Teen Corner: How to Get the Silkiest Hair EVER

This is my third Teen Corner entry in two days. Wow, I am so impressed with myself!

With a crazy-busy life: dad’s away fishing, mom’s a psycho (she harasses me daily to update this site!), Bailey has been scheming ways to convince our parents to buy her a dog and Janey’s been googling “how to kiss” (I’m not even kidding. What seven-year-old needs to know how to kiss?!). Keeping up with my family is harder than keeping up with those Kardashians!

With all the craziness surrounding me, the one thing I can count on every day is my hair. I have been using Bumble + bumble Creme de Coco Masque and it’s UHHHmazing! My hair is soft, silky and sleek:

Here’s how I use it:
After washing hair, squeeze out remaining water, apply a generous amount throughout hair and leave on for at least seven minutes, or in my case until the hot water runs out! Recommended usage is once a week, but I use it waaay more than that. I can’t help it– I’m addicted to the way it makes my hair feel. And it smells good, too!
Talk to you soon my loves,
Bree

Picasso-Inspired Hair and Makeup at Ruffian

“It’s kind of Jean Shrimpton meets Picasso,” says MAC key artist James Kaliardos of the look he created for the Ruffian spring 2010 runway show.

The accent on the eyes was a gray liquid liner that Kaliardos mixed up “art-school style” and painted on in a sweep from the inner corner up over the eyelid crease.

“We’re inspired by painters and the feeling of being an artsy girl,” says Kaliardos. “She’s beautiful, still, yet not too precise. It’s a strong look.”

Kaliardos completed the face with a “Liza lash,” cream blush under the cheekbones and a peachy lip.

Bumble + bumble celebrity hairstylist Neil Moodie created a loose chignon with lots of texture for the Ruffian show. “We used our fingers–no brushes–to make it natural,” says Moodie. “It’s very home-made, as if she created this look herself.”

To get this look:

  • Prep hair by blow drying with lots of Bumble + bumble Styling Creme
  • for texture.

  • Section dry hair into two and twist the top portion into a loose chignon just below the crown.
  • Grab the lower section and connect into the chignon, leaving it loose at the nape.

The Ruffian look was finished off with raspberry nails to match the carpet. No joke—the inspiration for the nails began from the floor up!

Creative Nail Design used Plumville and Blackjack nail shades to create a Picasso-inspired nail that was both theatrical and artistic.

Deconstructed Chignon at Georges Chakra

The look backstage at the Georges Chakra Spring 2010 runway show was bronze-y beautiful with a carefree, deconstructed chignon to complement the clean necklines of the collection.

MAC Cosmetics key artist Gregory Arlt created a chocolate-hued cat eye with bronze cheeks and sun-kissed skin. Lips were stained with MAC Love Nectar, a peachy-pink shade that complements all skin tones.

To create the deconstructed chignon, Bumble + bumble key artist Amy Farid first used Bumble + bumble Spray de Mode before crimping and teasing hair to add texture. She then twisted the hair into an off-center chignon and fastened with bobby pins.

Nails were painted a light, creamy lavender called Social Climbing by Dashing Diva.

Transformers hottie Megan Fox looked gorgeous and glowy at the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Premiere today in the United Kingdom.

For shiny, healthy hair like Megan’s try Bumble and bumble Creme de Coco Masque, an indulgent masque with a trio of tropical butters which bestows intensive moisture, softness, silkiness and gloss. Also, don’t even get me started on the smell: coconutty goodness TO DIE FOR!

How to Use:

Once a week, after shampooing, smooth a generous amount into hair and relax for 7 minutes or more. For especially thirsty hair, wrap in a warm towel or leave it in overnight. Rinse thoroughly.

If your hair is super-fine Creme de Coco Masque may be too rich for you but it’s suitable for all other hair types.
