Backstage Beauty: Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan Fall 2013
On February 10th, I went backstage at Emerson’s Fall 2013 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Studio at Lincoln Center. The team of Red Door Spa, led by National Creative Director and Master Stylist Zahir Ziani, was responsible for the teased up-do seen on the runway. The hair, as described by Ziani, was created to look effortless and natural, “as if the model put her hair up in the pony-tail herself.” Tousled curls were created first to add volume, and hair was wrapped around the base of the pony-tail and secured with bobby pins. Only one product was used, a dry spray by Kérastase, which allowed Ziani to apply the spray repeatedly while avoiding a greasy-weighed down look.
HAIR
Stylist Zahir Ziani didn’t use any rubber bands to hold the base of the hair in place. Instead, he used the model’s own hair, which was secured with bobby pins.
MAKEUP
All of the make-up used for the show was by Bobbi Brown. Dark, rocker-chic cat eyes were created using Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in black. And, the top of brows here highlighted using Bobbi’s limited edition Sparkle Eye Shadow, a combination of shimmering pearls and fine glitter. Similar to the hair, the makeup was done to look as if the model did it herself.

NAILS
The nails were just as edgy as the makeup. Inspired by the black lace used in Emerson’s collection, ORLY Nail Lacquer in Pure Porcelain and ORLY Nail Lacquer in After Party was used to create the fabulous nail detail seen below.

New: Pureology Reviving Red Hair Care Line
On Thursday, January 31st, I had the opportunity to attend an event to learn more about Reviving Red, a new hair care line developed by Pureology for red and copper color-treated hair. People with red hair often contend with fading and color bleeding; this hair care line makes it possible for red and copper treated hair to last up to 30 washes. The system includes a unique blend of oils to nourish, illuminate, and protect the hair from free radical aggressors. Reviving Red also delivers lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes and other red fruits, to help prevent color bleeding. The line includes a shampoo, conditioner, Caring Oil, and most notably, a color-depositing conditioning treatment. To learn more about the Reviving Red hair care line, please click here.
TRESemmé Style Studio
Up until I was in the eighth grade, my mom took the main responsibility for the disaster that is my hair. It took a lot of pulling and smothering palm fulls of Indian Hemp hair products, for her to be able to tame my wild, frizzy coils that always seemed to channel their inner Diana Ross. Then, when I would get my hair straightened, my long hair swallowed me up like Cousin It. As a result, I have always stuck to a basic can’t-go-wrong ponytail.
My New Year’s resolution for 2013 is to learn how to create a super glamorous hairstyle. I always have the perfect outfit and fabulous makeup look, but I am always completely clueless about how to wear my hair. In order to get ideas, I checked out the TRESemmé Style Studio, a new interactive and customizable step-by-step hair tutorial and tip site of over 100 different hair styles. On the site, you can select your hair type (straight, curly, wavy, with bangs) and hair length (short, medium, long), and occasion (Girls Night, At the Office, Blushing Bride, and Date Night).
The thing I love the most about this website is that it gives you the ability to upload a photo of yourself and get a complete hair makeover using their Instant Styler. I spent a full hour this weekend trying on different hairstyles and colors. It’s so much fun! Check out one of my results below:
What is your 2013 hair resolution?
Get Gorgeous Hair Whatever the Weather
However perfectly you have styled your hair first thing in the morning, stepping out into pouring rain, hot and humid conditions, wind or snow can all play havoc with your look. It’s important to make sure you are wearing the right hairstyle to hold up to the day’s forecast if you want to avoid a hair disaster!
Our favourite celebrities are a dab-hand at keeping their look polished and red-carpet perfect whatever the season, but with a team of hairdressers and stylists to hand it’s no surprise. Here are our top tips to try at home, inspired by some of the most stylish celebs:
Mary Kate Olsen’s pretty plaits
Heidi-style braids, as worn by Mary Kate Olsen, Kirsten Dunst and Jessica Alba, are the ultimate bad-weather style. Easily done once you have mastered the technique, the style looks best when a little messy and lived-in looking, and is a great way to keep your hair looking good between washes.
Get it by parting your hair and putting in two pig tails. Braid each side and secure with elastic bands (choose metal-free ones to avoid damaging your hair), then take the left plait, wrap across the top of your head, and pin behind the right ear. Repeat with the other side.
Eva Longoria’s Half-Up Look
When the weather’s warm and your hair is naturally more curly, putting half of it up is a good way to achieve a soft and romantic look.
This is simply done by parting your hair down the middle and clipping it up on either side. You could add volume with a little back combing for an evening look. If your hair is too smooth to hold the grips, spraying them with hairspray before putting them in your hair will hold the style more effectively.
Charlize Theron’s low side bun
This is the perfect hairstyle to neaten up your look quickly after being caught out in rain or wind; you will be looking effortlessly elegant in minutes. Simply part hair your on one side, braid it to the end, then wrap into a bun shape to one side and pin, holding with hairspray if you have any to hand. This works best for medium to long styles.
Jessica Biel’s Ponytail with a difference
A ponytail is the surest way to keep your hair from getting ruined by the weather. A slicked-back style will work best for hot days; try smoothing back your hair with a medium hold gel and pull into a tight ponytail at crown height. Create texture in the ends of your hair for some nice contrast, by spritzing salt spray onto the hair and scrunching, for a tousled effect.
For a more glamorous evening look, you can try adding some volume at the front of your head, which is softer and more flattering for your face. Start on day-old hair for better grip, and back-comb gently at the roots. Spray with a strong hairspray, and create a low ponytail. Take a strand from underneath the ponytail, wrap it round the hair band, and pin in place to finish.

