To get Signature Blowout

, follow these steps:

THE SIGNATURE BLOWOUT
  1. Spray hair liberally with Coiff Thermal/UV Protectant, combing through with a wide-toothed comb.
  2. Apply a nickel-sized amount of Ironless Straightening Balm evenly through hair.
  3. Flip your head over, drying hair upside down until it is approximately 70% dry.
  4. Use a large round brush to dry hair section by section. Always work with the dryer pointed down the hair’s length. Going against growth disrupts the hair cuticle, creating frizz.
  5. When hair is completely dry, rub a small amount of Coiff Ultra-Light Finishing Crème between your palms and “rake” the product through your hair with your hands, focusing on the ends

To get Silky Straight

, follow these steps:

SILKY STRAIGHT IRONLESS
  1. Blot excess water from the hair and apply FEKKAI Silky Straight Ironless Straightening Balm to the hair and comb through to distribute evenly. This step protects the hair from heat damage and creates a silky smooth surface.
  2. With a large round brush, blow dry individual sections, with tension on the brush to achieve sleek, smooth pieces.
  3. When hair is completely dry, apply a small amount of Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless Serum. Using your hands like a flat iron, press the product onto the hair to wrap each strand and keep the hair sleek and chic.
  4. Voila! You have just created the perfect blow dry with Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless products.

EMMA STONE...HELLO RED !!

This red hair color on Emma Stone is so beloved, hairstylists in Hollywood report to Allure Magazine that women are bringing in this picture so they can have this exact gorgeous shade of red.
But can everyone go red? Almost everyone can become a redhead, what's most important is finding the right shade of red. If you want to be a redhead, I suggest not trying it on your own. Get a professional consultation. You won't believe the number of emails I get from women writing in unhappy when they tried to go "ginger." . To make sure you're getting the red hair color you want, "Always have two pictures on hand. One that you love and one that you hate," suggests Amy Huson, a colorist at the Marie Robinson salon, in Allure Magazine. "This way the colorist is sure to see—not just hear—what you want. You may see colors and shades totally different, and sometimes words just don't cut it. You can both discuss the right color, and be on the same page."

Obama's birth certificate ?????/

I am not a birther, yet you have to ponder these little tidbits....hmmmm
 Obama's long form birth certificate shows that his father was from "Kenya East Africa", even though the country "Kenya" did not exist until 2 years after the certificate was supposed to have been issued. The name of the hospital on the birth certificate is also a name that was used until 1978. Finally, Obama's race is shown as "African American", although the proper word used at that time would have been "Negro".

HAIR TRENDS 2011

The latest hair trends are all about feminine and versatile hairstyles, that you can wear one way, then re-style another. Whether you fancy long, medium or extra short hairstyles, read on for tips on how to rock the 2011's best hair trends.

For short hairstyles, "à la garçonne" crops are leading the trends--think Mia Farrow's short cut in Rosemary's Baby. The super-short cap cuts silhouette the head, putting facial features into the spotlight. A haircut this short will suit small, symmetrical features as the face will become the main focus.
Short haircuts can be also suited to diminish features you don't like or enhance ones you do. Debating whether to chop off your precious locks can be daunting and to ease the transition find hairstyle pictures you like and discuss with your stylist if they can work with you, your hair type and face shape.
For a truly versatile short hairstyle, ask for longer layers on top or get layered, wispy bangs that you can direct forward, slick back or poof up for styling variety. A short haircut with longer top layers can be adapted to suit all face shapes and hair textures. You can wear it sleek or tousled, ruffled up with texturizer for daytime, tucked back or spiked up for a chic nighttime look.

Medium hairstyles are one of the most versatile styles around, that's why they are here to stay.
Mid-length hairstyles give you the best of both worlds: the versatility and youthful vibe of short hairstyles and the sexy, feminine length of long locks. Wear it sleek, tousled, curly or choppy; medium hairstyles will be a strong trend for 2011.
Medium length hairstyles can work well with the bouncy blown-out style. Layers are shorter, which means it's easier to style them and will hold the bouncy volume well. Blow-out locks with a brush for a smooth and shiny finish and a little lift at the roots.
For women over 30, medium hairstyles are highly recommended, as over a certain age, long hairstyles can drag down the face and make you look dated. Medium hairstyles are easier to style and will give you lots of volume on top that will draw the eye upward enough to take years off your look.

