Valentino Haute Couture 2015 Hair
Hey beauty lovers, it was an utterly gorgeous affair this season at the Paris Haute Couture 2015 runways. After returning home to L.A. for several days and now packing my bags for the nearing fashion month, I wanted to take a moment to share my favorite look from the Couture shows I worked on, which is also, in my opinion, the most elegant updo of 2015 thus far! Behold the soft hair crowns at Valentino Haute Couture:

Fresh baby flowers and clean hair. Not much product was needed to achieve this soft virginal 'do created by Guido, mostly just a fine mist of Redken hairspray after for hold. We took a section from one side behind the ear, split it in two and started twisting one piece over the other forward, following the hairline, adding little sections of hair to each new twist. This is known as a rope-braid, which you can discover easily on the interwebs! This version for Valentino was wrapped gently, so we could loosen it around the face for a pretty and effortless look.

I love this because it is a totally accessible style for everyday, especially for Spring! Think cotton dresses, music festivals and Sundays at the park. You cannot go wrong taking hair tips from a Valentino show, always a great source of effortless and elegant inspiration!
Best of Hair: Men's Fashion Week 2015
Ciao Ciao! As menswear designer shows are wrapping up in Milano and London, here is a look at the best hairstyles for 2015- and why your coif should take a vacation.

At the shows this season, I've seen a major comedown from perfectly groomed cuts and a return to loose strands and face-framing fringes. It's the anti-fade: natural, disheveled not-too-short styles seen at Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Vivienne Westwood. And this shift encompasses all men's hair textures from dead straight, to wavy, curly and coiled.
The must-do: get bangs. Draw your hair forward and get it razored out. Including guys with long hair, don't be afraid of the frontal chop. Check it out:

How-to: Let your short haircut grow out and voilà. If the shape gets too round on the sides hit up your hairdresser and have them chisel away at the silhouette.
Europe: Haute Couture and Men's Fashion Week Is Upon Us!
in Hair News
The Fall 2015 Haute Couture and menswear season is nearly here! I will be hopping a plane arriving in London Friday, which is Princess Kate Middleton's birthday btw, seems like a lucky day to kick off the new fashion season, right?
Preparing my bags with Euro tools and clippers (buzzer as they call it in the UK) ready for some amazing hair behind the scenes at shows such as McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Versace and Valentino, shall be quite a roller coaster ride ;)
It will be freezing so I'm stocking up on Uniqlo under layers and stockings, as well as packing my warmest hat which happens to be a Brooklyn Nets pom beanie from a game this season (fairly loud tourist indicator, although much less eyesore than a fanny pack, but hey a gal's gotta stay warm!).
I'll be posting updates and inspiration from the coolest runway shows- stay tuned ;D
The Nets won that day
