DryBar New York

Finally! L.A's famed Drybar is opening in New York tomorrow! The salon offers $40 blowouts—it doesn't matter what length your hair is or if you curl it or flat iron it—it's still gonna be $40.

I attended an editor's preview earlier this week. The salon is gorgeous—clean and bright with accents of yellow. You chose from a photo menu of blowouts, including Straight Up (straight hair), Southern Comfort (lots of volume) and Mai Tai (beachy waves).

A few of the things I love about the salon:

• It's open at 7 a.m. on weekdays so you can get a day of blowout before an important meeting.
• It's open 7 days a week, so you're not stuck on a Monday with bad hair.
• It has iPod docking stations.
• You can book appointments online.
• They show fun movies. While I was there, Bride Wars and Mean Girls were on.

• Packages are available. The more blowouts you buy, the bigger the discount.
• You can purchase snacks like trail mix and Swedish fish.


My only complaint: While my stylist was adorable and sweet and gave me an amazing blowout, he was a bit inexperienced. The blowout took longer than an hour and he made small mistakes like getting the blow dryer cord tangled, but I'm sure with time those kinks will be worked out. After all, DryBar's first official day open is tomorrow.

Gretta Monahan's Hair Tips for Travel — and Giveaway!

Between dry air on the plane and the stress of getting to the airport, it can be a challenge to land with perfect looking hair. Dove hairstylist Gretta Monahan (above left) shares some of her top tips:

• To combat dry cabin air, be sure to pack a hydrating spray mist for your face and an oil-based serum for your hair. Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum* instantly smoothes flyaways, without weighing hair down. Plus, it is less than 3.4 oz, so you can apply at 30,000 feet!

• If you are in a rush to get to the airport, one fail-safe option for long locks is to apply a smoothing cream. Then, twist hair into a high bun and secure with a loose elastic. When you land, take out the bun and rake your fingers through for loose, shiny waves.

• For a quick and easy style, pop into the airplane or airport bathroom to pull your hair into a low, slightly-to-the-side pony—simple, but also fresh and modern. Add a bit of volume to the roots by teasing with a small brush, gather hair low behind one ear, and secure with a clear elastic. This style looks best when it is a bit “undone,” so finish with a flexible hold hairspray for perfectly imperfect plane hair.

• For shorter ‘dos, a soft bandeau headband is a great fix. They are easy to pack and available in a variety of fabrics, colors, widths and price points to complement any look and budget.



*GIVEAWAY ALERT: JSG is giving away 10 bottles of the new Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum so you can try it for yourself. Email us at jsggiveaway@gmail.com with Dove in the subject line and be sure to include your address. The giveaway ends on Sunday July 24 at 11:59 pm.Source URL: http://celebrityjetset.blogspot.com/search/label/hair

Review: Pureology Perfect4Platinum

We've all heard that we're not supposed to color our hair more than two shades in either direction, but where's the fun in that? If you can't resist the urge to go lighter—four shade or more—the Pureology Perfect4Platinum is for you. The line, including shampoo, conditioner, a masque and a heat protecting spray, are formulated with keravis, a vegetable protein that replenishes hair keratin, chamomile extract, lemon extract and coriander oil to make hair soft and shiny and an anti-fade complex with UVA/UVB sunscreens.

The products are beneficial for anyone who colors their hair or has damaged hair. I tried the Pureology Perfect4Platinum Miracle Filler, the heat protecting spray, on my recent trip to Puerto Rico, spraying it on my dry hair, before heading out to the beach. It definitely helped preserve my red locks from fading.

Pureology Perfect4Platinum is available at salons where Pureology is sold.Source URL: http://celebrityjetset.blogspot.com/search/label/hair

Endless Summer with Fekkai

It was somewhere in the middle of last week that I went to sleep on a gray rainy night and woke up the next day to find it was full-fledged summer! When the seasons change so quickly, it can be hard to figure out what to wear and how to style your hair. You suddenly have to remember all those styling tricks from last August.  




Here are three cute hairstyles I'll be trying this summer from Fekkai--inspired by the 50s, 60s and 70s.Saks.com asked a couple of bloggers to model the looks created by Farbice Gili, Creative Director of Frederic Fekkai. I was so excited to join Kaitlyn from BeautyBlitz and Amber from BeautyBloggingJunkie on the shoot. I was the model for the 1970s—the photo at the top was our inspiration! I love that the hairstyle is so easy to create and done without being fussy. Check out the Sak's POV blog for instructions on how to create the look and the styles from the 50s and 60s.