Long, lengthy locks can look flat and lifeless of styled or cut wrong. Make sure you get a few long layers chipped in to encourage lift at the crown and back.
This will also ease your hair styling routine and will fuse your hair with body and lots of movement.
Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner if your hair tends to fall flat, and backcomb roots at the crown for extra volume after blow-drying.

The 70s are making a comeback for 2011: full, bouncy, glossy, long hairstyles with lots of body that give off a youthful vibe.
The key look is slightly bigger hair with lift at the roots and brushed-out twists all the way through.

One of the haircuts which looks fabulous and which attracts a great amount of attention is the pixie short haircut and in 2011 pixie short hair is still hot. Emma Watson has proved that this crop is still hot, but keep in mind that not everyone can pull off such a short hairstyle. The pixie cut works best for women with an oval face shape and very feminine well proportioned facial features.
If you think this haircut is for you, prepare to be mesmerized by a fabulous, yet very low maintenance look.

Undercut hairstyles are still hot and can offer your look a bit of an edge. Going shorter on the sides of the head or on one side of the head is a new hot trend brought back by singer Cassie and since then the look has been reinvented to suit short crops and looks amazing. The hair receives some versatility and so you will be able to experiment with different looks without having to spend too much time in front of the mirror.
The undercut is not for everyone, so if you are not prepared for a hairstyle which has a bit of modernism attached, avoid this cut and go simpler.

Add bangs to your short crop and make sure to give them a little bit of an edge by cutting them baby short, asymmetrical, choppy or sleek side swept. Bangs and short tresses collaborate perfectly, so boost the sexiness of your short crop by turning towards bangs as well. Maintain the hair in good condition and thus your hair will receive that shine that is highly necessary for any crop to look amazing!

Look Hot This Season By Pumping Up Your Pony Tail

Not that you don’t already know, but I’m sure we can all use a little extra help when it comes to looking sassy this holiday season. I found a great article on DailyMakeover that dissected 20 different ways!

From rocking the right accessories to how to wear a berry lip, they covered all of the sexiest looks of the season. My fave: Pump Up Your Pony Tail AnnaLynne McCord style. Here’s how to get the look: Blow-dry hair, then twirl large Velcro rollers around two-inch sections of hair, blast with heat for five minutes, then remove and lightly brush hair. Tease roots and pull back into a haute ponytail.

brazilian blowout good or bad ????

Women will be sharing hair-raising experiences with Congress this week when they tell lawmakers a popular hair-straightener is a health hazard.
The Brazilian Blowout and other keratin-based hair treatments have been banned by some salons - and some advocates want the feds to make them illegal.
"I call it an STD - straightened to death," said Lorraine Massey, a New York curl expert who doesn't offer the treatments but takes care of clients who have been burned by them.
The best-known of the group is the Brazilian Blowout, a formaldehyde-laced product that some stylists say causes nosebleeds, severe coughing and red eyes.
There have been reports of singed scalps - but many salons continue to tout it as a safe cure for unruly curls.
"If there really is something in these products that is dangerous, we need to know because women will go to any lengths to look good," said Michelle Bender, 42, a SoHo writer who "had little scabs on my scalp" after several hair-straightening treatments.
Women's advocates and California salon workers will brief the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus about their concerns tomorrow.
They are pushing lawmakers to pass the Safe Cosmetics Act, which would ban the use of ingredients that are known carcinogens and give the Food and Drug Administration more authority to recall personal-care products.
California sued the maker of the Brazilian Blowout for false advertising, saying the feds found formaldehyde in the substance, but it claims to be free of the carcinogen.
Federal workplace safety agents have deemed it dangerous, and it's banned in France and Canada.
In New York, many salons use it, though a growing number are avoiding it.
"I find it extremely dangerous to the customer and surrounding clients. I'm not allowing it," said the owner of the midtown salon Ouidad, who also goes by that name.
"It's dangerous to the public, and we need to make a ruling on whether this is acceptable or not."
The maker of the Brazilian Blowout had no immediate comment.
