  • What Are Corset Braids?

    Hi Dames! There are new braid styles hitting the gram and I wanted to bring them to surface to show you what’s the happs!  They were first seen on Erika Jayne done by Clyde Haygood and Rita Ora done by Cesar Ramirez. Corset braids are 2 corn rows with a bit of distance between them and connected together through a string woven in between the braids. This resembles a corset lace up. Clyde did it going straight down the middle of the braid making the braid itself look like a corset. Bottom line, buy some string and have fun! Check out the video below to see how it looks !

  • Is Pink Hair Still In This Summer?

    Dames! Pink hair for summer yes please!! Rose Gold, blorange, baby pink, red pink, purple pink, melting into pink, you name it , its cool and in for summer. I myself just did a rendition of rose gold color and I’m obsessed! I never want to wash my hair! You can do it to. If you already have blonde highlights and you just want it for a few days, its so easy to do for a quickie look.  It will wash out (don’t use punky color).  Take any manic panic color that you like, mix it with white conditioner and put it on your hair when its wet, comb it through and leave for 10 min.

     

    ***Quick Tip** When you mix the pink with the conditioner, whatever color you see in the bowl will be the color in your hair.

    Have fun Dames this summer!

  • Trend Alert: Caramel Hair Is All the Rage!

    Gigi has been spotted cheating on her All-American blonde locks with a toffee-colored mane

    Hi, Dames! Hair color is a funny thing. Platinum hair has really taken the lead in trends for a while now, mostly because pastels are still raging hard and the only way to get a pastel color is to bleach the hair first. Therefore, everyone wants a platinum base.

    If you’re a more natural girl, the runner up with hair color is caramel! It’s already spring and everyone is lightening up for summer. I predict variations of this color will loom over the hot months and caramel tones will reign this year in general. Why? It’s very low maintenance and, let’s face it, who has the time for more? Caramels and toffee hair tones are easy and go well with almost every skin tone. They transition well with blonde and the reality is everyone, even the Kardashian Klan, loves this tone from time to time. You can get with the program! Below are some examples of variations I love:

  • Add Spring Pastels To Your Hair!

    4205acfe4166fead721b67a86472fe07

    Dames, Spring is here! I personally think it’s so much fun to play with the color of our hair to reflect and match the current season. Spring is way more than sun and sunflowers – it’s festivals, pastels in hair and floral patterns on your dress. Giving your hair a hint of pastel is so on trend right now, here’s a couple ways you can do it.

    1) Go to your stylist and show her a pic of the hottest influencers on IG and tell her you want that hair. This could be pricey, but obviously it will look amaze.

    2) If you are already blonde you can get a Manic Panic pastel color (the famous Creamtones) and mix it with conditioner if you want your color to be extra light. After washing your hair,  apply the colored conditioner to your hair when it’s damp. Leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse. If you just want a small streak in your hair, separate out the piece you want and apply the color.

    Spring pastels!

    3) If you have dark hair or  just want some temporary color, extensions are your best bet.  You can always check out Etsy, for some cool color combos. Supporting our local artists is always an awesome way to go. Or, you could purchase some blonde clip-ins and color them following directions above.

    Hope this inspires you for some cool pastel tones this season, Dames! Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Glimpse Into NYFW: Hair Trends Coming Our Way

    nyfw2-2

    NYFW week was last month and it left us all feeling exhausted in NYC. I had to take the last couple of weeks to really dive into to each show and take it all in. I want to tell you about some trends that are sticking around for a while! There are three of them: natural texture, middle parts, and the wet look!  Works out for me, because these are my three go to’s!

    This last look is my go to when I have 1-day or 2-day old hair and want to look chic. Check out my video on how to create a wet look here:

    The looks that come out on this runway every year don’t just affect the clothing we all purchase the next year but influence the looks of hair trends and hairstyles you will see everyone rockin’, which makes me excited because these are looks everyone can pull off!  My favorite looks are here to stay. Make sure to tune in next Sunday for my recap on what happened at all Fashion Weeks worldwide.

  • Blorange Color Trend: Yay or Nay?

    bloranage hair trend

    Hi, Dames! Is everyone noticing this rosé colored hair trend that is all over IG? Yeah, me too. It’s called Blorange! I’m not mad at it… I mean, it was hot like 2 years ago but back then it was just called rose gold.  Leave it to the millennials to give it a cool name! It’s fun to mix up your blonde from time to time. It’s easy to do it yourself at home. Don’t be afraid, it washes out easily, especially if you use Manic panic. Manic panic does not have metallic salts in it, therefore it naturally fades a little bit after every wash. This is great if you like to mix it up. The color of the blorange will take differently on all parts of your hair where you have different colors. The trick is using the tone that you like to mix and you will love the variation that you have no matter how it picks up.

    blorange hair clor

    Instructions:

    Pick two Manic Panic creamtone colors you like: one on the rosey side, one on the golden side. Take a little bit of each and mix together. In a separate bowl, put a heaping amount of white conditioner. It can be any conditioner, so use an inexpensive one that allows you to be liberal with the amount you coat on your hair. Take your mix of color and slowly add it to the conditioner.

    *NOTE* The color you see in the bowl is going to be the color that your hair turns. That’s why you need to add it slowly. If you want it more on the pastel side just add a tiny bit, if you want it more vibrant, add accordingly. Have fun with it!

     

    Below is a few of my favorite IG posts of the color in different variations that I love.