My favorite trick I learned from Gili is to mist on Fekkai Beach Waves, a salt spray, like a hair spray. Meaning apply it from far away all over the hair so it creates soft beach waves—you don't need to scrunch it in, which is what I always used to do.

Check out this video for a behind-the-scenes look at our shoot:

Review and Giveaway: Wella Professional Care and Styling

Wella Professional's new line of care and styling products make choosing the best products for your hair simple and easy. I had the chance to spend an afternoon with James Cornwell, Celebrity Stylist and Fashion Director at PR at Partners in D.C. who took my hair from flat to fab with Wella's new products and color treatment.



Wella Professional Care
The shampoos and conditioners come in four categories: Brilliance, designed for color treated hair; Enrich, designed for dry and damaged hair; Balance for scalp care, and Age Restore for mature hair. (Note: Age Restore is perfect for those with long locks. The ends of your hair are much older than the roots!)  I used the Brilliance shampoo and the Enrich conditioning mask. First, the shampoo has the best scent bar none of any shampoo I've tested in years. It left my bathroom, heck the whole upstairs of the house smelling divine. More importantly, my hair was shiny and clean and not stripped or dry afterwards. The Enrich hair mask is thick and creamy. On sunny days, I leave this in my ends and twist my hair in a bun for a super conditioning treatment. The Wella hair care products are available in salons and are super reasonably priced for salon-quality (under $20 for a large bottle).



Wella Professional Styling
Since I'm concerned about damage from hair dryers and flat irons, I asked to try a protection spray. The Thermal Heat Protection Spray is the first thing I put on my hair after the shower. Not only does it make for an easy comb out, it protects my hair from heat styling. With summer fast approaching I also wanted to address frizz, so I'm using the Mirror Polish, which is a shine spray that holds down my crazy frizz too. Both are a good fit for summer, and make summer styling a cinch. James recommends the Thermal Heat Protection Spray first, then a rough dry, followed by the Mirror Polish and a round brush finish.

James used the revamped Koleston Perfect permanent color and the ammonia-free Demi-Permanent for my low lights. Both have worn well over the last month and I've only recently started to see the Demi color fade. I was especially impressed with shine and richness in my color. For those redheads out there: Koleston's reds last 15% longer than before.

We have a week's worth of Wella shampoos and conditioners to giveaway. If you'd like to try Wella, leave us a comment below and send your address to jsggiveaway@gmail.com. We'll pick two winners this week.

Review: LiQWd The Perfect Wave cream

At the beach or during the summer (or both), there's nothing I love more than washing my hair, rubbing in a bit of product and going. This summer, my product of choice is LiQWd The Perfect Wave cream. I love that it helps amp up my curls, like a curl cream, and adds texture like a salt spray, but without making my hair crackly and crunchy. I simply run a quarter-size dollop through my wet hair, twist into curls and let air dry.

Frizz-Free Hair—Even in Miami

Usually before I head on a weekend away, I schedule a blowout the day before (usually on Thursday) so I don't have to wash my hair all weekend. But I was able to skip it this time around because I had already gotten a killer blowout—on Monday—and my hair still held its style and was frizz-free, even in Miami. That's frizz-free after four days, a 3-hour plane flight, a day at the pool and a boat ride. That's me on the left, above, on Friday night. How impressive it that?

I credit it to the products that were used when I got my blowout, the new TRESemmé Climate Protection Shampoo, Conditioner and Mousse. The products are formulated with olive oil, keratin, UV blockers and polymers to protect hair against humidity, UV rays, static and wind—basically everything I experienced on day four of my blowout. I realize I sound like a commercial for TRESemmé, but these products really are that good!

You'll find Tresemmé products at drug stores and grocery stores nationwide.

How to Avoid Static Hair

Summer's pesky humidity which turns our hair to frizz gives way to an equally annoying problem in the winter: static hair. The dry air and cold temps are yet another challenge, especially if you're headed to Sundance or on a ski trip. Here are the best ways we've found to combat those flyaways:

1. Moisture is a natural static killer. Keep your hair well moisturized with a deep conditioner a couple of times each week. We use Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask (available at Sephora for $38) for soft, shiny hair. Also, don't wash your hair as often. Not only does washing dry your hair out, so does using the hair dryer.

2. Use a good leave-in conditioner. We like the Aveeno's products because they're easy to find, easy on the wallet, have spray-on application, and leave our hair silky.

