What would maryln do? : She’s Got Curves

Old Hollywood siren Veronica Lake was known for many things — her smouldering screen presence, pin-up model career and rebellious reputation — but one trait that continues to live on is her trademark peek-a-boo hairstyle. This sophisticated and flirtatious look of cascading waves and a deep side part has experienced a resurgence with actresses Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox and Blake Lively all wearing the style on the red carpet recently. If you want to bring out your inner femme fatale for your next night out, then use the following tips from Alain Larivee, John Frieda Creative Consultant.

Veronica Lake's Iconic Look

1. Prep wet hair with John Frieda Luxurious Volume Always Stylish Gel-Creme for maximum coverage, ideal style-ability and major volume.
2. Brush hair to remove any tangles and then wrap hair around magnetic rollers taking care to place them in the direction you want your hair to ultimately fall.  Allow hair to dry thoroughly.
3. Once your hair is dry unwind it from around rollers and carefully brush through.
4. Finish with John Frieda Frizz-Ease 100% Shine Glossing Mist to achieve a glistening finish and John Frieda Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hairspray to hold your finished look.

CTV.CA : Making pampering a priority

Sheri Block, entertainment writer, CTV.ca

Sept. 7 -- Pre-TIFF assignment: Making pampering a priority
With only two days before TIFF officially begins, I spent the morning working hard to get ready for the madness -- you know, by getting my nails done, my hair styled and my eyebrows threaded.
I realize that getting pampered doesn't sound like a priority when there's so much still to be done before TIFF starts, but looking good will help me better cover the festival (or at least that's what I told my editor).
I was invited to attend the first ever "Essentials Lounge For Media" created by Esther Garnick PR as a way to prepare journalists for all the long hours and late nights covering screenings, press conferences and red carpets.
"Everything in here is useful to that 10-day push. No one really has the time to get their hair treated or their nails done or their shoes looked after or anything else when they're in the thick of things," says Garnick.
"It's the trenches, it really is for the media. Everyone's got to wave hi, speak loudly, shake hands -- they've got to stand out, too, because they've got to get their sound bites and interviews and get their stories."
Held at downtown Toronto's Ra Sun Spa, my first "assignment" of the day was eyebrow threading. I've heard about this ancient method of hair removal and how effective it can be, but was always a little scared it would hurt. I've instead been opting for waxing, which is probably just as painful but over much quicker.
I told my esthetician Sharly I was apprehensive but her keen eye and expert thread yielding made it a (nearly) pain-free experience.
Next up was an express manicure with Tina, who did a rock star job painting my nails a deep purple. It was hard to completely relax though when all I could think about was how the work was piling up back at the office and my email inbox was overflowing. But with wet nails, I had to resist checking my Blackberrry. Maybe I should paint them more often (!)
Before leaving it was time to get a quick touch-up on my hair with Alain Larivée, the Canadian Creative Consultant for John Frieda. He showed my how to keep the humidity from ruining my ultra straight hair, which includes using the right products and only flat ironing small sections at a time.
But as much as I love my straight locks, Larivée says curls and waves are going to be ruling the red carpet this year when it comes to the celebrities. Half up, half down looks will also be popular, with an emphasis on glam.
And after I was looking and feeling fabulous, it was time to dash off to my next assignment – a sneak preview of the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Check back to CTV.ca on Thursday for a first look inside the spectacular new home of the film festival!

My sweet baby : Crowning Glory

http://www.sweetspot.ca/MySweetBaby/pregnancy_you_should_know/10986/crowning_glory/

Sure, as moms-to-be our skin may be glowing, but our hair? Lifeless, colourless, dry and just plain blah. It’s not all that bad, says Alain Larivée, Canadian creative consultant for John Frieda. Here’s what we need to know to keep our hair looking its best both during and after pregnancy.