Sofia Vergara in Lucky Magazine; Plus steal her Emmy’s Hair Syle
Sofia Vergara is undeniably one of the most powerful women in Hollywood right now. Maybe it’s her magnetic dark, brown locks or her adorable Latin accent, but the world can’t seem to get enough of Sofia. I will admit I have never seen one movie or television show she has ever been in, but yet, I still know who this woman is. This month Vergara heats up the cover of Lucky magazine, available on newsstands on October 9th.
Her looks are enviable, and so is her self-confidence, “I was never insecure of my looks,” she tells Lucky, “but I never think, ‘Oh I’m so spectacular.’ Maybe that helps.”
There’s something to be said about a female who is absolutely gorgeous, but doesn’t think she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Perhaps being around a galaxy of Hollywood starlets can do that to you, or just learning to be comfortable in your own skin. Pick up the latest issue of Lucky, and click here to read the full article to learn more about Vergara’s thoughts on her um, assets, her inspiration for her Kmart clothing line, and the secret to her success.
After that, if you start wishing you could wake up one morning and look like her, have no fear. Below I’ve included step-by-step instructions (courtesy of Pureology) on how you can recreate Vergara’s red carpet look at the 2012 Emmy’s.

1. On damp hair layer a dime size of Pureology Colour Stylist Control Twist high hold liquid wax (emulsified in palms first) with two golf ball-sized pumps of Pureology Colour Stylist Silk Bodifier voluminizing mousse, working through your hair from roots to ends.
2. Blow dry your hair with a large round brush to give volume and bend.
3. Apply a dime size of Pureology Colour Stylist Control Twist high hold liquid wax to dry hair for shine and memory (be sure to emulsify in palms before applying).4. Using a 1-inch curling iron, curl random pieces of hair away from the face.
5. Finish with Pureology Colour Stylist Supreme Control zero dulling hairspray for long-lasting hold.
Now, all you need to do is perfect your Spanish accent (step-by-step instructions not provided).

Beauty Secrets from my mom Part 3: Using Eggs in Shampoo
So far I have revealed my mom’s secrets for great skin, and how she gets a natural flush across her cheeks.
All rights reserved by Myrwin
Today, I’m going to divulge her secret for soft, shiny hair. We all know the benefits of eating eggs. They are rich in protein, vitamins and biton, and usually people eat them. Well, not my mom. Since I was a kid I’ve seen her crack open an egg and add it to her hair instead of to the frying pan. The same essential vitamins and nutrients found in eggs that are good for your body, are also good for your hair. Eggs strengthen hair follicles, and some serious shine. Here are the steps:
1. Before shampooing hair, beat an egg in a bowl and set aside.
2. Shampoo hair normally.
3. In place of conditioner, massage the egg mix onto the hair and scalp and leave on for 15 minutes
4. Rinse the egg out with COOL water (Caution: make sure you do not use hot water to rinse the egg out, or it will scramble in your hair).
5. Optional: Shampoo hair again to rinse the smell out of your hair
6. Style as usual.

