Volume and Texture and Hold…Oh My!!!

17 Feb

We all want to be able to wake up in the morning with fabulous bed head hair. Well, TEXTURE CREME from Bumble&bumble can get you that messy sexy look! This one of a kind product gives you an undone-yet-done do in just minutes! Texture Creme is great for all hair types. This product will give those with straight hair a kick of volume and a sexy beachy look! For curly hair, Texture will amp up the volume and enforce waves to give a messy, slept-in, rocker chick vibe that you’ve always wished your hair could be!

Just work a small amount  through damp hair, let it sit for a minute, then loosen and tousle it with your hands. Apply the Texture at the  root for extra lift. Let it dry naturally or use a diffuser for extra volume. Follow these simple instructions and you can have sexy bed head hair too!!

FABULOUS FISHTAIL!

10 Feb

Ok so we all know how popular braids have been in the past few years. Why not try to spice up your braid with the sexy fishtail!

To achieve Kim Kardashian’s look follow these step by step directions.

   Step 1. Start by gathering your hair to one  side. Separate the hair into two sections.

  Step 2. Hold both sections in one hand. Use    your other hand to grab a small piece from the outside of one section.

  Step 3. Pull the small piece over to the      other section, and then take a piece from the outside of that section and braid the opposite way. Imagine that you’re doing a typical braid, except the moving pieces are tiny.

Step 4. Keep going until you’ve just about reached the end and finish it with a clear elastic. It’s even better if it’s messy, so pull out some strands and stretch out the braid for an intentionally undone look.

Post a picture on Facebook of your favorite celebrity braid and tag deStefino Southside. We will post a video tutorial of the #1 requested braid on a future blog post!

3) Dramatic Eyeliner
The look: Eyes defined with black liner in a bold, statement making way!
How to: Use a pencil to create the shape you want. Then go over it again with more pencil or liquid liner for a more dramatic look. Always wear eyeliner with at least one coat of black mascara. Pair with red lips for a night out.
The tools: Black Orchid by AVEDA

4) Red Lips
The look: Standout shades of crimson – matte, shiny, bright, or dark!
Skin tones: Fair skin should wear blue tones colors while darker skin tones should wear orange or deep red colors. Medium skin tones can wear anything! True red flatters everyone!

6) Jewel-Toned Nails
