These shampoos often contain an agent that leaves a movie on the hair to produce a false shine. Now you might be left with damaged hair and construct up. Additionally, the scrubbing motion that is involved within the "lather" course of creates new split ends and makes previous ones worse. To keep away from these problems, learn to scrub your hair the way stylists of the stars recommend.
This process takes just a little bit longer, however the results are worth every second. Before you even step into the shower, make certain your hair is free of all tangles. After your hair is wet, apply a small quantity of shampoo and carefully rub it onto the scalp, and solely the scalp. In case you are involved that this is not going to be sufficient in cleaning, you possibly can depart the shampoo in your hair with out scrubbing for an additional minute or two. Subsequent, simply rinse the shampoo. As it slides down the remainder of your hair, it is going to proceed to scrub, ridding your hair of the merchandise you will have utilized and the pure oils which are produced within the scalp. Except you might be washing your hair after a day of taking part in in mud puddles, the "repeat" course is completely unnecessary. The result is clean, easier to handle hair.
A number of extra easy tips can enhance this process. When applying conditioner, solely use it on the hair that extends down the nape, not the hair near the scalp.

Lastly, when drying your hair, never, and I repeat, never, rub it along with your towel!

Hair how to: D&G’s bouncy blow dry.
At D&G's farewell show, the hypnotically bright collection was glued together with free flowing, blow dried hair. But while blow dries advertise themselves to be easy-to-achieve, it’s important to get the optimum bounce in the roots and ensure the soft waves frame the face. Here's how to get it right.

The monochromatic tones of printed text dresses and chaotic animal prints were glued together with free flowing, blow dried hair. Even though blow dries advertise themselves to be exceptionally casual and easy-to-achieve, in reality, they’re very conflicting. It’s important to get the optimum bounce in the roots and ensure the soft waves frame the face.
To save you from the hair-related anxiety, the mastermind behind Redken’s hair team has shared his tips to get “a gorgeous blow-out”.
Follow the step-by-step how to guide after the break. If you’d like to make sure that you don’t miss any of the other looks in our 2012 hair trends guide, you can subscribe to our newsletter or RSS feed.
The How to:
Redken’s Creative Consultant, Guido, says, “This style looks effortless but does require a few steps to make sure the hair flows on the runway”.
If you want to look runway-ready even while doing your daily chores (who wouldn’t?), follow the steps below.
Towel-dry your hair and apply any variety of blow-dry enhancing cream to the roots. The product will create texture and hold. Guido used Redken’s Velvet Gelatine 07 to create the D&G look.
Section the hair and blow-dry using a round brush. Brush away from the roots to create volume.
Once the hair is dry, make a centre-part and brush the hair out. This will give the bounce and fullness to the locks.
If you want fuller, longer-lasting waves, leave the hair to set in a few large rollers. Backstage at D&G, models’ hair was set with several rollers while they waited for the show to go on. Be sure to roll the hair in the direction you want it to sit (in this case, roll the hair under), with the hair separated into a top, middle and bottom section.
Spray hairspray on a paddle hairbrush and gently comb away from the parting in the direction of the hair. This will settle the visible flyaway strands around the crown. Remember never to directly spray hairspray on the hair for this look.
Bouncy blow dry: how to wear it
Short answer is to wear it with anything. From work wear to a countryside holiday or even a red-carpet event (if those are part of your lifestyle), this laid-back blow wave hairstyle compliments almost everything. But it’s not just the wardrobe, wear this hair down look with metallic-smoky eyes, a bright lipstick or even a nude-dewy face, it’s adaptable in its entirety.
Thanks to Guido at Redken for sharing his how-to from backstage at D&G.
Tousled flapper bob hairstyle 2012
The waved flapper bob: how to wear it now.
The 1920s have taken another deep-end dive into the ocean of hairstyles. But in 2012, the disciplined finger waves are given a modern update - now with more texture, more tousle and a whole lot of added sexiness. Read on for details of the style, as well as steps for how to create it.
Written by Shitika Anand
to beauty, as wine-tinted lips and fluttering eyelashes hoarded many an advertisement campaign. With the anticipated release of Baz Luhrmann’s remake of The Great Gatsby, the period has taken another deep-end dive into the ocean of hairstyles.
The 1920s tousled bob is one such look that once waved the flag for being primped and pristine with its disciplined finger waves. But in 2012, we’ve seen it update itself with a modern edge, more texture and added sexiness.
And as far as 2012 hair trend predictions at Fashionising.com are concerned, this style is not a passing cloud. It’s well and truly here to stay, so you better take your notepads and curling tongs out and get ready to hop on the time machine that travels forward.
Read on to find out more about the hairstyle and to be taken through a how to guide. And be sure to subscribe to our newsletter or RSS feed if you’d like to keep up to date with all of the latest hair and fashion trends and inspiration on how to wear them.
The 1920s waved bob: how it started
When dancer Irene Castle flaunted her bob in the early 20s, the world categorised her as an independent, mature woman, due to her courageous hairstyle. The Castle Bob, as it was famously known, was a tousled straight cut that levelled with the ear lobes.Scott Fitzgerald created Bernice Bobs Her Hair and Coco Chanel cut her locks. It wasn’t long before the flapper girls started playing around with the style and made it the look for the party-filled decade. For the majority of time, it was a short bob with a defined curl resting on the forehead or on the side of the cheek. The once cherished long locks were traded for The Shingle Bob, Eton Crop, Windswept Bob and Bernice Bob.
But as the flapper culture faded away, the strength of this cut also lost its aura and the bob was no longer a phenomenon until the 1960s.
Tousled: the waved bob now
However, whoever said ‘history repeats itself,’ must bake a cake for himself. This year, we’re seeing a comeback of the finger waved bob but with a new cut, style and a change of wardrobe. Mark Fast gave a push to this tousled bob hairstyle as his spring 2012 collection came down the runway. It almost seemed like he had asked his hair team to chop off every model’s hair, in order to get the perfect length, shape, texture and flow.
The side parting worked efficiently for the 1920s-theme, but the textured bob glued itself to the aesthetic of the collection, as a newfound elegance found its way on the runway.
The general rule for a hair trend to gain additional value is to see it off the runway. And so be it, with Arizona Muse claiming the position of an unofficial ambassador of a bob. Muse has tried them all, from a ‘60s style mod bob to this textured 1920s bob. She has the perfect cut for it, making it viable for hair stylists.
In this crimped-up messy do, as shot on the streets of Paris, Muse has taken a subtle and modern approach towards the pristine finger waves. It’s inclined towards a casual, less defined style and is also translatable to your daily hair regime.

