Gwen Stefani Hair Photos.

Check out the rocker's trendy hairstyles, from edgy haircuts to glam updos.

We can't get enough of Gwen, whether we're singing along to her tracks or coveting her creative looks. She bounces from punk rocker to glamour chick with an ease we try to emulate, but nobody does it quite like she can. Check out her many different (very blonde) hairstyles, all of which look amazing. ...More

End Helmet Hair with Aussie Haircare.

The cute Kangaroo brand from down under, Aussie, has just launched an amazing new line of hair care products designed to end helmet hair. I am sure you all know what helmet hair is - that hair style that is all finished and sprayed to death. The hair that is too stiff that it doesn't budge in a brisk wind. The hair you cannot get your brush through let alone (his) fingers.

The Opposites Attract collection of products can not only be picked up at the drugstore, all of the pieces in this line are just $2.99. And this line is truly salon quality. Accented with natural Australian botanicals like Wild Cherry and Mango extract, hair is left totally touchable, soft and pretty smooth. The difference is that the hair is held in place too. And it smells yummy to boot!

Look at the complete line up of products in the Opposite Attract Protect & Soften line.

Shampoo
Conditioner
Spray Gel
Styling Mousse
Hairspray

I have totally ditched my high priced salon mousse for this one already.  I love this styling mousse as I can just blow out a few pieces in the front of my head and let the rest air dry. My waves come out to play without being all hard, crunchy and still wet looking.

Aussie is offering an amazing contest to coincide with the launch of their new line. You must check it out as you could possibly win a makeover and a trip to New York City. 

Straight off the Runway with AVON.

Who would have thought that AVON would be use to create such fabulousness for a runway show?

Avon Global Stylist Advisors Allen Ruiz, Anthony Barrow and Chie Sugwara were inspired by the romance of the Cynthia Rowley Collection.  Ruiz and Barrow wanted to keep the girls looking beautiful with very soft romantic hair.

 

The look is matte in texture for movement on the runway, and shiny to keep with the romance of the collection. The team used Avon Advanced Techniques Volumizing Mousse on damp hair focusing on the roots to create a volume foundation and gave the models' hair shine throughout. Hair was blow dried using the Advance Techniques Two-Sided Oval Brush. To add texture and volume to the hair the Advance Techniques Extra Hold Hair Spray was used while blow drying and back-combing the hair with the Advanced Techniques Flair Styler Brush. Finally, they applied a mist of Advance Techniques Mirror Shine Spray to create a "halo" effect at the crown adding to the contrasting of textures of smooth crown and texturized full body.

The makeup is available in AVON's Fall 2008 lineup, created by Charlotte Tilbury for Avon. This was inspired by a fresh, modern storybook Victorian fairytale girl who looks like she has just come in from the cold.  The skin is pale and luminous with flushed rosy cheeks using Avon Be Blushed Cheek Color in Pink Melon and Crushed Berry, also used on lips to create a natural “just ate berries” stain.  Eyes are natural, yet fresh with Glazewear Liquid Lip Color in Clear on the eyelids to catch the light and give a subtle sheen.  A light touch of SuperSHOCK Mascara in Black adds subtle definition to the lashes.
