Cocktailing products is a huge timesaver for stylists, especially those who have clients on the constant go, go, go. All it takes is a dollop of THIS, two pumps of THAT and a spritz of THIS and you’re ready to shake, rattle and roll your client’s hair into absolute styling perfection. A big fan of “shaking things up” is our pint-sized friend Janine Jarman, who has the perfect recipe for creating a “Foxy Lady” in the salon. “For a big and foxy finish, I wash and condition hair with Sebastian Professional Volupt Shampoo and Conditioner to enhance natural volume,” she explains. “I towel dry hair and then spritz Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray from roots to ends for thermal protection and added lift. I then apply Sebastian Professional Mousse Forte from mid-shaft to ends, then add a drop of Sebastian Professional Liquid Gloss to the ends only for polished finish. Blow-dry while styling with a round brush.” Get 18 more cocktailing recipes!

New York Fashion Week is right around the corner and we’re predicting the ponytail will get tons of play on the runways. Alterna’s Global Creative Director Michael Shaun Corby demonstrates a fun, playful pony that’s sure to get your creative Fashion Week juices flowing. First, prep towel-dried hair with Alterna Bamboo Kendi Oil then work Caviar Anti-Aging Radiant Smoothing Lotion into damp hair from roots to ends. Next, blow-dry hair with a round brush until the hair is completely dry. Focus on lifting the hair at the roots and away from the face to create lots of height and volume. Divide the hair in half by creating a horizontal part from ear to ear. Pull the back section into a sleek, tight ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Next, take the sides and pull them tightly into the band. Lightly tease the top section, smooth then pull back gently and wrap it around the elastic band to conceal it. Support the style with Caviar Anti-Aging Working Hairspray. Get a FREE Deluxe Sample of Alterna Bamboo Kendi Oil!