How do pregnancy hormones affect our hair?
Every pregnant woman notices very obvious changes in her hair during and after her pregnancy. It's absolutely normal to see changes during these miracle-making times. I've seen curly hair go straight, fine hair thicken, hair colour change and hair lines grow halfway down some women’s necks during gestation. I've also often seen hair fall out dramatically after birth and after breastfeeding.

How can we keep our hair as healthy as possible?
First and foremost, take your vitamins, eat healthy, exercise, drink water and sleep. All these good habits will have positive impacts on your body, your baby and your hair. Quality health-infusing shampoos and conditioners are always recommended for healthier hair.

Can we color our hair while pregnant?
Avoiding on-scalp hair-colour services during the first trimester is a good idea; there are numerous off-scalp hair colouring techniques that can be performed to keep you looking good. Follow-up with weekly treatments to keep your hair looking healthy.

How do we get the most out of our hair during pregnancy?
The easiest way to deal with your hair during pregnancy is to let it grow and keep it healthy with a weekly conditioning treatment. Book a regular salon visit and have your stylist work in a stylish braid; it's a smart-looking and fashionable way to feel good and comfy in your skin. At home, tie it back in a ponytail or a bun; long hair will make you feel more feminine -- something you'll appreciate as your body changes and your belly grows.

What should we do post-pregnancy?
A simple and comforting habit is to massage your scalp for at least 20 minutes a day. This will stimulate circulation at the dermal level and promote healthy hair growth. This is also a good time to cut off some of that length; an easy, out-of-your-face hairstyle is simply more practical. There are some very effective post-pregnancy growth stimulating treatments available, but wait until you're done breastfeeding before starting these types of regiments. You don't want your baby ingesting these substances. All in all, be healthy, use good hair-care products and don't stress out over your hair during your pregnancy and after childbirth. In most cases, everything returns to normal.

Now if only those grey hairs from all the stress would just disappear...

Alain joined John Frieda’s renowned editorial team in 2007 as the Canadian Creative Consultant for the John Frieda Professional Haircare division of KAO Brands Company. Passionate and unique, Alain Larivee, owner of CAJH Maîtres Coiffeurs salon, is one of the most sought after hair stylists in Montréal. Alain’s down-to-earth approach coupled with his meticulous attention to detail has won him critical praise by top fashion magazines and newspaper writers and has afforded him a devoted following by high-profile Canadians, including Sarah Polley, Kristen Booth and Colin James.

Sweetspot - Ask an Expert: Catch the Wave

From celebrities to runways, we've seen them everywhere; perfectly constructed curls. Here to help us achieve the same look with minimal effort is John Frieda's Canadian Creative Consultant, Alain Larivee.

Rollers and Curling Irons are coming back in a big way. Can you give us instructions on how to use them properly?

Always make sure to have a tail comb handy when styling your hair with thermal tools. By now, everyone has bought a set of hot rollers or owns a curling iron. The first step to achieve perfect, healthy-looking curls is to start with clean, blow-dried hair.

Work with untangled and combed out sections of hair. Starting at the ends, wind hair around the iron barrel or roller and use a tail comb to roll in shorter hair bits and layers as you work your way to the roots. The neater the section - the nicer the curl. The amount of hair in your section and the size of the barrel or roller will also play a role in the amount of curl you will get. Small sections on big rollers will create stronger hold and bigger curls. Big sections on smaller rollers will create tighter curls at the end with looser waves at the roots and so on. To give a little more hold make sure to add volumizing styling products before blowdrying and spray a small mist of curl-enhancing spray on each section of hair before winding.

Alain joined John Frieda’s renowned editorial team in 2007 as the Canadian Creative Consultant for the John Frieda Professional Haircare division of KAO Brands Company. He is also the owner of CAJH Maîtres Coiffeurs salon, and is one of the most sought after hair stylists in Montréal.

Lou Lou Magazine : Nathalie’s first hair consultation

CAJH salon

As I mentioned a few days ago in Part One, Nathalie is über-freaked out about ending up with a terrible haircut, but aren’t we all?
Find out how the first consultation went!

