One of my clients, Karolyn Kukoski, sings and plays the autoharp in the band “Witch Gardens”. She also has a degree in Criminology. Karolyn’s hair is long, fine, wavy, and blond. I keep her hair’s
length long and I cut her bangs long and leave them full. She has blond hair naturally but likes it to be a few shades lighter. I lighten her hair to a very light blond- this enhances her skin tone and opens up her face even more.
Witch Gardens will be playing at the Capitol Hill Block Party this Saturday, on the Vera Stage, from 4:00-4:30. Come check them out!
Katy perry’s Music video for her song Last Friday Night shows her transformation from dental headgear to 80′s bombshell! The video is funny and entertaining with cameos and guest stars like Kenny G and Rebecca Black.
Getting this hair may be a definite challenge. You can go either one of two ways. You can either perm your hair to get those curls and leave the top front portion unpermed, or you can curl it yourself. I would recommend curling it yourself with a thin curling iron for a temporary style. To do this you would need to purchase a curling iron with the correct size barrel that you want your curls to be. Also, having a haircut with more layers in it is better for this style, or else you may end to much bulk at the ends of your hair.
Use Kevin.Murphy Anti.Gravity to blow dry the hair for as much volume as you can get. Then, once dry, spray the hair with Kevin.Murphy Damage.Manager to protect the hair from damage from the iron. Then in small sections, wrap the hair around the iron, alternating directions as you go. On the top where she has her big curl, take that section and with a large curling iron, curl the hair in one large curl making sure the hair is thoroughly heated. wrap it so it curls away from your face. Pin the curls and let them cool in place, thus prolonging their life. Once its curled and cooled, then you may want to back comb the base of the front curls and anywhere else on the head where you want more volume!

I recently came across a great Mashup while on Youtube. It combines Madonna’s Vogue and Ducksauce’s song Barbra Streisand. Her style in the video is reminds us of current trends that have people shaving or pinning their hair on the sides of their head to get that Mohawk look, or just accentuate top volume.

To get this style with short hair, use a small curling iron or rollers to set curls in the hair, using Kevin.Murphy Damage.Manager to prep the hair. Once the curls have cooled, remove any clips or rollers and use your fingers and a small bit of the Kevin.Murphy Easy.Rider to separate and define the curls. Use the Kevin.Murphy Powder.Puff to add any volume you need to the top. Then section out the sides of the hair and brush it back and up towards your crown and pin in place with bobby pins, being sure to hide them within the hair.

Dev of the Cataracs, most noted for her song Bass Down Low, recently came out with the song Top of the World. Known for her Electronic stylings and “sing-talk” vocals, Dev is making a name for herself in the music world.
She is a girl for flair and texture. Her haircut is super layered and is cut to be shorter on her right and longer on her left. To get her short, punky texture, spray Kevin.Murphy Heated.Defense on dry hair and flat iron with a 1/2″ wide iron. Then use Night.Rider to define the texture.
She also likes to create a pompadour in her hair at times (like at the top of the post and 2:25 in the video). This style can be surprisingly easy to create. When I do this style, I like to start with Kevin.Murphy Body.Builder mousse to create volume and then I blow dry the hair back on top, and down on the sides. Once dry I push the front of the hair forward to create the pomp and use Kevin.Murphy Session.Spray to hold the style, pinning any hair that need be pinned.
Check out the awesome video for Top of the World here! WARNING! It may be considered inappropriate by some people. Just sayin’.
Yet again, I am impressed by Adele. I love, love, LOVE her! Her new single, ‘Rolling in The Deep,’ has been on repeat in my head for weeks. The official video for the single is unique, artistic, and refreshing. I came across an alternate video with the studio footage and was in awe! From her voice, to the side bun she rocks, to her lashes, she has a great sense of personal style. Her hair throughout both videos are great inspiration for summer hair styles.
My favorite look of hers from these videos is her side bun with a twisted bang! For a good look at this, go to 2:06 and 2:45 on the video. To get this look you need to start with the right products. When your hair is damp work in Kevin.Murphy’s Anti.Gravity for root volume, and Hair.Resort for texture and hold. Then blow dry your hair upside down for maximum volume. Start with parting out your bangs; remember that the farther over the eye you go, the better.
Back comb/tease the rest of your hair at the roots, and then smooth the surface down with a brush so that you don’t see all the back combing you have done. The bun will be on the opposite side you parted your bangs. When you’re smoothing out your hair, smooth it towards the side the bun will be on. Loosely pull the hair into a low pony tail behind your ear, level with your jaw. Once it is in the pony tail tease it with a brush, again smoothing the surface. Twist your hair around the base of the pony tail and secure it with bobby pins to create the bun. The bangs are the easy part! All you have to do is twist them away from your face and pin the end into the base of the bun.
If you watch the video closer you will see she has a few different styles you can re-create with the basics I showed you! Good luck and enjoy!
Pop icon, Jennifer Lopez is back on the scene! With her newest single, “On the Floor” (check it out below), she rocks a few different hair styles. She wears her long textured hair down to whip it about, and her more elegant updo. In this post, we are going to focus in on her style with her hair let down.
This first picture, the cover of the single album, is very similar to that of the hair in the video. Here she is given lots of layers that allow us to see more movement when she dances in the music video.
She doesn’t have fringe, but she has some facial framing to allow for texture around the face. Her color is highlighted with Balayage using color to create a golden borwn color with cool gold highlights. This helps emphasize the texture her hair is given
As for styling, I would use Kevin.Murphy Anti.Gravity in her damp hair to give volume to the hair and the Alterna Texturizing Glaze for texture. When it is almost dry, I would grab my large round brush and start to blow dry the hair. At her front hairline, be sure to blowdry with the round brush at the base of the hair to give yourself the volume she has at front. After each section of hair was dry and warm, I would twist the hair off of the brush and let it cool in a coil. Once all the hair is dry, break up the curl with your fingers and sprinkle in a bit of the Kevin.Murphy Powder.Puff at the base of the front hairline and throughout the ends to create volume and further emphasize texture.