How-to create the new waved flapper bob
The cut:
To state the obvious, the tousled bob will not quite work if you have long hair, so this style is specifically for those who embrace short locks, or even those who like to experiment and surprise themselves. But, Mark Fast and his hair team did take the challenge and made it work for longer hair (see the styling steps below).If we were to look back at the Flapper era, the traditional cut was always just where the ears ended or slightly above it. It was a clear bob cut. Flapper girls never had their hair long, which also added to androgynous feel of the look.
But when we translate the look in 2012, we want to make it look as modern, glamourous and effortless as we can. Since a very short bob demands high maintenance, make this look yours by keeping your hair shoulder length or an inch below the ears.
However, if you do want to experiment with your locks this New Year, then brave the scissors and go with an above the ear cut. But keep in mind that the styling will be a little more time taking and tricky.
The tools:
To style this look effectively, you’ll need the following tools:- Tail comb brush
- Wire rods (if available)
- Curling tong
- Flat iron
- Curl enhancing cream
- Working spray
- Hairspray
- Lots of hair pins
Styling it:
At the Mark Fast spring 2012 show, Tigi’s hair team is to be credited for creating the look on the runway. James Pecis shares his styling tips on ways to get the tousled bob at home and making it street-friendly.With wire rods:
The styling for a textured, tousled bob works best on second-day hair. If it’s freshly washed then prep the hair with a working spray and run your fingers through it. Tigi used ‘Catwalk by TIGI Session Series Work It Hairspray’ for the runway show.
Create a side part and flip the hair on one side. Use a tail comb brush and backcomb the hair around the hairline and the parting. You need to create a cushion around the head for hairpins to grip on. Don’t backcomb around the crown.
If using wire rods (though not compulsory – see below), wrap small sections of hair in figure of eights around the wire rod. Spray some hair spray on the wire rod. Use a flat iron and set the rods in place. This will give a flat wave in the hair and adhere to the 1920s look. Do it all over the outer layer of your hair.
Leave the wire in for about 20 minutes. On removing the rods, use your fingers to soften and break the shape of the curls.
If you have long hair, take the ends of the hair and secure it underneath with bobby pins. This will create a U-shaped bob with very clean lines.
Spray some hairspray and set the curls in place. The team used ‘Catwalk by TIGI Session Series Finishing Hairspray’ for this particular look.
Pull a few loose pieces out to make the look more distressed and sexy. Finish off with some shine spray, if required.
Prep the hair by following steps 1 and 2 above
Curl relatively large chunks of hair strands on medium heat.
When the hair has come down to room temperature, use a paddle brush to comb out the curls.
Take a flat iron and flatten the area around the hairline by pressing the hair on medium heat. Don’t run your iron over the curls; it’ll loose its shape. Spray some hairspray and set the curls in place.
Finish off with some shine spray, if required.
Side pinned waves hair style 2012
Hair how to: flowing, side-pinned waves.
Flowing waves and bouncy blow dries are in hot demand for spring 2012. Another variation, as spotted on the runway at Sonia Rykiel, sees the '40s collide with the '70s: more relaxed than the former yet more formal than the latter, accessorised with a youthful hair clip. Read on for steps on how to master the style.
Written by Shitika Anand
The seasonal changes in the real world didn’t affect the chirpiness of Sonia Rykiel’s spring 2012 collection. Just as the sunshine yellow carpet graced the catwalk, it also reflected the crispness of vanilla-hued clothes. But the prime position was given to the Parisian-styled hair that injected overdue positivity to fashion shows in Paris.You would have noticed an ongoing theme in our 2012 hairstyles guide – flowing waves and blow dries aplenty. What was previously shunned for being a boring hair-down technique has now been revamped. Thank you, catwalk shows.
Sonia Rykiel is also to be thanked for giving us a new approach to a curled hair blow-dry, one that translates itself to being classic and glamourously chic. As with other hair trends for the year, the side part here isn’t incidental: it’s a deliberate feature to draw attention to. The part is swept tidily across and secured with a hair barrette or pin, adding a youthful touch.
Redken’s Creative Consultant, Guido, gets the inspiration from the ever-so-bubbly designer.
“Inspired by Sonia herself – this season the look is a little 1940s meets 1970s, very flirty and pretty. The style is a healthy, bouncy blow-dry” he says. Find out how to recreate the style after the break.