4. Apply shine flash 02 glistening mist on the top of head.
5. Use lots of powder refresh 01 dry shampoo on the bottom third of hair to get a light fluffy effect.
What: The glossy bun
Where: Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 show
Inspiration:“…picture a very elegant Argentine woman” says Guido.

Get Your Hair Done for FREE
Lately, I’ve been contemplating adding highlights to my hair. I have never had my hair dyed before, and decided that if this is something, I really want to do, then it should only be done by a professional. But, once I started researching different salons that could do the job, I was deterred because of the price. So here I sit with my lackluster hair, unwilling to splurge, but wanting this season’s hottest ombré hair trend.
However, my lusted-after highlights may not be as far away as I thought. Last week I attended an open house event at L’Oreal Professional Products Academy, located at 435 Hudson Street in the West Village, NYC. The Academy tests out the various new L’Oreal USA Professional Product brands such as Redken, Pureology, and Matrix, on hair models, who are the first to experience new salon services and treatments before they are offered to the public. Models receive salon services including color, styling, perms and straightening, to name a few, and it’s all for free.
Sweet Treats at the L’Oreal Professional Products Academy open house
The L’Oreal Professional Products Academy is currently recruiting hair models, both men and women, for testing of new services and treatments. In order to become a model one must:
- Attend a 15 minute evaluation and allergy test.
- Meet with a licensed cosmetologist to determine which salon services are right for your hair type.
- After completing the above two steps, participants will be scheduled for a free hair color, styling, relaxer, straightening, or treatment appointment.
L’Oreal Professional Products Academy, offers many perks, other than free salon services. Models receive free professional products to use at home and a 75% off pass to use at the L’Oreal Employee Company Store on hair, makeup, nail and skin care products. So what are you waiting for? Visit their Facebook Page or call (917) 606-9563 to get started, and be sure to pass on the news.
Must-Have Product: The Style & Go™ Hair Care Valet
I don’t know about you, but we women (and some men) often use tons of electrical appliances to keep our hair looking its best.
The Style and Go Hair Care Valet with the cabinte closed.
Whether it’s a blow dryer or hair iron, we own tons of gadgets with long, tangled cords that can only be used when plugged into an outlet. On top of that, in order to use these tools we require the outlet to be near a mirror. Then, once our styling is over, the tools are returned to the clutter of other products creating a potential fire hazard.
Momtrepreneur and Inventor Marcy McKenna, has invented a product that solves all of the above issues. It’s called the The Style & Go™ Hair Care Valet, and is a mounted cabinet that neatly stores hair care appliances and products. McKenna beat out thousands of contestants in Kelly Ripa’s TLC series, Homemade Millionaire, which follows aspiring female entrepreneurs in their quest to land a lucrative deal with mega-giant retailer, HSN.
The Style & Go™ is a unique product, and there is nothing else like it in the market. In addition to offering a clutter-free way to store appliances, the sleek design comes with a built-in power cord, electrical outlets, and features mirrors on both the exterior and interior cabinet door for multi-side viewing while styling.
The Style and Go Hair Care Valet with cord doors open
I am a huge fan of products that can my aid in making my beauty routine hassle-free, so I think this is an awesome product. After I straighten my hair in the morning, I put my warm iron away and hope that when I return home, my house hasn’t burned down. With the Style & Go™, there is no need to wait for your appliances to cool down. You can set your hair appliances in the cabinet right after you use it, shut the door, and leave.

