What Happened to Kendall Jenner’s Hair at the Met Gala? We Have Some Theories
2014 May 6. | Szerző: shannon
A funny thing happened on the way to the Met Gala… in Kendall Jenner’s case, a hair catastrophe. Jenner has had quite an absurd few months in terms of her fashionable endeavors, from her couture modeling debut at Marc Jacobs to a once-in-a-lifetime walk at the Chanel supermarket. In addition, her questionable choices at Coachella landed her firmly on the fashion infamy list. The young member of the Kardashian clan posted a gorgeous Instagram selfie earlier this evening, depicting the model wearing a streamlined strapless gown and a lightly waved coif. It appeared the the world was in for a shockingly chic Kendall Jenner fashion moment. But somewhere between her hotel suite and the Met Gala red carpet, her hair went from fabulous to frightening. Though the hairstyle looked voluminous in Jenner’s selfie, by her Met Ball entrance, it looked windblown and messy in the worst possible way. What possibly could have created such a disastrous change? Here are our theories.
1. Dad Bruce decided that Kendall’s ‘do wasn’t quite right and attacked her hair with a brush as she ran out the door.
2. Kendall got into a tussle with Kim over her gown, as everyone knows Mrs. Kanye West must be the fairest of them all.
3. Anna Wintour discovered that Kendall had somehow procured an invitation to the event and ordered security to prevent her from entering.

4. As the little Kardashian clan member was exiting the limo, paparazzi clambering for a photo somehow tripped the bewildered reality star.
5. A wayward bird noticed Kendall’s gravity-defying ‘do and mistook it for a nest.

7. A fervent fashionista who was offended by Kendall’s Coachella style flub attempted to ruffle Jenner’s feathers…so to speak.
We may never know what happened to Kendall or why her hair looks so mussed, but we certainly hope she has a serious chat with her hairstylist after the Ball.
The Health And Safety Lowdown On 4 Common Hair Products
2014 April 8. | Szerző: shannon
With all the hair care products available, consumers can easily become entangled in their choices. Some products promise to be gentler on hair, while others offer thickening or smoothing solutions, but not all of these claims are scientifically based.
Despite their uplifting promises, some products can be just a waste of money, and some can actually damage the hair, said Dr. Nicole Rogers, an assistant professor of dermatology at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Here are some tips to help you decide which hair care products to buy, as well as the lowdown on the science of some commonly touted ingredients.
Are sulfate-free shampoos really better?
Sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate are two of the most common shampoo ingredients. These chemicals are what make shampoos turn into a thick lather in the shower, which removes dirt and debris from hair.
Recently, sulfates have come under attack for being harsh on the hair by removing natural oils, causing frizziness and damage to dyed hair. Now, many products bear a “sulfate-free” label, and these are often more expensive than their counterparts.
However, Rogers said there is no scientific evidence that sulfate-free shampoos are gentler on the hair than shampoos that contain sulfate.
Similarly, no scientific data supports marketing claims that some sulfate-free shampoos extend the life of hair color or keratin treatments, Rogers said.
It is possible that some people, particularly those with the skin condition eczema, are sensitive to sulfates. There have been a few reports linking sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate to contact dermatitis in some people. For these people, sulfate-free shampoos can be beneficial, Rogers said.
Are keratin treatments safe?
Keratin treatments are touted for their ability to smooth and straighten hair, turning the tightest curls into silky threads, with an effect lasting up to five months.
However, in addition to keratin, these products contain the dangerous chemical formaldehyde, often exceeding the concentrations permitted in Canada and European countries. Keratin treatment products have also been cited numerous times by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for using higher levels of formaldehyde than are allowed in the United States.
Formaldehyde can harm the eyes, lungs and nasal passages, Rogers said. The chemical is also thought to be a carcinogen.
Moreover, there is no data showing that keratin treatments can strengthen the hair. Rather, the high-heat flat irons needed to seal the formaldehyde into the hair shaft can cause long-term damage to the hair, Rogers said.
Are hair-thickening products safe?
Products marketed as hair thickeners temporarily coat the hair shaft to make hair look thicker, but they cannot change the natural density of hair. The thickening effect will only last until the hair is washed.
Rogers said that these products are very safe, and advised consumers to look for hair-thickening products that contain hydrolyzed keratin or dimethicone, which coat the hair shaft to make hair appear thicker.
