Golden Globes Hair 2012

By RMUK on January 23rd, 2012

 

Angelina’s hair style in quite nondescript but it is intended to be this way so all the focus is on her face and dress whereas Natalie Portmans hairstyle has more of a 1920′s look to it.

Salma’s hair was stunning at the awrds, definitely showing her more glamourous side. We love the sun-kissed ends, it’s subtle and warm enough to suit her olive skintone. Her voluminous waves ensured she lead the style stakes on the red carpet.

 

Charlize Theron and Michelle Williams have clearly been influenced by the ‘flapper’ era with their hairbands. Michelle’s is a bit more daring as it is such a contrast to her strawberry blonde crop cut

 

Unsure of Elle’s roots, they are not exaggerated enough to carry off the balage trend, they unfortunately just look like bad regrowth. Though we love the tousled look which is more exaggerated than usual. Unfortunately the same goes for Reece Witherspoon. Maybe a trip to RMUK before a red carpet event is needed next time!

Rooney went for a slick, edgy and grungy but with a red carpet polish. I love that she opted for shine – it would have been easy to go for a matte grunge look but she mixes it up well. Mila’s hair was polished and sleek and has a gorgeous shine! Though could of done with a bit more volume to compliment her round shaped face

 

Julianne’s rich auburn hair colour her pale complexion perfectly. She carries off this vintage style perfectly as it highlights her skin to perfection. Sofia’s hair is perfectly shining, maybe a sign of having a Keratin blow dry beforehand. Her hair is sexy, smooth, and glamourous.

 

Her look was slick and polished as Kate knows how to do red carpet chic. Her tousled up do is sexy and with just the right amount of height at the roots. The warm truffle colour may have been tried time and time again but it works perfectly and she knows it. Michelle works the same look to show off the detail of her dress, perfect!

Our Hair Heroes of 2011

By RMUK on December 29th, 2011

Cheryl Cole
She has gone from brunette and bouffant to blonde and sassy but whatever Cheryl Cole does with it, the nation’s women love her hair. The 28-year-old has been voted Britain’s hair icon for 2011 with thousands envious of her thick, full locks.
 
Jessie J
Best known for her poker straight, ink black bob with a perfect fringe slashed above the eyes , Jessie J brought precision cutting to the forefront of fashion this year with her must-have head-hugging cut in a pristine shade of purest black. This year also saw Jessie experiment with wigs and extensions, showing off a violet bob and silver dip-dye lengths as well as glamorous waves and curls.
 
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
The latest addition to the Royal Family has fast become a firm favourite with the press and public alike thanks to her chic outfits and fabulously blow-dried bouffant. 
Making glossy, gorgeous, natural-looking luxury a trend in itself.
 
Rihanna
A constant style chameleon, Rihanna’s styles this year have ranged from bright red corkscrew curls to a demure blonde for her photoshoot for Vogue magazine
 
Katy Perry
She was announced as the face (and hair) of ghd in April 2011 and Katy Perry continued to keep everyone talking about her barnet throughout the year with colour changes a-go-go. When Katy Perry dyed her hair pink, it didn’t come as that much of a shock to fans as she has been known to change the colour of her locks quite often. From black and pink to blonde and blue, this year has seen Katy give her pin-up girl style a comic-book colourful twist.
 
 
Alexa Chung
Alexa always manages to style her pared-down bob in different ways to keep it looking fresh and new. Straight locks suit the cut of the bob giving a more boyish charm, while gentle waves help soften the style making it a more feminine and vintage look. Alexa has become known as Queen Bee of balyage.
 ”I just like her tossed off hair. It’s chopped, she lets her natural texture come out, she doesn’t look tortured with blow dryers or straightening irons or anything. She is sexy, obviously very sexy, but in a fresh and kind of tomboy-ish way.”
 
Lady Gaga
The queen of kook tamed things down a bit in 2011, switching her OTT multi-coloured wigs for high-octane glamour – albeit with a trademark Gaga twist. 
Mint green bouffants, silver chignons and pastel pink ponytails all ensured the first lady of pop stayed firmly in the spotlight this year.

The big debate 2: Straight v’s curly hair styles

By RMUK on December 29th, 2011

Olivia Palermo regularly switches between straight, wavy and even ringlets! Her straight locks reveal the lustrous thickness of her enviable tresses, while the cute waves help show off the subtle dip-dyed colour effect. Both styles look amazing

Alexa Chung always manages to style her pared-down bob in different ways to keep it looking fresh and new. Straight locks suit the cut of the bob giving a more boyish charm, while gentle waves help soften the style making it a more feminine and vintage look.

Leighton Meester knows exactly how to work her hair to suit her look. Whether ultra modern and edgy with razor-sharp tresses or old-school Hollywood waves, she works her hair into her outfit to perfection – even matching her make-up to the look.

Taylor Swift doesn’t do straight that often, but when she does it’s always spot on. While her natural curls keep her looking sweet and girlie, the straight tresses help give her a more grown-up look.

Dannii Minogue can do things with a bob that no other woman can! The star looks stunning with sleek and chic flapper-girl locks and equally stunning with beach-kissed waves.

Blake Lively has rapidly become our go-to celeb for fabulous A-list hair. Not afraid to experiment with different looks, Blake’s hair lets her be playful with her styles – meaning that she never has a bad hair day.

Tulissa fish plait 2011

By RMUK on December 29th, 2011

‘Tulissa’s fishtail plait is so on trend and was seen at catwalks such as Dior this season. Long or short, they are easy to achieve…’

Tulissa’s hair how-to:

1. Use a strong hold mousse such as L’Oreal Full Volume mousse with a big round brush to achieve maximum volume and body while blow drying the hair.

2. If your hair is short to midi length like Tulissa’s you can easily make a fishtail with hair extensions. A fishtail plait is created with 2 sections crossed over each other. Divide the hair into two (rather than 3 like a traditional plait). Take one section, and pull a tiny bit of hair from underneath (so you’ll now be holding 3 sections.) Pull this over the section. Now do the same on the other side, and keep going (so effectively you’re working with 4 pieces of hair.) If you want to see this done, have a look on youtube for a video.

3. When you have finished the plait run your hand backwards up the plait to achieve a softer finish.