The how to:
This is the perfect example of a blow dry that can either take you back to your teenage high-school days or transform you into a forties-glamourous-bombshell.Guido shares with us his step-by-step on how to successfully get the look.
Apply a blow-dry lotion to damp hair (the Redken team used Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow-dry lotion).
Use a blow dryer to create texture at the roots of your hair. Run your fingers through the strands and lift the roots while blasting hot air towards the scalp.
Once hair is completely dry, create a deep side part.
Spray a curl-enhancing mist all through the hair and use a 1-inch iron to curl your hair. You may also use a curling tong. Guido suggests Hot Sets 22 Thermal Setting Mist for this step.
Don’t touch the curls when they’re hot. They need to come down to room temperature in order to get their desired shape.
Flip your hair down and use a paddle brush to comb out the curls. The hair should be smooth.
To get Rykiel’s runway look, secure a black barrette, about an inch above the right eye, for added sophistication. You can also use a bobby pin to tone the look down.
Apply some hairspray, if needed.

Catwoman’s direction
Venezuelan-born, London-based designer Liz Black has been swept up in the comic book mania. Popular culture loves all things super-hero right now, and Black’s collection – titled Superheroine – knows it. But this collection isn’t a literal interpretation of any particular superheroine: there’s no gimmicks. But there is plenty of leather trim that might nod in Catwoman’s direction, plenty of bright colourblocking, and above all a focus on structured tailoring that simply sends the brain into a flurry of futurist imagery. Black’s philosophy of creating “wearable statement pieces with a timeless appeal” comes into full play here.