3. Use a styling product like Morrocanoil (at salons and on line) which imparts shine and protects your hair from the dryer. That extra layer of product repels those pesky protons which make your hair stand on end.

4. Use a natural bristle brush which distributes the oils in your hair from root to end better than a synthetic brush. Like Morrocanoil, your own oils protect your hair.

5. The old-school method of getting rid of static by spraying your brush with hairspray doesn't work if there's alcohol in the hairspray. It'll only dry your hair out further and attract more static.Source URL: http://celebrityjetset.blogspot.com/search/label/hair

Hair Day Forecast

One of the trickiest things about traveling is figuring out how to do your hair in a new and different city. Is it going to be hot and humid? Cold and windy? And how do we do our hair in either situation? The new Brilliant Color and Beauty Today Hair Day Forecast takes some of the guess work out of it for us. You simply select your hairtype (straight, wavy, curly) plug in the zip code and you get a personalized tip to help your hair look its best, no matter what the elements. Why didn't we think of this sooner?

Suave Girls Getaway

For my friend Felissa's bachelorette party in Philly, I was lucky enough to host a Suave party for all the girls. Suave sent over hairstylist Andre Richard from the Andre Richard Salon to do our hair before our big night on the town.




That's Andre blowdrying the bride's, Fellisa, hair.



That's the bride below with her hair setting in pin curls with room service.




The Volumizing Hair Spray was everyone's favorite product. Even the hairstylists took a can!

End of Summer Beauty Tips

After a long weekend in Montauk, followed by five nights in St. Lucia, our skin and hair have about had it! It's time to seriously hydrate every inch of our bod. Here are a few of our fave beauty products we're spritizing and slathering all over:

Clinique's Moisture Surge has long been a favorite, so it's no surprise that the new Clinique Moisture Surge Spray is top on our end of summer beauty tips list. The aloe and water based spray is labeled as "thirsty skin relief". You can spritz it on anytime-before applying moisturizer, after a long plane ride or on top of makeup, like we did just now. Ahhh....



For our sun-dried skin, we're slathering on Votre Vu's On Holiday Moisturizing Body Spray after every shower. Not only does it contain grape seed, sweet almond, apricot and jojoba oil, when we close our eyes, we can still hear the waves crashing in the background.




Last but not least, we usually run from deep conditioners like the Wicked Witch of the West runs from water, but after days of using the Caribbean Sea as our only hair product, even we had to admit it was time to call in reinforcements. We reached for our bottle of Kim Vo Brilliant Luster Glaze
and our locks are as good as new. Our hair color is another story--we should have used the UV protecting product before we hit the beach. Good thing our colorist is on speed dial!



With a little help, we're going to make this the year we stop aging yet!

Ojon Leave-in Glossing Cream

We're big fans of Ojon's natural hair care products, especially their dry shampoo.  Our latest discovery is the Ojon Leave-in Glossing Cream which can be used on damp hair as a styling cream to add shine and control, or on dry hair as a finishing cream to add texture.  We loved the scent (somewhere between nutty and vanilla); the way it control our static and flyaways; and the smoothness and shine on our ends.

You can find Ojon's Glossing Cream at Sephora, Ulta, QVC and www.ojon.com/. $30 for 4.25 oz.Source URL: http://celebrityjetset.blogspot.com/search/label/hair

Sun Care for Your Hair

We're always preaching to you about the importance of slathering on your sunscreen; but we rarely mention your hair.  While your scalp is at risk for the same skin damage as the rest of your body, your hair is different: it can dry out, lose its color, and bleach out.

Aveda stylist, Maria Heille, recommends Aveda's Sun Care line.  Before you spend the day outside, spritz on the Protective Hair Veil for hours of protection against the sun,  use the Hair and Body Cleanser to remove chlorine from the pool or salt from the sea, and try an After-Sun Hair Masque to restore the moisture to your hair after a day in the sun.

Don't forget to pack a hat on your way to the beach too!  It's a full proof way to block the harmful effects of the sun.Source URL: http://celebrityjetset.blogspot.com/search/label/hair

Men and Short Hair: What Do They Really Think?

We've always heard that men prefer longer hair.  We've had our hair long for most of our lives, only once or twice cutting it short.  We'd like to think that we're not wearing our hair long just for the men in our lives; but because it flatters us.  Daily Makeover's Sarah Mansour took a closer look and reported back to us.  Read more here.
