Beauty Tip of the day! Halloween is right around the corner!

By daven | Published: October 3, 2012

Halloween has got to be one of my favorite holidays! Its the only that zombies, faeries, ghouls, and celebrity impersonations can been seen at the same place all having fun! I’m going to be doing lots of celebrity transformations this month on my Youtube Channel.

If you’re looking for the perfect costume this year and want to think outside of the box and opt out of being something pretty, try a dead bride, zombie fashion mogul, or a vampire vixen!

Whatever you decide to choose, please be safe this year and don’t drink and drive!

This Blood Line kit has fake blood, flesh, and all you would need to create amazing effects and add some drama to your costume! I think i’m going to be a mad scientist this year!!!!

Here are some of my tips when using fake blood and special effecds

1.  Always make sure you cover EVERYTHING that the fake blood might drip on. IE tablecloths, clothes, valuables etc.  These pigments (Especially Red) are very difficult to wash out and can leave stains!

2.  Now days, most of these products are NON-Toxic, but always double check when buying products for children!

3.  Don’t eat candy from strangers! Make sure its sealed and from a known source! Safety First!

What are you going to dress up as? What are your plans?

Hair Trend of the Day! October 2, 2013 Lanvin SS 2013 Paris Fashion Week

By daven | Published: October 2, 2012

While were still in the midst of the buzz of paris fashion week, I figured it would be great to feature all of the looks from one of my favorite fashion hairstylists in the business.
Redken Creative Consultant Guido created an easy, natural style at the Spring 2013
Lanvin show in Paris, France.

The Collection was packed full of well-cut, wearable looks for a “today’s woman” What perfect way to compliment the clothes than by pairing it a beautiful flowing texture.

“At Lanvin today, the hair is back to very natural. It’s beautiful yet easy, with an emphasis on texture and tucked behind the ears. She’s a very cool girl, and the teasing we did gave her a little bit of attitude.”
-Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Here some of my tips on how to get this lovely undone hair.

1.  Rough blowdry your hair with your favorite blow dry lotion.

2. Create a deep side part and blow dry hair until its completely dry.

3.  Gently tease your roots to add some texture and tuck your hair behind your ears to give it some bend away from your face.

4.  Wrap your ends around a large barrel iron if you need to tame some frizz.  Leave the ends on the straighter side to help keep it undone.

xoxo Have fun with your hair fashion!

Hair Tip of the Day! October 1st!

By daven | Published: October 1, 2012

Christian Dior had a beautiful Spring Summer show for 2013.
The refined, chic collection of the Paris Runway Dior Show was nothing less than breathtaking.

Guido, Creative Consultant for Redken, created an amazing look for the show with a couple twists on the classic ponytail.

“We did a low, shiny ponytail at Dior today, and it’s important to note that it
really complements the very dramatic eye that Pat McGrath did. It’s not frilly
but it’s very strong, very utilitarian. The simplicity of the ponytail gives this
stripped-back feeling that I was going for.” -Guido Creative Consultant for Redken

Guido chose to use the Redken Satinwear prepping blow dry lotion to give a sleek, manageable shine to all of the models hair. This magical lotion will help to reduce friction and breakage for a faster, easier blowout!

Here are a couple of my tricks when using a blowdry lotion like this one.

1.  Always distribute the majority of the product on midshaft of your hair and work your way to the ends! If lots of product gets distributed to your scalp and roots, you may end up looking greasy, crazy, and homeless =)

2.  Try to blow dry your hair in small 1/4″ sections.  Be patient and take your time, it will be worth it! Wrap your hair around a velcro roller if you have curly hair to help it set straight while it cools.

XOXO Happy Blowdrying!

Hm. . .what kind of hairspray is the a good “Non-Hairspray Hairspray”?

By daven | Published: September 13, 2012

“Non-Hairspray Hairspray”?

If you know exactly what I mean when I say that, then you have been a victim of crispy, alcohol smelling, bad hairspray that probrably damaged your hair more then held it into place.

Hairsprays that are lower quality have higher alcohol levels and can be very damaging to the locks you are trying to grow out.

I like a variety of hairsprays, but one of my favorites right now is the Kenra Art Formation Finishing Spray. It gives lots of volume, and a crushable hold great for holding up any style.

Here are some of my tips when using hairspray

1. Always spray it about 12 inches away from your hair and spray it in circular motions to help diffuse the mist.

2.  Let your hair dry before doing too much to it.  Some hairsprays are working hairsprays, which are meant to be used before ironing and teasing, but others, like this one from Kenra, is a finishing spray, meant to freeze your style into place while giving it a touchable hold.

3.  Keep your hairspray cans away from your curling irons! Your hairspray can and will explode if left next to a curling iron while its on full heat! Beauty is fun but always be careful!!!

What is your favorite hairspray????

I hate my hair, I hate my life, I hate saying the word hate

By daven | Published: September 13, 2012

I always focus on the the negative things in life first before I realize the positive.  Its just the way I was built.  I now train myself to think about the good things about myself before I let negative thoughts into my mind.

Try this next time you’re having a “not so fresh day”

Lavandula Angustifolia- One of my favorite flowers =) Keeps me happy =)

Affirmation 1-

“I am exactly where I am supposed to be in life, and tommorow will always be a brand new begining.”

Affirmation 2 -

“My car sucks, my class sucks, I hate my hair, I hate my neighbors, I hate this that etc.. . .

Try replacing the word “Hate” with “dislike” or “Do not Like”.  Hate is such a strong word, and you should stay far from it =) Yaaay world peace!

Affirmation 3-

“I don’t need to know where I will be tommorow, all I need to know is that I have today!”

I know you girls get a little catastrphic “Once a month” so yeah, hopefully one of these affirmations will help ease your “End Of The World Blues”

I love you!

Help my Flat hair!

By daven | Published: September 12, 2012

“Help me my hair is sooooo flat!” – Annie F.

Hi everyone, I always get tweets about how to help you all take care of your hair! I just can’t fit all of my advice on the little Twitter msg box =( Its so frustrating!

One of my BFF’s asked me what she should do for her super flat, stick striaight hair.

Here is my advice for flat hair in three easy steps.

1.  Change Shampoos-  Constantly using the same shampoo can result in buildup and can weigh your hair down, especially if you have fine hair.

2.  Let your hair dry in a top knot.  Let your hair dry in a loose top knot bun to help boost up the roots during the drying process.  Make sure your hair isn’t super tight, or else you might break off more than you’d like =( Super sad face.

3.  Try a volume dry shampoo! I love the Volume Maker by Shu Uemura.  I recently reviewed it for the Fall Issue of Genlux Magazine as one of my top 10 Picks that will Perk up your hair this fall!

What are some of your advice for achieving mega volume? I want to know!
