Style Icons Part 1 - The Past

The most famous style icon, Coco Chanel said: ˝ Fashion passes, style remains ˝ and that well-known quote, inspiration me for this article. Over the past few decades we have seen a handful of fashion icons that have attracted attention with their clothing or distinctive characters.
These days we have fashion icons everywhere, and to me the most interesting are theones from the past and whose creations come to life today, especially these three fashion icons.

Edie Sedgwick

In 1960-ies Chuck Wein helped Edie Sedgwick to become famous it girl of the New York underground scene. After she met Andy Warhol at a party, he was fascinated by her appearance and they become good friends. Edie appeared in his film Vynil, and then Warhol offered her roles in films Poor Little Rich Girl, Kitchen, Beauty No.2 ... and Edie was called Factory Girl. After she met Warhol she cut her hair and her pretty face even more came to the fore. Edie loved big earrings, which reached her shoulder and that was her trademark. Each combination she would complement with fur jacket and with large sunglasses. She wore a thick line and big lashes on her eyes. Edie was the first unisex model type, and she was hired by Betsy Johnson. Everyone sad that Edie had only three love in her life, and that was Andy Warhol,
Bob Dylan and the drugs that killed her 1971, when the fashion icon was only 28 years.


Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was known for many things: an extremely talented actress, a great humanitarian and a true fashion icon whose impeccable style is a great inspiration for many designers. When he first appeared on the scene she was noticeably different from other girls in the world of fashion and acting, but her charm and beautiful, interesting face brought her to the top of Hollywood where she won the Oscar for the film Roman Holiday. Her unmistakable style is remembered by A cut dresses, tight black pants length 7 / 8 and timeless black ballet shoes that Audrey loved. In the first scenes of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey stands in front of Tiffany's window in a black dress with a series of pearl necklaces around her neck. It is precisely that black dress, designed by Audrey's friend Hubert de Givenchy, become a mandatory piece of clothes in the closets of women around the world. Besides fashion combinations Audrey had a great personality and broad smile that she always wore on her face. Audrey's make up was very simple and classic, just a line on the upper eyelid and a large lashes that Audrey always wore. Audrey devoted to humanitarian work after her great acting career,
and she left us in 1993 when she lost her battle with colon cancer.


Marilyn Monroe

Many people, when we mention Marilyn Monroe, remember the term sex bomb, her curves and red lips, but Marilyn was much more than that. She was born as Norma Jean Mortenson, and spent her childhood moving from one foster family to another and so constantly, until she married James Dougherty and broke a series of moving. A few years after she married him, Norma Jean was spotted by a fashion agent who offered her a job and shortly after that she changed her name to Marilyn Monroe and fashion icon was created. Marilyn was a really talented actress who is her film career made many movies that were extremely successful. For the film Some Like It Hot, Marilyn won a Golden Globe, and this film was named one of the best films ever made. In the fashion world she become famous for her tight dresses that emphasized her curves and white dress that was in the movie The Seven Year Itch. She is also famous for lips covered with red lipstick that were her trademark and classic pinup make up. Even though many people felt she was stereotyped blond, Marilyn wasn't that, which proves her diary which was found after her death in 1962 year, which was a consequence
of poisoning by tablets Marilyn took to cover the depression.

Everything Old Is New Again

Anne Hathaway photographed by Mario Testino for Vogue

I'm rather loving this photo of Anne Hathaway a la Holly Golightly in Vogue, and not so much for the jewelry.  I'm rather enamored of the updo.  It's a such a clean classic look and particularly flattering if you want to emphasize your clothes, your jewelry or your swan like neck....on second thought maybe this look needs to be reserved for those under 30.
Still, I would love to get all dressed up this weekend with big blingy brooch in my hair.

You don't think that the diamond hair ornament would be over the top for a Saturday night soiree, do you?

All About Straight Hair

If you have been blessed with fairly straight hair, then you are lucky and the envy of many women (myself included). Thick hair that is mostly straight, with maybe a slight wave is usually the easiest hair to style. Your natural wave loves to be curled and styled, and yet is easy to straighten and looks fabulous worn straight.

Women with tight curly hair, or fine, dead straight hair that has little body and refuses to hold curl (yes, that's me!) struggle to style our hair at times.

If your hair is not quite as straight as you want it, you have some easy options to temporarily straighten your hair: straightening products, hair dryer or straightening iron.

If your hair is really not straight and you want to get rid of your curl permanently (well, at least 6 months), you have the option of professionally straightening your hair.

HOW TO BLOW DRY HAIR STRAIGHT

Blowdrying your hair straight is definitely the cheaper option to permanently straightening your hair - all it takes is a few tools and products and a bit of practice.