Style & Go™ is set to make its HSN debut on July 25th, so be sure to tune in on the following days:

New Semi-Permanent Smooth Lock in-salon service and At-Home Regimen
Yesterday I attended the press preview event for Redken’s new Semi-Permanent Smooth Lock in-salon service and retail line. This innovative new salon service and at-home regimen will be launching in early July, just in time for the summer when hair is most vulnerable to frizz. Whether hair is straight or curly, the 2-step heat-activated service is able to smooth strands, for a frizz-free result that lasts up to 10 shampoos and cuts styling time almost in half. Smooth Lock is not a straightening system; instead, it temporarily relaxes hair using a combination of heat fuse complex, almond oil and Interlock Protein Network (technology that delivers proteins to repair hair from the inside out). The result is silky smooth, manageable hair that’s easy to style.
The new Smooth Lock 2-step system dramatically reduces frizz and impoves hair’s manageability.
This system is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a laborious amount of time damaging their hair with hot styling tools in an effort to eliminate frizz. I’m excited about this service because I spend hours straightening my naturally curly hair, and as soon as I go outside, my perfectly polished locks channel their inner Diana Ross and I’m back to square one. Since, the heat fuse complex creates a protective barrier against humidity, I won’t have to worry about this problem anymore (I love you Diana, but I can’t rock an afro of curls at work!).
Check it out: One side of this model’s hair is dried naturally with no products. The second side was treated with Semi-Permanent Smooth Lock service and flat ironed.
The Semi-Permanent Smooth Look Technique is not just valuable to people like me who want to smooth out their curls; it is also useful for women who wish to have curly or wavy hair. There are currently four different service options offered: The Ultra Straight Technique, The Curl Refining Technique, The Smooth Wave Technique, and an Express Smooth Service. The entire smoothing process takes about 45 minutes, and can be performed very 3 to 6 weeks.
Relaxed tresses can be maintained at home with The Smooth Lock retail line, which features heat-activated formulas, including Heat-Glide leave-in protective smoother, which reduces frizz by 92% and lasts up to 48 hours. The products can be used alone, or in combination with the in-salon service, and range in price from $15-$17.
Rodney Cutler, Redken Brand Ambassador and owner of Cutler/Redken salons, was on hand to provide information on the service and product line.

Pureology’s Perfect 4 Platinum Brilliant Shine Kit
I’ve always envied the vibrant, silky smooth hair of models seen in advertisements. No matter what I do, my hair always seems to look dull, with no volume and lots of frizz. I recently gave Pureology’s Perfect 4 Platinum Brilliant Shine Kit a try. The system is infused with protein-rich Keravis and plant extracts, and was created to help repair damage, while strengthening and softening hair. With the arrival of summer, the harsh rays of the sun are bound to wreak havoc on hair, so finding a great product to combat my frayed tresses is high on my beauty priority list.
What the kit includes:
o Perfect4Platinum Shampoo (8.5 oz) and Condition (8.5 oz) featuring Zero Waste Packaging
o Highly concentrated ZeroSulfate® 250mL shampoos offer 70+ shampoos per bottle
o100% recyclable bottles feature the latest FDA-approved, 50% post-consumer recycled High-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials for unparalleled safety and environmental sustainability.
o Perfect4Platinum Shampoo (1.7 oz), Condition (1.7 oz) and MiracleFiller (0.5 oz) and ReconstructRepair (6 packets)
Why I like it:
- The shampoo is a super chic shade of chrome blue and has a sweet citrus floral scent. It lathers really well and rises off easily.
- After rising out the conditioner my hair was noticeably softer, so I didn’t even think it was necessary to use the ReconstructRepair hair mask the kit comes with; but, I did and it’s a great product. I like that I only had to leave it in for 5 minutes and rinse. The current hair mask I use requires me to leave it on from 15-30 minutes.
- Even though the product is targeted towards blondes (especially those with highlighted hair), its nourishing power did wonders on my brunet locks, revealing silky-smooth, shiny hair.
The Pureology Perfect 4 Platinum Brilliant Shine Kit will be available in salons nationwide for $61 in June, and in conjunction with the product’s launch, Pureology will be donating $20,000 to support Global Green USA with its mission of fostering a global shift towards a sustainable and secure world. In addition to donating to Global Green USA, the brand continues to implement green initiatives by using 100% recyclable bottles; using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified cardboard boxes made from 100% recycled fibers; and, by adding educational messages on all the boxes.