We walked into CAJH and met hairstylist Alain Larivée. Our super-skeptical Nathalie sat down and gave me the look that says, “I hate my hair and no one can fix it!” (You know exactly what look I’m talking about.)

Alain took one look at her ‘do and asked her to describe what kind of person she is and what she does for a living because a haircut needs to suit your lifestyle. We loved this part. I suggest you talk about this sort of thing during your own hair consultation.

He suggested keeping her hair long because something told him this gal was likely to tie her hair up. No surprise there. Nathalie ties her hair up almost everyday and a short ‘do would surely leave her wallowing in her own misery.

Alain then suggested creating more layers around her face to really frame it and to keep her bangs on the side. Removing them would make her head look too long. It would also give movement from top to bottom to prevent the lamp shade effect her hair is currently suffering from (voluminous on the top, flat in the middle, and flipping out on the ends). 

In terms of colour, he suggested a dark brown shade with highlights, which require less maintenance than streaks. It’s like he read her personality, which is what your hairdresser should do before you let anyone whip out scissors to slice and dice your ‘do.

We are really happy with Alain’s suggestions. Next stop: LaCoupe. Check back next week to find out what they had to say about Nathalie’s hair and get ready to vote for the hairstyle you think she absolutely needs to have!

Sexy summer hair

Patio season is finally here! And with it, the requisite flirting. Make an impression with these four runway-inspired looks. Elle Canada spoke with the experts to show you how to get them:

By Catalina Margulis

Since you can’t let your hair down at every fiesta, look to Yves Saint Laurent’s polished example for sophisticated chic. “This look is a quick and easy way to transform your day hair into a striking evening ’do,” says Alain Larivee, John Frieda Canadian Creative Consultant and official hairstylist of this year’s Genie Awards.

To create this look, he recommends washing hair with Luxurious Volume Full Splendour Shampoo and Conditioner to create fullness and strengthen hair from the inside out, filling in damaged areas and plumping the hair for healthy volume. 

Then apply a generous amount of Luxurious Volume Bountiful Body Mousse, to increase hair’s diameter and lift at the roots for weightless, non-sticky all-day volume. After you’ve applied the mousse, with your head upside-down, use a flat or vent brush to blow-dry your hair from roots to ends. 

Once hair is dry, section off a square portion of hair in the bang area starting at the hair line and going back to the crown. You will come back to this piece later, so clip it out of the way for now. Brush the rest of the hair upwards and secure in a ponytail at the crown, then backcomb your ponytail.  To hide the elastic band you are using to hold your ponytail, wrap a strand of hair around the elastic and secure it using a bobby pin.

Now, grab the bang section you squared off earlier, backcomb the roots to create lift and then smooth it back and incorporate it into the ponytail section. Secure ends with bobby pins.  Hold everything in place with a finishing hairspray like Luxurious Volume All-Out Hold Hairspray, which also protects against summer humidity.

Lastly, secure a barrette or slide a comb in place to create a pin-backed ridge. Finish with a final spritz of hairspray and you’re ready to dazzle them all.

Servicevie.com : Une belle tête cet été malgré la chaleur et l’humidité!

Par Marie-Hélène Poirier , journaliste , Montréal, Canada

© Suzie Landreville

Alain Larivée, consultant en création au Canada pour John Frieda Hair Care.

Vous avez envie de changer de tête, mais craignez qu’une fois sortis de chez le coiffeur, vos cheveux soient difficiles à maîtriser en raison de la chaleur et de l’humidité? Alain Larivée vous livre ses conseils pour que vous puissiez entretenir votre chevelure et ainsi conserver un look tendance qui résistera aux longues journées d’été.