Some hair-thickening products now being marketed also contain the drug minoxidil, which can boost the density of thinning hair and create noticeably thicker hair. Minoxidil is the only topical medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration to regrow hair and slow future hair loss, Rogers said.
Should heat protectants be used when blow drying?
Heat from hair dryers, flat irons or curling irons can be very damaging to hair, and cause a condition that dermatologists call bubble hair: When the water in the hair is heated and turns to steam, it causes bubbles to form within the hair shaft. The result is brittle hair, with frizzy ends.
To counteract the effects of heat, Rogers recommended using a heat protectant before applying any heat to the hair. These products are sprayed or applied onto the hair, and contain protective polymers and silicones that insulate hair from heat.
Also, it is better to use the lowest temperature settings on hair dryers, and use heat as little as necessary and for the shortest time possible, Rogers said.
For hair already damaged by heat, moisturizing the hair regularly can help reduce the appearance of heat damage, but it cannot repair the hair, Rogers said. Cutting damaged hair, and allowing healthy hair to regrow, can also improve your locks’ appearance.
For a healthy and lustrous mane
2013 December 23. | Szerző: shannon
For brides-to-be, even the most dazzling and stunning outfits will not have the desired effect if their tresses are dull and lifeless. Read on to know what you can do to keep your hair shining and radiant on your D-Day.
Dry hair. Dull hair. Overly curly and unmanageable hair. Oily hair. Dandruff. Hair fall. These are the problems you want to get rid of before your wedding date draws closer, if you wish to have smooth and shiny hair. And like Rome wasn’t built in a day, you cannot expect to relieve yourself of these problems if you wait till the eleventh hour.
While women with normal hair can begin tending to their hair a month before, those battling hair fall and dandruff need to start preparing well in advance to get best results, say doctors and hair specialists.
“Dandruff and hair fall necessitate specific treatments, targeting the causal factor so that problem is curbed, and this takes time. Hence, it is advisable for such women to start hair care regimes 3-4 months before the wedding,” says cosmetic dermatologist Dr Jaishree Sharad. “Hair vitamins like biotin, amino acid supplements are prescribed. For application, hair serums that contain plant extracts like cysteine and methionine, nourish and give a shine to the hair,” she adds. She also says that dandruff is treated according to its type. For an oily scalp, dandruff ketaconazole shampoo and anti-fungal tablets work well whereas for a dry scalp dandruff, the treatment is application based.
Many brides-to-be opt for salon treatments to make their manes wedding-ready. However, even this calls for an early appointment with the salon expert. Monaz Cooper of Kamal’s salon has lengthy consultation with clients who will be tying the knot in order to understand their lifestyle that comprises their eating, working and sleeping habits. All these differ from person to person and have an impact on the hair.

“It is thus important to know your client so that you can recommend the right kind of treatment. For instance, L’Oréal has come up with the Mythic Oil ritual that is best suited to treat dry and frizzy hair as it cleanses the root and nourishes the ends. Even highly curly hair can be tamed with the right shampoo and mask used over a period of minimum four sittings,” Cooper explains.
If you want to sport a new hairstyle, it is safe to go for it two months in advance to make sure you get comfortable with it. This will also make it easier to choose the hairdo that suits your new style.
Home remedies will always be a part of beauty regimes and you can easily whip up natural ingredients for hair wash and conditioning. “Make a paste out of hibiscus leaves and aritha or reetha (soap nut) to wash your hair. Following this you can apply a conditioner made of olive or almond oil and a spoon of fresh aloevera extract,” suggests Dr Sharad.
The most important, however is the diet intake, she says. As much as external care, consumption of protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken and walnuts that have high omega 3 fatty acids, will ensure that the hair gets the required nourishment.
So, make sure you pamper your hair well before the wedding and make heads turn your way!

A Fake Redhead’s Guide To Fake Red Hair Maintenance
2013 November 13. | Szerző: shannon
I’ve been a fake redhead since I was 17. The drastic color change brought loads of new feelings into my life and I haven’t been able to switch palettes since.
Red hair has become synonymous with me — you know how in reality TV, everybody has one characteristic? Mine would be Red Hair and Glasses.
And while I’ll never go back to mousy brown color again, I have been debating switching over to the blonde. But right now, I’m sticking with fake ging. And I’ve learned quite a bit about maintaining and working with all sorts of different shades and colors during my three-year tenure. Allow me to explain.
Living With & Loving The Inevitable Fade
Maintaining truly ginger-esque hair is a hassle because the color fades faster than any other. I used to let my red/auburn hair fade out over a period of around five weeks. It was lighter and more orange ginger than red ginger — people told me it looked super natural!
