peppier palette set the standard for society playwear. What I like about this pretty ponytail is its versatility. It’s neat enough to wear to work and pretty enough for a [...]
