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

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.

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.

Lipstick powder n paint.com : New Year’s Eve Belles

New Year’s Eve is a time to let down your hair, so to celebrate 2009 in style we’re going with big, bold curls and sexy waves. We got the low down on how to achieve luscious locks from John Frieda’s Canadian Creative Consultants Howard Barr and Alain Larivée. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be the belle of the ball.
Wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that add weightless volume. Spritz the roots with a volumizing, blow dry spray. Flip your head over and blast your roots with a blow dryer until dry.
Set your hair in one-inch sections, in Velcro or hot rollers. This will lift the hair from the root and add the volume you’re looking for. Let hair sit in rollers for 10 minutes or until it has cooled. Gently unwind your hair from around the roller and comb through hair with a wide toothed comb.
Wrap the one-inch sections of hair around a curling iron, making sure they’re not too tight. Repeat this process with all of your hair. Gently run your fingers or a wide toothed comb through your hair.
This will give the style a more natural look. Finish off this head turning do with a generous mist of light hold hairspray. This will set your style so that it moves with you all night long.
Adding a pretty hair band or an ornate hair piece to the finished look, guarantees glam.

Elle Quebec.com : Les tendances coiffure de l'automne 2010

Tous les trucs pour recréer les tendances coiffure qui nous ont séduites pendant les défilés.

Par Karina Goma

1. Les boucles à la folie Les spirales sont de nouveau tendance. Tantôt déliées, tantôt exubérantes ou vaporeuses, les boucles respectent toutefois une constante: elles ne sont jamais parfaites. Une fois les spirales formées, on prend donc soin de les défaire avec les doigts.

2. Le coiffé décoiffé

Vive la spontanéité des chevelures savamment décoiffées! Quelques pinces piquées ici et là, un élastique enroulé à la va-vite, et nous voilà prête à faire tourner les têtes! Surtout, on s'assure que nos cheveux conservent leur souplesse et leur brillance naturelles: on donne congé aux formules sculptantes.

3. La queue de cheval plastifiée
La queue de cheval qui ne laisse aucun cheveu dépasser est l'ultime symbole du raffinement. Alain Larivée, consultant en création pour John Frieda, suggère de finir en enroulant une mèche autour de l'élastique afin de camoufler celui-ci.

4. Les cheveux de paille
Pour la chevelure, on mise sur la texture. À l'affiche: des tignasses parfois crêpées, souvent gonflées, mais toujours d'aspect desséché. L'astuce d'Alain Larivée: après avoir donné du volume aux cheveux au moyen de rouleaux chauffants ou d'un fer à friser, on penche la tête vers l'avant et on vaporise du fixatif sur la chevelure.

5. Le chignon haut perché

On le hisse bien haut sur la tête. Pour que le chignon reste en place et que n'apparaissent pas de frisottis, Alain Larivée conseille de lisser d'abord les cheveux et de vaporiser ensuite un nuage de fixatif à tenue ferme.