Nick Arrojo on the 1s and 2s.
I was so excited to attend the 10th Anniversary bash of Arrojo Salon yesterday in Soho. Guests enjoyed amazing hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and danced the night away in the salon-turned-club. Owner Nick Arrojo kept his speech short as he reminisced about the last 10 years, and thanked all his employees for their hard work and dedication. He later not only worked the turntables, but he also got down on the dance floor with everyone!

Trend Alert: Hair Tinsel
Adrienne Maloof at "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Premiere Party in October 2010 (Photo by Bauer Griffin)
Although her drama-free life doesn’t get too much attention on Bravo’s Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Adrienne Maloof’s fashion style is always a show-stopper. Recently, I raved about the glittery Gianmarco Lorenzi Gregory Shoes she wore on the season finale of her hit show, but one other glitter accessory of Adrienne’s is getting a lot of attention, and that’s the bling in her hair. The star had PopTinsel glitter extensions added to her blonde locks at Amp Salon at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, which her family owns. Soon after, The Hills star Whitney Port blogged that she and her best friend had metallic extensions added to their hair at Drybar in West Hollywood.
This trend isn’t new. Always a trendsetter, Beyonce wore hair tinsel at the 2010 Grammy Awards, and pop star Ke$ha has also been seen wearing the glittery strands in her hair.
You don’t have to be a celebrity to pull this trend off. You can buy the glitz extensions for relatively cheap prices in a variety of different colors, and use it to add some flair to your tresses.
Hair tinsel can be tied and even glued into your hair. If your going to do it yourself, make sure you purchase good quality tinsel that can withstand heat styling and washing. In other words, you really shouldn’t use the same tinsel you use to decorate your Christmas tree, or your look may look tacky instead of glamorous.
To tie it into your hair, line the tinsel up with a few strands of hair, wrap the hair into a loop and pull the tinsel and hair through your fingers as if you are creating a tiny slip knot. Once the knot is created, pull the hair apart from the tinsel; this will create a knot very close to the scalp. Repeat this on several pies of hair until you achieve your desired look. You can also bring the hair tinsel to your salon and your stylist can insert them for you. Soon you’ll be on your way to shiny, shimmery strands.

Weird Ingredients lurking in your Beauty Products
Last week, the FDA announced that they will begin requiring companies to identify any products made with bug extract on their ingredients list, due to serve allergic reactions caused by beetle-based coloring additives. The beetle juice will be listed as cochineal extract or carmine, and is the main element responsible for making red lipstick the bright cherry shade women adore wearing. But, that’s not the only odd ingredient lurking within beauty products.
Diatomaceous earth, a component in dynamite, is sure to make you explode with beauty. It is used in deodorant, natural toothpastes, cuticle cream, and can even be found as a gentle exfoliater in beauty products.
Plastic, which we mainly use for packaging purposes, can be found in hair gel and hair spray, as it adds a protective barrier. Plastic is also responsible for making your waterproof mascara, waterproof.
Simethicone, the main ingredient in gas relief medicine, is used in some hair products to tame flyaway hairs.
Crave shiny, luxurious hair? Some hair salons have begun using bull semen, which is said to add high shine and softness to dull hair.
Now that you know about some of these weird additions in your beauty products, will you start reading labels on your products more closely?
2010 Hair Trend: The Pixie

For an edgy and sexy look this season, the pixie hair cut is the leading trend for celebrities opting to go for a shorter route. If you were wondering why celebs would chop of their luscious locks, just think about all the pros of having a shorter do: short hair requires less product to create a desired look; it puts more focus on your exquisite facial features; there are less tangles to deal with; and a short hair cut is a beauty timesaver for women who dread long hours in the salon chair. Specifically, the pixie hair cut’s boyish, yet feminine look makes it a go-to hair cut for the fashion forward girl on the go.
It’s important to keep in mind that pixie is not for everyone. Yet, with the right face shape and bone structure, it can highlight defined cheekbones, elongate the neckline, and you never have to worry about it going out of style.
