Brazilian Blowouts are known for semi-permanently straightening the hair of women with naturally curly hair, and it was found out last year that the product contains the cancer causing agent formaldehyde.
But now, California’s attorney general is saying that all Brazilian Blowout products must have one of those surgeon general warnings like “may cause cancer.” Yeah, like cigarettes and alcohol!

1) The Hair: Peter Savic created a classic chignon bun for her hair, "We wanted to make her an amazing movie star from the '40s, '50s, '60s; like Sophia Loren or Ava Gardner or Elizabeth Taylor. While most brides visit their stylist several times before the wedding to get that wedding up-do just right, Savic said, "I just created it that day."
2) The Headpiece: Kim wore a diamond encrusted headpiece on her big day, which friends were saying, "She looked very Armenian, like an Armenian princess." Some may think a headpiece is a little too much, but Savic thought it was just right, "She looked very polished. It was classic and tasteful yet exotic."

Getting the perfect blowout is very difficult, especially if you have frizzy hair. Thankfully, celebrity hair stylist Luke O’Connor is giving us step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the perfect blowout.
Step 1: Products to use
The product I choose depends on the hair type.
Fine Hair: I’m going to want something that is going to add body to the hair and lift at the roots. There are a variety of products to give you this effect. To name a few: mousse, styling gel, root lift spray, volumizing sprays. A brand that has all of these is Suave Professionals. This is what I recommend to all of my clients.
Coarse Hair: This hair type would require something to soften, like a leave-in conditioner or blow-dry serum.
Curly Hair: There are several types of smoothing serums and creams. I like Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream for both coarse and curly.

So what is Moroccan Oil? It's a fruit that grows on the Argan tree, which is found only the South West of Morocco. Inside the fruit grows a large nut that houses up to three almond-shape kernels, which are the source of this miraculous oil. Women in Morocco have been using this oil for hundreds of years to treat their hair against the hot climate.
My favorite item from the entire line is the Moroccanoil Oil Treatment. It’s a unique serum that quickly absorbs into your hair to create shine and provide long-term conditioning.
The reason I love this oil aside from doing its job, is because it doesn’t leave your hair looking like it hasn’t been washed for days. It also smells amazing, which is always a plus when you have just ironed and blow-dried your hair.

Did you know that as you age, your hair ages as well? No worries though because now there is anti-aging hair treatment too.
As our skin ages it loses its firmness and apparently hair ages as well. Depressing, we know!
Brands like Redken and Finesse have developed products for anti-aging hair. According to Stylist, Finesse has a line called ReVitality, which uses anti-aging skincare ingredients like collagen, CoQ10 and antioxidants to plump, repair and protect the strands and scalp.
The product will be sold for $4-$5 dollars and will be marketed to women over 35.

We’ve been seeing bouffant buns make a very big splash on the red carpet this season. Vanessa Hudgens and Whitney Port have got the cute bun down.
The Bouffant bun looks good when it’s not so huge! Take example from Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker. Those two women sported extremely large buns and it just looks bad. The bun looks bigger than their heads, which is not so sexy.
Both tight buns or loose buns looks great, just don’t make it larger than your head.