I actually liked the faded orange-y color more than the red. If you, too, want a quick fade after you’ve dyed your hair too bright or just like it that way, try Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. It’s a great color stripper and smells like babies would. I just want to smell like your babies, OK?!
The Perfect Cherry Red
I’ve never managed to get perfectly cherry, cherry hair, but I did my best. Like I said, red fades the most and the fastest of all dyed colors, so keeping vibrant hair going can be a struggle. I’ve managed to stretch my brightness out for several months at a time (not counting my roots, which are super slow-growing).
Keep in mind, though, that after three years as a redhead and constant dyes and touch-ups, my hair is completely soaked in red. Anyway. Ice Cream by Ineybra is the best drugstore brand for hair coloring stuff. I never buy fancy hair stuff at Sephora or salons, but I should start, because I want to amp up the softness in my hair.

Inebrya’s Ice Cream Kromask in Cherry Red is amazing for maintaining vibrant red — slather it onto freshly washed & towel-dried hair, leave it for about 5-10 minutes, and then wash out. Please wear gloves! This is basically cream dye and it will seep into your skin and you will have horrible red rash hands for a week if you don’t. TRUST ME. I would do it about once or twice a week.
Another way I keep my color is by throwing a dab of the mask into my shampoo (currently using Vidal Sassoon’s color protection shampoo) and conditioner (currently using dollar store Herbal Essences. Shut up). That way, I don’t have to go through the hassle of doing the mask, and I still get the color-amplifying benefits.
So You Want Plum?
Whenever I use John Frida’s Precision Foam (3VR, “Deep Cherry Brown”) dye, I end up getting a very dark, purple-y color that ends up fading to red/reddish purple over time.
I’ve found that I actually kind of enjoy the plum shades, so here’s how to play it up: First, get an actual plum dye if you want a more concrete color instead of a messy fade. To keep my hair bright and colorful and different, I throw a couple dabs of Hot Hot Pink Manic Panic into my shampoo. It gives it some depth.
The Resting State: Auburn
Most of the time my hair is somewhere between cherry red and auburn — brighter than most natural redheads, but not blood-red enough to be Cat Valentine [ed note from Abby: For non-youngs like me, Cat Valentine is the red-headed character Ariana Grande plays on “Victorious.” I had to Google it. Though I proudly (?) knew who Ariana was.]
During these phases my upkeep is much the same as I mentioned earlier, except I don’t actually use the Ice Cream hair mask. I just add a few globs of pink/red dye in my shampoo to lightly brighten the color without overpowering it with SUPER RED.
The dye I use most often is Nice n’ Easy 6R. It provides good coverage, a nice color and an easy fade into ginger. However, I’ve tried others in my quest for the “Perfect Red” and most have disappointed me. The John Frieda dye I’ve mentioned is really good for dark color, but it fades relatively easily without constant care and upkeep. I’m really excited about the new L’Oreal mousse dye — it comes in a reusable container so you can touch up your roots, and the colors available are pretty fabulous.
The photos you see are of my current red color, which hasn’t been touched up in two months. The first month I used my pink-infused shampoo and lately I’ve been using the Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo in an attempt to strip out the color to make bleaching easier.
Don’t judge me — I’m lazy and broke! Although, I’m rethinking it a little now — kinda want the plum back.
I love my red hair. Like my glasses, I’ve had red hair for long enough that I don’t know who I am without it. But a part of me is always longing for change. Maybe it’s because I get jittery sitting still for too long, or because I can sometimes be a huge commitment-phobe. Or maybe it’s because when the going gets tough, I run away and download music from 2006 and do stupid things to my hair.
How to wear the hottest haircut
2013 October 11. | Szerző: shannon
TOI’s comprehensive guide to this season’s hottest haircuts and how to wear them
So, the party season is just hotting up with allnight Navratri dancing, chased by Diwali taash parties, and New Years to wrap it all up in a neat glittering bow. You’ve got yourself a fresh wardrobe. You can’t get yourself a new face. But, you can radically change the way it looks by getting a mint new haircut.
Depending on whether you are in the mood for a few snips of a full-on carving session, here’s an 8-style chart to help you pick the crop of your choice.