Alain Larivée, consultant en création au Canada pour John Frieda Hair Care et propriétaire du salon CAJH Maîtres Coiffeurs, cumule plus de 20 années d'expérience. Le styliste des célébrités le plus couru à Montréal, qui coiffe notamment Karine Vanasse, vous donne quelques trucs de pro afin de conserver une belle tête malgré une exposition accrue aux rayons UV, à la chaleur et à l'humidité. Il vous présente également les trois looks tendance de la saison.

Protéger vos cheveux du soleil et de la chaleur

Le soleil, la chaleur, le sable et le chlore sont souvent le lot quotidien que vous réservez à vos cheveux pendant la période estivale. Ces derniers sont agressés et peuvent devenir secs, abîmés et décolorés. Pour garder une chevelure en santé, Alain Larivée suggère d'en couper régulièrement les pointes. Il est également recommandé d'utiliser un shampoing et un revitalisant qui contiennent une protection contre les rayons UV.

Au même titre que votre peau, sur laquelle vous appliquez de la crème pour la prémunir contre le soleil, vos cheveux ont besoin de soins particuliers pendant l'été. Les shampoing et revitalisant Weather-Proofing et Weather Works, de la gamme de produits John Frieda Frizz-Ease, préservent votre chevelure des dommages liés à la chaleur. Ces produits scellent l'hydratation des cheveux, préviennent l'électricité statique et protègent des rayons UV.
Alain Larivée vous conseille aussi le Sérum capillaire protection thermique afin de recouvrir d'une couche protectrice et lustrée les frisottis provoqués par l'humidité. Le sérum adoucit les cheveux secs et prévient leur détérioration. La vitamine E qu'il renferme favorise une apparence saine, réduit la décoloration et constitue une barrière supplémentaire contre les rayons UV. La combinaison de ces trois produits de base maintiendra vos cheveux hydratés et en bonne santé malgré une exposition prolongée au soleil et à la chaleur estivale.

Les looks tendance de l'été

Cet été, la tendance capillaire est à la simplicité, au look coiffé-décoiffé. Alain Larivée soutient qu'en période d'incertitude économique, les gens sont portés à moins dépenser et à ressortir leurs vieux vêtements de la penderie. «On retrouve une vieille robe et on l'adapte au goût du jour. Il en va de même pour nos cheveux. On peut les coiffer simplement, sans investir une fortune», explique-t-il. Cela vous donnera un petit air rétro adapté à la mode hollywoodienne actuelle.
Le premier look primé de la saison est sans contredit le style boucles souples estivales à la Gisele Bündchen. Le second est la queue de cheval à la Cameron Diaz. Le dernier se traduit par des cheveux droits en mouvement avec un petit «swing» dans le bas à la Gwyneth Paltrow. Ces trois coiffures sont faciles à créer et donnent un style à la fois soigné et très naturel.

Divine.ca : Hot Hairstyles for Summer

By Mariève Inoue

Tired of wearing your hair the same way every day? We spoke to John Frieda Creative Consultant, Alain Larivée (and owner of CAJH Maîtres Coiffeurs in Montreal), to find out what the hair trends are for the upcoming season. Check out three über-hot styles for the summer!

Style #1: The Messy Bun

The look: A ballerina bun that is loosely tied at the back of the head, at about the occipital bone level. This works well with naturally wavy or curly hair, for a stylish ‘do that is sophisticated, not stiff!

How to get it: Start by using some mousse or styling cream on damp locks, before drying hair with a diffuser. Then, tie it at the middle of the back of the head with an elastic hair tie, and pin hair into a bun by sections, criss-crossing bobby pins for a better hold.

As seen on: Natalie Portman, at the 82^nd Academy Awards.

Style #2: The Naturally Straight Mane

The look: Hair that is straight, but not perfect. The idea is for things to look effortless—styled, but not over-styled. Note that this look calls for texture, but not too much—“which is what separates it from the “beachy” style that was so hot a few years back” says Larivée.

How to get it: Start with some smoothing shampoo and conditioner. Then, use a round brush to blow-dry hair straight by sections.

