I LOOVE 3/4″ Marcel Curling Irons, here is a picture of the album artwork I shot with the amazing songstress Lauren Alaina. I had so much fun doing her music video “Like My Mother Does” as well.  I wrapped her sections of hair around a 3/4″ iron and let them completely cool before giving them a gentle tease with my fingers.  Happy Curling!

 

 

Here is a new tutorial I did on mastering this amazing invention.

The Marcel Curling is quite an old invention actually.  They used to have marcel irons of all shapes and sizes, but now manufacturers stick to conventional shapes and sizes.

Some of my GOTO favorite Marcel Iron sizes are the

1″ Marcel Curling Iron- For perfect loose, polished waves that can imitate a soft blowout.

3/4″ Marcel Curling Iron-  Great for short hair, shoulder length hair and for long loose waves.

 

Which Curling irons are your favorite?

Here is the link to my latest video with some tips and tricks about using a marcel curling iron.  Happy practicing!

New Work! Hairstyle that will repair your hair!

By daven | Published: April 11, 2013

Hi Everyone! It may look like this style is wet, but I used lots of leave-in conditioner to create this look.  Try utilizing the healing qualities of any deep conditioner or leave in conditioner and pair it with a sexy side part for an instant 80′s throwback.

New Work! Real Hair or Fake Hair?

By daven | Published: February 25, 2013

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to show you a new editorial I did with Photographer Rob Deutschmann.  This amazing shot was created by clipping in lots and lots of extensions to create the illusion of fullness.  I razored the ends of all of the clip in extension so that they would fly when our gorgeous model whipped her hair back and forth.  The make up was super chic and glowy, and Patrick Defontbrune chose to leave her skin translucent to show of her amazing freckles.

Do you have super long hair and don’t know what to do with it?

If you are shorter than 5’10, try keeping your hair legnth just past your armpits at the longest to prevent you from looking shorter!

New Work! Short Hair Advice!

By daven | Published: February 18, 2013

This Monday i’m all about short hair.  I wanted to show you an easy style I did on a photoshoot with the amazing photographer Karla Ticas.  I used a 1/2″ curling iron to wave 1/4″ sections back off the face.  I gently teasted the root and pinned sections loosly backwards off the face.  I love the make up that Celebrity Makeup Artist Leibi Carias rocked.  It was a great addition to the elegance of Karla’s photography.

Are you a blonde or were a natural blonde and still struggling to preserve your color?

Unfortunately with lighter hair, the sun,beach and environment can really wash away your color and leave you brassy.  Some of my friends have asked  me which color line is best for blonde hair. My clients seem to like Redken Chromatics the best because of its resistance to fading.

How to pin up your bangs without a bobby pin!

By daven | Published: February 6, 2013

Sometimes when you’re in pe class or on the go you don’t have time to find a bobby pin in your purse.  my friend cindy vela and i are going to show you a way to pin up your bangs without using a bobby pin.

Take a square section from your bangs and comb them backwards take a small 1/4″ section from each side and tie them like a shoelace without the bow.  use the ends to loop it around another 2 or three times.

When you pull the stands of hair you’ll notice it will stay in place and voila! Your bangs are out of your face!

Thank you so much for watching!

I had the opportunity of working with Editorial Photographer Chris Callaway and the amazing Makeup Artist Juanita Lyons. We spent the day create a throw back to old California style with nuances of model beach life.  My inspiration for this look was to create a sexy, chic, effortless girl who always seems to take your breathe away.

If you want to turn up the heat in your life, try a deep side part while sweeping your hair to one side.  It will give you an instant 50′s inspired vibe paird with almost any outfit!

What do you think of this look? Would you ever try it?

Makeup Tip of the Day! Big Faux Eyelashes for Halloween!!

By daven | Published: October 6, 2012

If you’re not used to wearing false lashes, they can seem pretty daunting at first.  The thought of gluing a foreign object to the base of your eyelid isn’t really something that sounds appealing to some people.

This halloween, if you’re itching to try something new and want to give faux lashes a try, I have some tips for you!

1.  Criss Cross Lashes are great to add tons of volume and legnth.  The crossing hairs will help blend into your real eyelashes so that you won’t look like a sleepy cow.

2.  Curl and put mascara on your lashes BEFORE putting on your falsies.  This will help to create a sturdy base to rest the lashes on when you’re frantically trying to stick it onto your eyelid.

3.  Lashes will and can change your eyeshape.  If you’re unsure about which ones will look best on you, try and get ones like these (Picture above) where the hairs are longer in the middle than on the ends.  Its more of a “Bambi” eye =).

Duo has an eyelash glue that comes in black! This is great to hide the glue if you’re doing a smokey eye or are a beginner.  Don’t use the black glue if you’re using light makeup! If you mess up, you’ll have black everywhere!

I got lots of lashes and glue at Target, I’m going to do a tutorial soon on them!

What are your favorite lashes/Glue? I want to know!!!
