CRIMP YOUR STYLE
Think of it as his-and-her hair. At least that's what NAHA-nominated hairdresser Steve Elias was going for when he set out to create a collection of hairstyles for guys and dolls that was in complete harmony, from the hairstyle to the haircolor. Elias used a mix of red, copper, gold and brown shades from Aveda on her. On him: a clear glaze to add shine. Both looks were styled with a new line of products from Shu Uemura. —M.D.
 Steve Elias used a crimping iron to create a punk-retro look on both models. |
Bump It Up
Flat hair is getting a secret boost with new BUMPITS volumizing inserts from Big Happie Hair. The self-gripping styling tools, which come in two sizes, are inserted under a section of hair wherever height is desired—no teasing required! Bumpits come in four shades—light blonde, medium blonde, brunette and black—so that they blend in with all hair colors. bighappiehair.com —L.M.

 OPI You Don't Know Jacques |
WHAT'S ON YOUR IPOD?
We asked Adrianne Johnston, a stylist at Chicago's high-end Maxine Salon, what she's been listening to.
"Pro Nails" (remix) by Kid Sister featuring Kanye West. "A great song, and yep, it's about getting a manicure and pedicure. Plus, her personal throwback style is fab."
"Time to Pretend" by MGMT. "The whole album has a great electric feel. I enjoy the psychedelic vibe from this song. It's awesome for getting in the groove while styling."
"Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. "Who doesn't know this jam? When this song comes on, everyone starts singing."