As seen on: Jennifer Aniston at The Bounty Hunter premiere in New York City.

 

Style #3: The Sophisticated Ponytail

The look: A high enough ponytail with a lot of volume at the roots, and a bit of movement at the ends. Not necessarily curly, but not stick straight, either—a little twirl does the trick!

How to get it: You can use hot rollers to get some volume in right at the roots, and then do some gentle teasing with a fine tooth comb. Tie your hair back high enough on the head, and use a round brush and heat or heating iron to give the ends some movement.

As seen on: Miley Cyrus at The Last Song premiere in Los Angeles.

Chatelaine.com : Summer beauty tips from the pros

Jen O'Brien

Your hair

Summer hair should look natural and sexy. Hair stylist to the stars Sally Hershberger and Canadian creative consultant for John Frieda, Alain Larivee, share their tips on how to achieve a flawless summer ‘do.

How to get gorgeous beachy waves
- Start by using a shampoo and conditioner for wavy hair, says Hershberger. They provide plenty of moisture but also support waves.
- Rake a water-based foam, like Sally Hersheberger’s Style Primer for Wavy Hair, through damp hair from the crown down to enhance and define natural waves.
- Then let hair air dry if you have the time and patience or blow dry with a diffuser.
- Call it done there or make it extra mussed and beachy with a moisturizing texture spray.
How to keep hair from getting frizzy in the humidity
- After washing your hair seal the hair cuticle with a frizz-prevention serum, says Larivee. Comb the product through just washed hair. The action of the comb moving from roots to end seals up cuticle and will ensure even distribution of product all over your hair.
- If your curls are the type that need a bit of help Larivee recommends John Frieda’s Spiral Style curl defining spray gel, which will help define and realign natural spirals and curls. Squeeze larger sections of hair together or sculpt hair and let dry naturally.
- A good thing to keep in mind is: the less you touch your hair, the less it will frizz.
- Chlorine (and hot summer sun) can be very damaging to the hair. To give your summer-damaged hair a much-needed pick-me-up try an overnight repair mask to transform and repair dry, damaged and frizzy hair.
Looking to get your hair out of your face? Try these stylish summery options:
- Low ponytails
- Headbands and scarves to accessorize
- Take long daytime hair and put it up in a loose messy French twist or chignon at night

Your skin and makeup

Summer skin needs to be well protected, while warm weather makeup should be both playful and functional. Celebrity makeup artists Chase Aston and Paul Venoit share their foolproof summer beauty tips.

- Although it’s not a rule of thumb, changing your moisturizer from an oil based formula (that adds extra hydration during the drier, colder winter months) to a water base formula in the summer, can help control excessive oil leaving the skin looking fresh and clean, says Venoit.
- If you’re heading to a pool party and still want to wear makeup choose a waterproof foundation layered over waterproof sunscreen. For your eyes, creamy, water resistant, smudge-proof and waterproof formulations of shadow, liner and mascara are best, explains Aston.
- For lips, a stain works well in hot weather. Try The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain in Rose Pink or one of CoverGirl’s Outlast lip stains. Layer lip balm with SPF overtop for sun protection.
- If you’ve got oily skin try applying a mattifying day cream before your sunscreen or foundation to avoid mid-day shine, says Aston. It will minimize your pores and keep shine at bay. Facial blotting tissues are also great for touchups.
- Keep all of your makeup application sheer and not too heavy. Eye colours should be smudged just along the lash line for a subtle hint of colour. Keep cheeks fresh and glowing with cheek stain. For your lips, avoid heavy glosses and solid matte hues and textures and opt for lip stains instead.
This summer’s hottest must-have colours
Eyes:
Bright blue and teal, sunny orange and buttery yellow

Lips:
Focus on bold lips with vibrant shades of rich pink and red
Nails:
Punchy coral, bright fuchsia and ruby red

Homemakers.com : Hot hairstyle trends for spring and summer 2009

Want to add instant style to your look? Explore the latest and greatest hair trends of the season before heading to a salon near you.

