Summer Lovin'

At Salon K we spend most of our time talking about, well, hair. Here are our latest product raves:

Boho Braid

Boho braids are huge for summer. In the picture above Blake Lively shows us how to do it right. She sported this fun, textured braid on the red carpet for the premiere of Green Lantern. To create this look:

1} On wet hair apply Grooming Creme on the ends of your hair.

2} Follow by spraying Surf Spray all over hair.

3} Dry hair with a diffuser to get beach-wave texture.

4} Pin hair to the side. Fishtail braid part (or you could do all) of your hair and secure with a hair band.

5} Finish by spraying hair all over with Spray De Mode.

Happy Spring!

We are back from a nice little spring break vacation! Speaking of Spring here our a few of our favorite products to help combat the unpredictable weather!
defrizz: conquers showers' reign with frizz control that leaves hair soft, silky and flyaway-free
grooming creme: tames (and takes manes from lion to lamb) with natural separation and satin finish.
spray de mode: flexible hold with heat protection and shine (for unexpected gusts)

One Icon, 3 Ways

ONE ICONIC PRODUCT, 3 WAYS
Style with Bb. Texture Creme, then polish off with your potion of choice to achieve three very different looks, each imperfectly perfect in its own way.

1] For ruffled, tousled hair that's soft to the touch, apply Grooming Creme to ends.
2] Finish with Styling Wax for flexible detailing and a little bit of shine (it goes a long way).
3] Give legs to lift, volume, grip and grit with Spray de Mode (all over for flexible hold).

Fashion Week hair how-to: sleek ponytail

Bb. Styling Neil Moodie decided to keep the hair sleek and chic at the Max Azria Fashion Show. A perfect style for second-day hair or bad hair days. 1] Spray wet hair all over with prep and then styling lotion. (If you're doing this style on second-day hair skip this step) Blow dry with a round brush.
2] Spray hair all over with spray de mode.
3] Use the classic flat brush to smooth hair back and up into a ponytail at the crown of your head. Secure with a bungee or hair-tie. (look up when you're securing the ponytail to avoid sagging underneath)
4] Wrap a piece of hair around the hair tie. Secure with pins.
5] Spray with more spray de mode. Finish with Bb. shine.

Fashion Week hair how-to: modern pompadour

This runway look came from Herve Leger's runway. Hair was done by Bumble and bumble stylist Neil Moodie, he wanted the hair to have a sporty feel. He was actually inspired by a woman getting out of the swimming pool and slicking her hair back! We always love hearing where people pull their inspiration from!

1] On wet hair spray Prep and then Styling Lotion all over wet hair.

2] Blow-dry hair using a round brush.

3] Flat-iron the hair, but be careful to not iron it stick straight, leave a curve in the ends of the hair.

4] Take the sides of the hair and brush completely back, leave the front section of your hair free. Apply Bb. Gel on the sides of the hair as well as under the roots of the front panel of hair.

5] Flip the front section of hair forward and backcomb the roots. Flip hair back over the top (where you just applied the gel), secure with pins underneath hair.

6] Finish with Spray de Mode.

Fashion Week hair how-to: messy bun

This hair style is straight from the runway of Behnaz Sarafpour. The hair was done by Bumble and bumble stylist Laurent Philippon. They went for a subtle 60s inspiration that was textured but very romantic. Very big for spring!1] Start by spraying hair all over with Prep then Surf Spray.
2] Blow dry hair using your hands to give hair more texture.
3] Spray hair with Spray de Mode (and more surf spray if needed)
4] Quickly twist up the back for an unfussy, spontaneous style and secure with pins.
4] Pull hair up at the crown for a little bit of volume. Pull some pieces out around your face. Finish with Spray de Mode.

hair how-to: twisty bun

I tried this look yesterday, it was super easy yet looked classy and pulled together.
1] It's better to start with 2nd day hair (aka dirty hair), skip to step #2 if this is you. If not start by spraying prep all over your hair followed by thickening hairspray. Blow dry.

2] Spray spray de mode all over hair for hold. Take the top left section of your hair and leave out, pull the rest of your hair back into a ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure.

3] Back comb your ponytail for texture. Twist into a bun and secure with hair pins.

4] Take the section you left out and cross it over to the right side and wrap around the bun. Secure with hair pins.

5] Pull small pieces of hair out around your face. Finish with spray de mode.
