The red carpet sparkled and shined tonight with award-worthy tresses. We watched the red carpet arrivals with Wella Ambassadors Aura Friedman, Ricardo Rojas and Alexandra Matiz pick out the hair trends they noticed and loved on tonight’s red carpet.

After a whirlwind weekend of holiday parties, the thought of another celebration seems taxing. But ladies, it’s New Years, and they say how you spend your new years is how you will spend the entire year.  And who wants to spend their year fussing over complicated hair?  This season, the hairstyle trend is all about simple elegance with just a touch of pizzazz.
My absolute favorite style for new years is the ponytail.  This look is effortlessly chic with versatility so you can tailor it to your unique style.

One of the positive things that I have discovered about getting older is I have become smarter with my purchases.  I have learned to go with quality over quantity.  Also, the saying, “you get what you pay for”, holds a lot of weight with me these days.  I don’t mind investing in more expensive products if they truly work better and last longer.

I recently was asked to try the HANAair Professional hair dryer and I have to admit I was definitely excited about the proposition.  I had often wondered whether …

The hairstyles on the Fall / Winter 2011 runways ran the gamut, but the looks that stood out as the newest and most exciting were 60‘s styles that played with gender norms, from sculpted “bad boy” updos to flirty, feminine beehives. Yes, there were the usual beachy waves, messy buns, braids and ponytails, but the most exciting looks were super slick side-parts that looked modern and clean contrasted by ladylike confections that proved that classics never die.
Boy Hair:
Tight french twists were paired with sculpted pompadours to create faux “boy” looks.

Being a New Jersey native, I really thought my big, frizzy hair was just a way of life. It was poufy and had way too much body—something I always blamed on humidity, heredity and occasionally even my blow dryer.
 
Then, I heard about Yuko’s brand new Anti-Frizz Treatment and it was like hearing angels sing!  Yuko, the experts in Japanese hair straightening, recently came out with an innovative anti-frizz treatment which promises to make hair more manageable and healthy while minimizing the frizz-factor.  Even better?  It doesn’t contain any of that …

Apparently, shiny hair is in now.  I don’t recall it going out, but I like pretty, glossy hair as much as the next girly-girl, so I won’t quibble.  When I got to test a new shine spray, I had a immediate flashback to my sister’s wedding, and the glitter-shellac spray from Claire’s that the stylist applied to her updo with a heavy hand.  To be fair, my sister looked like a fairytale, but I shy away from anything that could remotely pass for disco-fabulous in my everyday life.
