Golden Globes: Olivia Wilde, Julianne Moore and Kérastase

Check out the two looks created for Olivia Wilde & Julianne Moore (thanks to Terry Mullet & Giannandrea using none other than Kérastase products.)

Kérastase at the Globes

Olivia Wilde
Overall Look: chic French Girl look

Began by applying Kérastase Volumactive Mousse & Care Kérastase Volumactive to wet hair prior to blowdrying to give texture and volume. From there, Terry blow dried her hair with his hands, only using a round brush at the ends once almost dried to give the hair a clean, healthy, just washed type of look. Once the hair was dry, he finished with Kérastase Oléo-Relax Serum on the ends and a veil of Kérastase Double Force Hair Spray for hold.

Julianne Moore
Overall Look: "modern, romantic" look

Began by applying Kérastase Volumactive Mousse & Kérastase Nectar Thermique to her wet hair. This created volume and texture while protecting the hair from the heat of the blow-dryer. He then parted her hair down the middle to create a modern aesthetic. Following, he twisted the hair to the side and created a pony/tail twist style. He finished with Kérastase Elixir Ultime to create a healthy, finish that had a touchable, healthy shine.

Hair Care Friday (Sunday Edition): Kérastase Masque Oléo-Relax Slim (review)

It looks like Hair Care Friday is a couple of days late (oops). This year, the holiday season has been a lot crazier, so I’m not quite as on top of things as I could be. A little more smoothness…and control would be very nice.

But (prepare for corny tie-in), even if there isn’t a product to completely control and smooth out my schedule; there just so happens to be one to provide those things for my hair. From Kérastase Paris.

Masque Oléo-Relax Slim

Blurb: Intense Smoothing Masque for Thick, Dry, Rebellious Hair. Provides discipline to rebellious hair while delivering deep moisture and nourishment. Results are intense volume reduction. Moisturizes and provides hydrophobic protection with 24-hour anti-frizz protection. Smoothes and nourishes hair fiber from within creating optimal shine and softness.

If your schedule is crazy, be assured that this is is going to be a short review. This stuff is so great it doesn’t need a whole lot of words. It works. Big time.

I used it before a blowout and got one of the most amazing accidental compliments ever. Someone at work said she couldn’t remember…was my hair naturally straight or naturally curly?

Whoa.

That’s how well this product tamed my (naturally) curly fuzzy out-of-control hair. Some one had to actually ask me.

It not only made my blowout, soft, smooth, shiny and frizz-free (all day). It also got rid of my (naturally) fluffy volume, and my hair was straight and swingy. Like I was born that way.

Whoa.

Check out the website. Be sure to visit the Exclusive Offers and Salon Locator pages too. Kérastase is also sold at Target, CVS, and folica.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Friday Fun: Stay Safe and Sleek with Shu Uemura, Kérastase and Blow

Now that the Brazilian Blowout has been pulled, here are some much safer ways to get polished and sleek hair…

Safe Ways To Achieve Silky Smooth Hair

WWD recently announced the controversial harmful effects of the professional hair-smoothing treatment called Brazilian Blowout, specifically its use of formaldehyde. Luckily, safe alternatives are available on the market in both haircare and styling to help clients battle frizzy, voluminous hair to achieve sleek, smooth results.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair ShuSu Sleek: Debuted in exclusive, high-end salons in September 2011. Available in a Shampoo ($45), Conditioner ($55) and Treatment ($65), this at-home ritual disciplines coarse, unruly hair with its use of Black Cumin Oil combined with essential lipids and minerals to create a light, silky smooth style with resplendent finish of Japanese satin shusu. A soothing experiential 10, 15, or 30 minute in-salon ceremony smoothing treatment delivers intense moisture, sleekness and shine to unruly hair ($25-$75).

Kérastase Paris Oleo-Relax Slim: Designed for thick, dry and very rebellious hair with unmanageable volume. Armed with advanced CERA-TRIOLEUM COMPLEX technology – a highly innovative formula that combines a cocktail of three natural oils (Apricot, Camellia and Pracaxi), as well as ceramides, to straighten the hair fiber, reduce volume and provide anti-frizz protection. The range features an in-salon treatment ritual that offers visible and immediate slimming and softening results, as well as two at home products – a slimming masque and crème that gently relax unruly hair ($38-$60).

Kérastase Paris Announces the 2nd Annual Our Treat Event
Complimentary Hair Treatments and Blow-Outs In Support of Locks of Love


Kérastase will once again offer women across the country a gift of indulgence with the 2nd Annual Kérastase Our Treat Event. In 2009, Kérastase initiated the first-ever Our Treat Event, offering clients a complimentary Kerastase in-salon hair ritual and blow dry service. Last year, nearly 700 salons participated in this unprecedented event, offering nearly 13,000 complimentary Kérastase rituals to clients who attended. This summer, Kérastase plans to surpass last year’s efforts by hosting two momentous events for brand loyalists allowing them an opportunity to indulge in the highest level of personalized care and professional service (a $100 retail value).

With the overwhelming success of last year’s event, Kérastase chose to use this year’s program as a platform to give even more, and in the spirit of this has partnered with Locks of Love - a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from medical hair loss from any diagnosis. As Kerastase is dedicated to giving back to its enthusiasts, this partnership will provide clients with the opportunity to do the same and support a worthy cause. A donation of $10 will be suggested to participants following each complimentary treatment and blow-dry.