By Natalie Bahadur

Best trends for your hair colour: blondes, brunettes and redheads

What is it about the changing of the seasons that invites a physical transformation too? Ready for a new haircut or colour? Spring is the season of renewal and summer spells fun so these seasons mark perfect times to play with your style. Head to your hairdresser's chair for an instant update, but not before finding out which hairstyles are turning heads this season.

John Frieda's celebrity stylist Alain Larivee shares his professional perspectives on the hottest hairstyles and trends for spring and summer 2009.

Homemakers.com: What hair colour is hot now?
Alain Larivee: Spring 2009 is looking blonder than ever. You'll see rich, dimensional blondes: lighter highlights on top with darker blonde tones blended in the interior. Natural blondes can use shampoos that gradually and naturally lighten hair. If your blonde is colour-treated, try Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Restoring shampoo and conditioner to keep your colour from going brassy and to help keep your hair looking salon fresh.Brunettes don't need to go blonde to be hot for spring. A darker brown tone, tickled with very fine brighter highlights is a refreshing way for brunettes to prepare for warmer weather. Brown hair can appear matte and dull so keep hair looking shiny and healthy with Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine Illuminating shampoo and conditioner.

Homemakers.com: What about highlights?
AL: Highlights are in, but make sure that your stylist understands the difference between highlights and streaks. Fashionable looks are created with a multitude of fine light sections and not few thick light sections.

Homemakers.com: How can blondes, brunettes and redheads stay on trend this season?
AL: The best advice I can offer for all hair colours is using tone-appropriate hair care. Using the right shampoo and conditioner is a must. It's the best way to maintain shine and richness.

Blondes: Go blonder gradually!

Brunettes: Be brave and open to change -- add dimension to your colour with highlights and definitely add shine!

Redheads: Add lighter dimensional copper effects and treat yourself to a good weekly conditioning treatment.

Homemakers.com: Which celebrities are sporting the must-have look of the season?
AL: Karinne Vanasse, a French-Canadian actress, has a fabulous haircut: a modified layered bob with feminine carefree curls -- a great spring/summer cut. Also, Jennifer Aniston always has smart hair colour and is wearing braids and different hair textures. Rihanna's smart, short and versatile cut, as well as supermodel Gisele's fringe, come to mind.

Homemakers.com: What's more popular this season – long hair or short?
AL: This season, both long and short looks are in.

Long hair is individual: layered to complement individual bone structure. Versatility is a must, meaning length depends on the hair's ability to hold different looks during the day and night.

Hot and adaptable short haircuts worn straight and shiny with beautiful definition or soft and carefree are a look that is both bold and feminine.

Homemakers.com: How can you update a hairstyle, without doing anything too crazy?
AL: Strategically adding a few layers or modifying your hair colour for the new season are fun and easy ways to add a little change to your hair.

Homemakers.com: In your opinion, which celebrity has the hottest hair right now?
AL: The perfect example of good colour, smart versatile layers and style conscious sexiness is Gwyneth Paltrow's hairstyle.

Homemakers.com: Can you offer five tips for maintaining your hair this spring?
AL:
1. The number 1 trend is healthy hair. If your hair is dry, damaged or broken, it will always be a "don't."

2. You don't need to scream to be noticed. Simply have your stylist lighten up your look for the season.

3. Embrace your curls! Find the right products to sculpt your hair without crunch or frizz.

4. Change up your look! With the help of heat styling tools like curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers, you can transform your hair. However, always protect your hair when using heat styling. Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective Styling Spray works with heat tools to condition and straighten strands as it helps block humidity and rehydrate hair for ultra-safe styling

5. Trends are meant to influence, and not dictate! Avoid being a fashion victim and start your visit to the salon with a conversation about how to make your hair reflect who you are.