The don draper
It’s the side part synonymous with the ’60s, made popular by the ad executive who wants to stay in power. Ask your barber to give you the simple scissor trim, to take it tight at the sides and leave it log at the top. Here’s the styling that’s key. Start by washing your hair with an oil-free shampoo. Rub a 50p size blob of gel into it and use the edge of your comb to pull your hair back and make the side parting. Be precise. Comb the top section over to the side, and the side section down, and back. The front needs a lift. When you comb it, raise it slightly into a soft quiff. Akshay Kumar gets it right
The pompadour undercut
Here, the sides and the top are treated as distinct identities. What this does is gives you more length on top, say five inches, and shorter sides. The hair is swept upwards from the face to create height on top. It can be worn textured or straight. For styling you need a volumizer, a blow dryer and your fingers. Blast the dryer on high and use your fingers to work your hair upwards. Pull it forward and bend it back so you get the quiff shape (dry your roots too). Keep working your fingers through the roots to create movement from within. A generous dollop of gel will stiffen the pomade. Think Shammi Kapoor, and Elvis. Davi Beckham gets it right.
Gordon gekko slick back
Inspired by the character played by Michael Douglas in the 1987 hit Wall Street (who never left home without his suspenders, bold striped shirts and slicked-back hair), the Gordon Gekko works on straight hair and slightly long hair (short, and it veers towards spikes) and spells power-dressing. A good quality hair gel is your weapon. Use it on dry hair and then run a pump of hair serum over the top. Rake it through with your fingers backwards, and you are good to go. Saif Ali Khan gets it right
The James Franco
This one’s for those who have a bit of a wave. Ask the hairstylist to keep it trimmed on the sides and back but longish with jagged layers on top, so that it can be fashioned into a coif with a bit of gel to hold it down. It allows the natural wave to fall in place. Looks best on those with a lean face and prominent jawline. No one but Franco can get this one right
The long buzz
This is the grown out version of the buzz. No styling, no combing. Just shampoo and go. Make sure the back is styled well. You don’t want to end up looking like the politico who went to a ‘saloon’. Brad Pitt got it right in Oceans Eleven.
The better Caesar
This one is a laidback shape. Get the sides to be short (you can even opt for clippers) and leave the locks above lengthier. Think Julius Caesar but better styled. George Clooney gets it right.
Keep coloured hair vibrant
2014 July 2. | Szerző: shannon
We offer some top tips on battling the hair fade courtesy of top salon colourist Jack Howard.
It’s a problem faced by women the world over – how to stop your hair colour fading. There is nothing worse than taking your time to pick the perfect shade with your colourist, sitting in the salon chair for hours and then handing over, usually a staggering amount of, your hard-earned money just for the shade to disappear down the plug hole when you wash your tresses. So what steps can you take to prevent such a disaster?
Jack Howard in Britain’s leading Balayage expert and the International Colour Director at Neville Hair & Beauty. He’s worked with the likes of Britney Spears and Poppy Delevingne in the past, so is up on caring for coloured hair. First up, Jack dismissed claims that red tresses are the worst for fading.
“Fact: red hair colour fades as much as other coloured hair, but because it’s a much brighter shade than blondes or brunettes, it can be more noticeable,” he explained to Cover Media.

“Invest in good colour locking products like Kerastase Thermo Heat Protector – their sun range will help as it has UV and UVA protection. Another tip is to rinse the colour in white vinegar as this can help to prevent the fade in coloured hair. Make sure that you keep red hair in the best condition possible, especially in between salon touch-ups. I’d recommend using colour refresh shampoos like Shu Uemura as this will keep your colour looking vibrant every day.”
The star colourist also gave some tips on maintaining blonde locks. Here it’s brassiness which is the real enemy, but Jack insists if you get things right to begin with that shouldn’t be something you’ll even have to consider.
“First of all ensure that your shade of blonde is the right colour in the first place,” he advised. “If it’s the right blonde for you it shouldn’t go brassy at all – it’s all about the right level of lift in the first place. Again, using the best aftercare products (and colourist) will keep your blonde looking beautiful.”
Many women mix up their hair as often as they do their wardrobe, but it’s also easy to get stuck in a colour rut. If you’re all about the change or more cautious when it comes to your hair, Jack has some tips of the looks which are going to be big news over the coming months.
“This year clients are saying goodbye to foil highlights and that boring regimented look; it’s all about A-list glamour and natural sun kissed colour which you get with the Balayage technique. For brunettes the key colour is ‘Bronde’ – a hybrid of blonde and brunette. It’s the colour du jour – you’ll look like you’ve just stepped out of a Céline ad!” he smiled.
