Hair Smoothing Picture, Before and After.

Here are a few more ponytail ideas:

• Swept-away look, with a side part.

Lucy Liu’s sexy side part adds some pizzazz to her pony. Use bobby pins and a smoothing cream or gel like L’Oréal Paris Studio Line Smoothness Smoothing Cream Glossing Cream to hold back shorter layers. Tease your pony and spritz with a volumizing hairspray for an added boost.

• Cute and curly

Jordana Brewster is sweet yet seductive with her slicked-back, curly ponytail and playful fringe. Paired with a baby pink dress and pearly gloss, this ‘do is a winning combo. Ditch your everyday rubber band and opt for a ponytail holder that matches your hair color, like Blax Snag-Free Hair Elastics, for the perfect party look.

• New side pony

Jewel’s braided ponytail is the perfect look for this recently turned country girl. This fuss-free center part and low-slung side braid are great whether you’re hitting the red carpet or working that girl-next-door weekend vibe.

• Look ballerina chic

Bumble and Bumble editorial stylist Laurent Philippon created this bad-girl ballerina look at BCBG. To get it, pull hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic. Then spritz the tail withBumble and Bumble Hair Powderto give it some grip and staying power and divide your pony into two sections. Taking one half, twist the hair and coil it around the elastic (as if you were creating a bun) and secure with bobby pins.

• Hide your elastic

Hairstylist Kevin Ryan created this chic pony at Jason Wu’s fall 2009 runway show. First, he made a center part, gathered the hair at the nape of the neck and secured it with a bungee hairband from his Rsession Tools Pin-Up Girl Kit for a tight pony. Next, he took a section of the ponytail, made a loop at the end and tied it with a clear elastic to prevent wispy ends. Then he wrapped this piece around the pony and secured it with mini bobby pins—finishing with a shot of hairspray to prevent flyaways. For a step-by-step video, check out Suze Yalof Schwartz’s backstage interview with Ryan at New York Fashion Week.

Ponytail ideas from: Glamour

If you like to wear you hair in a ponytail for whatever reason (because you have no time to style it or just because)… if you are going to wear your hair in a ponytail then wear it like a runway model. Here are three (3) ways you can wear your hair in a ponytail and still look sexy and like a runway model, after all who said ponytails are boring…

• The cheerleader pony

You don’t have to have spirit fingers or carry pom-poms to try this ponytail DO. Freida Pinto looks fresh and sophisticated with this simple slicked-back high ponytail. For a bump-free top, try spraying a bristle brush with hairspray before combing hair back to tame kinks and flyaways. Turn up the volume on this classic style like Pinto does on the red carpet with sexy black liner and pretty pink lips.

• The messy braid

Kate Hudson embodies the comfortable-chic look, and her pony is no exception—a messy braid with loose layers in the front works with her bohemian style. To amp up the glam factor, try adding a little volume at the top by teasing the crown like Hudson does here.

• Tie up your tail

This look is as easy as it is glamorous. “The front of the hair gives the impression of a chignon,” says Barex style-team leader Odile Gilbert about this slicked-back look, “but the back is a ponytail.” Start by giving your hair a side part and running a pomade, like Barex Gum Gum, through to define and smooth flyaways, then secure the pony near the top of the head with an elastic. Gilbert attaches the ponytail to the nape of the neck by threading elastic string through both sections, but you can use two large bobby pins for the same effect. Finish with a shine spray to keep your pony looking sleek.

If you need and help come to the hair salon in El Dorado Hills, Salorah Beauty Boutique or call me and schedule an appointment and I can help you style your hair, or cut and color and then style!

Ponytail ideas from Glamour

Cold weather is here, and your hair needs to be taken care of. Here are a few tips that I have put together:

HAIR: (Come and see me at Salorah Hair Salon in El Dorado Hills and I can help you pick the right product.)

• Use a thick, rich, moisturizing conditioner that is made for your hair type. Some of the ultra-hydrating products can be too heavy for thin hair

• Don’t be afraid though of products that claim extra moisture. Many have been reformulated so the product doesn’t weigh down your hair, even if it is fine.

• Limit your use of the blow dryer. You can still style your hair effectively with a towel. Blot about 20 percent of the moisture out of your hair and then use heat. Stop as soon as your hair is dry. (Ask me about Keratin Complex Hair Treatment)

Thick or Curly Hair:

• If you have thick or curly hair, or heavy hair, you need a deep treatment you leave on for about a half-hour, once or twice a week.

• Because these hair types hold oil at the roots, don’t condition the area closest to the scalp.

Thin or Fine Hair

• Avoid deep conditioning treatments. Just use a regular conditioner every time you wash your hair. Supplement conditioning with a light leave-in spray conditioner.

Repair Your Hair

• Supplement your daily routine with hair masks, hair serums and oils to lock moisture in.

• Use natural treatments like vegetable or olive oil. Put a few drops in the palm of you had and rub in until the skin glistens. Then work the oil into your hair, starting from the bottom. This works for really dry hair. Use between washings or after you dry your hair — even after you come in from the cold.

• Simply call me and come in the salon and I will do the right treatment for your hair type.

Styling Products:

• Substitute a hair cream for gel.

• Avoid styling products with high alcohol content; they will make your hair feel drier. Look for alcohol-free products.

• We have some great styling products at our Hair Salon in El Dorado Hills, come stop by, see me and we will chat.
