Lourdes Leon dyes her hair black!

How to rebel when your mom is one of the most envelope-pushing performers of all-time? Well, according to Lourdes Leon, you dye your hair black! Back in October, Madonna‘s daughter told InStyle she was planning on celebrating her 14th birthday with a new hair color. Lourdes was eying a bright blue shade, while Madonna favored a deep raven black. At this month’s Harry Potter premiere, it was clear Lourdes took Madonna’s advice.

I have the perfect product for the perfect salon-worth blowout!

I was recently sent Aquage SeaExtend Silkening Oil Treatment to try, and I’m an immediate fan.

I have frizzy hair, so finding the perfect product has always been tricky. Most anti-frizz products leave my hair feeling oily or weighed down. I’m sure you’ve found the same thing! Finding the perfect product that actually IS non-greasy is near impossible.

Well, I can now say that you have to look no further. This is some magical product that gives me perfectly healthy, shiny hair, without the frizz!

The secret to it’s featherweight texture is argan oil, which speeds up drying time by 40 percent, and helps water evaporate faster!

What it is

  • A wet styling treatment with sea botanicals, ultra-light argan oil and sweet almond oil to smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Infused with a unique blend of sea kale, sea fennel and sea beet extract to restore moisture, protect hair and soothe the scalp

Why you should use it

  • To smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Accelerates drying time, seals in haircolor results and protects against thermal damage
  • Crystal-clear formula, unlike other styling products, contains no artificial dyes that can alter haircolor tones
  • Treatment improves the condition of the hair with continued use

When to use it

  • Apply to shampooed, towel-dried hair. Comb through for even product distribution

Wow much to use

  • Use enough product to achieve an even amount of silkiness and smoothness from roots to ends
  • Begin with one or two pumps depending on hair length and density and add more as needed.

GET THE LOOK! Rachel McAdams’ Sexy Red Carpet Hair!

The stars of the new romantic comedy “Morning Glory” came together on Sunday, November 7th at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City to celebrate the movie’s premiere. Leading lady, Rachel McAdams, looked stunning and sultry on the red carpet with tousled, textured hair styled by Sebastian Professional Stylist Design Team Member Thomas Dunkin. After collaborating with the makeup artist and wardrobe stylist on Rachel’s final look, Thomas chose to craft a sexy, voluminous coif with a punch of rock star glam as an unexpected and unpredictable anecdote to the star’s gray strapless dress.

To achieve this sexy rocker chic ‘do, Thomas shares a step-by-step how-to for the A-list actress’ style:

1. Saturate freshly washed hair with Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray for heat protection and touchably soft volume.

2. Rough dry with hands and blow-dryer lifting random sections while twisting hair in different directions until very nearly dry.

3. Place hair in very large Velcro rollers in a brickwork pattern for maximum root lift. Complete drying with a diffuser then allow the rollers to cool and set.

4. Remove rollers and apply a sparse amount of Sebastian Professional Matte Putty through the ends of the hair. Apply another blast of heat with the hair dryer to work up the hair’s texture by massaging the roots with finger tips.

5. Part the hair low so that a big section of fringe sits asymmetric and falls sensually over one eye. To exaggerate the style and build up the shape, set the style with Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper by spraying into the stream of hot air from the hair dryer.

6. Apply Sebastian Professional Matte Putty again loosening the look with your hands and defining the sections that give a disheveled but modern edge to the final look.

Hollywood’s Newest Crop!

A bevy of A-list beauties have been sporting new shaggy-chic bobs as of late – and it’s all a matter of time before the masses start demanding the “Keira”, “Scarlett” or “Ashlee.” A far-enough cry from its blunter-edged opposite, this look combines a fun modern appeal with a care-free, effortless edge. So what is the key to replicating this look in order to look like Hollywood’s stunning starlettes?

According to Luis Alvarez, Co-Founder & Vice President Creative of Aquage Haircare, “For a haircut to look modern, it should be defined by seamlessly blended texture that lies close to the head. The hair should be cut to look like it “grew into” the shape instead of looking freshly cut.”

And to keep the style looking as fresh as it was on day one – having access to the right product is all part of the process. According to Alvarez, a wet styling treatment such as Aquage Silkening Oil Treatment locks in the hairs natural texture which is essential to pulling of a piece-y look. Silkening Oil Treatment utilizes sea botanicals, ultra-light argan oil and sweet almond oil to smooth and silken strands while imparting high-wattage shine and essential moisture restoration.

To use:

“Apply a nickel sized amount to damp hair and distribute evenly.” Says Alvarez. “Allow hair to dry naturally or organically blow-dry hair using only your fingers to direct, shape and texturize individual strands for optimum results.”
