Step 1:  Spray the hair with a thermal heat protectant before you begin to use any hot tools.

Step 2:  Start by wrapping the hair half way up the strands with a 1″curling iron and work down to the ends-this creates big, soft, sexy waves and it give your hair lots of added dimension.

Step 3:  When finished curling, take a small section of  hair (1″or less) at the top right side of the head and braid. Secure the braid with a clear elastic band.

Step 4:  Weave the braid in and out of the curled hair, securing it with a bobby pin underneath the hair so it is hidden. There are no specifics in how you weave your braids though your curls, so play with it to find the look you like.

Step 5:  Repeat step 3 on the left side of the head followed with step 4. Mist with a finishing spray, to lock in the style. And, try a spritz of a shine spray for some extra added glamour!

Surprise Pops of Color Winter is a great time to play with rich hues by adding a few pops of jewel toned highlights. How to Style: 1. Apply smoothing cream to towel dried hair. 2. Blow dry with a paddle brush to achieve maximum smoothness. 3. Use a flat iron to smooth any unruly locks and give layers around your face a subtle bend on the ends. Product Recommendation: A good shampoo and conditioner are the foundation to any style (you wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, would you?). Since the air is drier during the winter months, make sure to nurse your locks with extra hydration. I recommend Onesta’s Hydrating Shampoo & Moisture Balance Conditioner. Face Shape and Hair Density:  This style is great for any face shape and for medium to thick densities. I’ll Take My Waves On The Side Take one look at the red carpet and you’ll find almost every actress is loving the side swept look. How to Style: 1. Starting with clean dry hair, cu...

New Oz The Great And Powerful posters released starring Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams

Oz The Great And Powerful is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year, but to increase our excitement even more new posters have been released showing each of the main stars in character. MILA KUNIS AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS DAZZLE IN OZ TRAILER The glossy shots show Mila Kunis as Theodora, in a gorgeous velvet wide brimmed hat with matching red coat. For a fairytale finish her skin glows and eyes look suitably alluring. In total colour contrast, Michelle Williams is every inch the perfect good witch as she plays Glinda wearing a Cinderella-esque affair with a metallic tiara. In place of the star’s blonde crop is tumbling curls a la Kate Middleton. Rachael Weisz who brings to life the Wicked Witch of the East, Evadora, is clad in a sparking emerald green dress complete with a feathered fascinator and cape. She looks alarmingly good in this role. MILA KUNIS’ HACKER JAILED FOR 10 YEARS And to finish off the set is James Franco who plays the Wizard of Oz himself wea...