What do I need?

- A hairdryer

- A large round brush. The size of the brush will depend on the length of your hair - your hair needs to be long enough to wrap around the brush once.

- A large paddle brush for final smoothing.

- Clips to keep hair out of the way. Large flat clips that hairdressers use work best.

- Styling products - products that protect your hair from moisture and hold the style. Moisture is what reverts the hair back to its natural wave, so products like mousse protect hair from moisture as well as heat damage.

- Gloss or serum to smooth over hair, remove frizz and finish off the look

• Start by washing your hair with a volumising range. Browse our Volumising range.


• Comb with a wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles. Partially blow-dry your hair to get rid of excess moisture.


• Spray a volumising tonic on your hair, or a handful of mousse spread from tips to ends for extra oomph.


• Pin hair up and take out small sections at a time to blow-dry. Hold the dryer in one hand and a styling brush in the other.


• Place the brush underneath the first section of hair and position it at the roots. Keep the tension on the hair (without tugging too hard) and move the brush down towards the ends, while directing the air flow down the hair, following the movement of the brush.


• Blow-dry using a large, round brush with a metal core. Wind hair completely up the brush, focusing on creating lift at the roots. Gently blast hair with a hair-dryer until dry.
  Browse our range of Hairdryers.


• Curl the brush under at the ends to achieve a slight bend. Continue until the back sections are completely dry and then repeat on the top sections of hai


• Finish with a light, flexible hairspray. Browse our range of HairSprays.


• Remember, practice makes perfect!

HOW TO USE A STRAIGHTENING IRON

What do I need?

- A temperature controlled straightening iron

- Styling products - products that protect your hair from moisture and hold the style. Moisture is what reverts the hair back to its natural wave, so products like mousse protect hair from moisture as well as heat damage.

Things to remember:

Also start with clean, DRY hair. If possible, use a leave-in conditioning spray after washing your hair, but before starting to straighten.
Hair must be completely dry, as slightly damp hair will respond badly to straightening. Also using a heated appliance on damp hair causes the hair to "cook" from the steaming, swelling the hair shaft and forcing the protective moisture from the cortex of the hair.

Use a flat iron appropriate for your hair length. Wider irons are suitable for very long hair, but most women are better off using an appliance with heating plates 1" to 1 ½ " wide. These smaller irons offer better control and are lighter in weight.

Section your hair into small, manageable sections. If you try and straighten a big chunk of hair at once, you will get an uneven result. The hair on the outside might straighten but hair in the middle won't have been straightened. Work on smaller sections and you will get a much straighter look.

Use a small amount of styling product to maintain the style. Using a spray of hairspray on the straightened sections, or a small amount of mousse or gel when drying your hair, will extend the life of your hair style. Your straightened hair will last longer.

Instructions

Take a small section of hair. Starting at the roots, work the flat iron through the length of your hair slowly, but keep the iron moving.

After each draw, comb your hair smooth.

Continue, piece by piece until all of your hair is straight.

PROFESSIONAL HAIR STRAIGHTENING

Permanent Straightening

What is it? It's a perm that improves the condition of the hair as it straightens it. There are a few names for it - Bio Ionic Professional Haircare System, Japanese Ionic Hair Straightening - yet they are all the same.

How does it work? First a treatment to prep your hair. Next, a setting solution. Then a rinse and light dry off before hours of flat-iron work. After this, you have straight hair. They rinse again and apply a solution so your hair remembers to stay straight. A quick dry off and iron and you're done. But no washing your hair for two days.

What hair types are (most) suitable? Those with thick, healthy, unbleached hair are the best candidates.

Which hair types are not suitable? Fine, weak or dry hair or hair that is overly processed/colored. However there are lotions that cater to variations in strength and thickness, meaning those with fine but strong hair can still get the treatment.

How long does it take? Usually about five hours. If the hair is very thick, curly or long it can take up to 10 or 11 hours.

How much does it cost? It can range anywhere from $150 to $1000 depending on the salon and the particular solutions being used (ie Bio Ionic is more expensive than Japanese solutions)

Some quick-fixes include using permanent straighteners and relaxers- most of which you can find in supermarkets and drug stores to apply in your own home.

A relaxer is best suited for people who have hair that is especially difficult to style. This usually applies to people of African or Caribbean descent who have coarse and frizzy hair. The relaxer is a strong chemical substance that is applied to dry hair and then left on the hair anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. The relaxer works chemically with the composition of your hair, weighing it down in certain areas and removing curls. Relaxers must be reapplied to new hair growth.
