Emmy Hair!


The Emmys were amazing last night! With sytle galor, and celebrities donning the red carpet in their best outfits, it was a night of style all around. One of the big winners of the evening was January Jones, star of the hit series, "Mad Men". Jones waltzed the red carpet in a beautiful flowing blue dress, and long flowing locks.

Mark Townsend was January's stylist, and created an edgy, fashion-forward look for January Jones. “A textured, asymmetrical bob was the perfect way to incorporate January’s love of editorial fashion and runway style into a feminine, yet tough look,” said stylist Mark Townsend.



Want this look? Try this style recommended from Dove:

1) The night before, use Dove Intensive Repair Damage Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner to strengthen hair and prevent damage.

2) Second day texture was key to achieve this runway-meets-Hollywood look, so I pre-styled her hair the night before. Distribute Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse throughout and blow dry hair with round brush to add lift

3) Set top sections of hair with large, 3 inch Velcro rollers for 15-20 minutes. While rollers set, add extensions in the front only to make hair longer in the front and shorter in the back.

4) Spritz throughout with Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist to protect against styling damage.

5) Wrap 1 ½ to 2 inch sections of hair around a 1 inch curling iron to create a big, loose wave instead of a tight curl.

6) The next day, reapply mousse to add lift to hair, and blow dry gently with a round brush to freshen up ends but not set perfectly.

7) Rake a small amount of Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream through hair to add smoothness.

Lady Gaga is the Queen!

Contrary to her subsequent outré style, the New York Post described Lady Gaga's early look as like "a refugee from Jersey Shore" with "big black hair, heavy eye makeup and tight, revealing clothes. Gaga is a natural brunette, however she bleached her hair blonde, because she was often mistaken for Amy Winehouse. She often refers to her fans as her 'little monsters' and got a tattoo with that inscription as a tribute. She has another six known tattoos, among them a peace symbol, which was inspired by John Lennon whom she stated was her hero, and a curling German script on her left arm which quotes the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, her favorite philosopher, commenting that his "philosophy of solitude" spoke to her.Toward the end of 2008, comparisons were made between the fashions of Lady Gaga and recording artist Christina Aguilera, noting similarities in their styling, hair, and make-up. Now, as the newly crowned "Queen of Twitter", fans can't get enough of the quirky posts and pictures from the life of this pop sensation.

Lady Gaga has burst onto the scene as an inspiration for the music industry, and as a humanitarian. Lady Gaga has spoken at civil rights speeches, and was a campaign advocate for Barack Obama. So what makes Lady Gaga such a star? Well it all starts with the "Haus of Gaga", the group of people who follow her around and help her create the style that makes her unique. The Haus of Gaga produces and creates the "Gaga" look, through the use of runway styles and intricate hair and makeup. It's the Haus the makes her stage show so popular with the fans.
Lady Gaga had a rough beginning but with her first album selling millions, there is no stopping her now. Her hair is one of a kind too, just like her personality. She has recreated style from different era's, such as the short bob and the long and wavy look popular during the "pin-up" era.

Gaga is most known for her outlandish styles, such as a bow made of her own hair, a beehive taller than anyone has done before, and even a hat made entirely from her own hair. It's this creativity that makes Gaga who she is today, and why she keeps on growing. With each new song, she recreates herself, and makes a new image unlike any other.
