You may remember this blurb from ALLURE magazine's MAKEOVER PROS when he was at a previous salon:

Hernandez took Shakira blonde, which gave us hope for our ashy color. His technique was unusual (he replaced foils with cotton wool) but achieved golden streaks that electrified our hair gorgeously.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!! COZY FRIEDMAN shows us her HEART BRAID

February 14, 2013

Author of Cozy’s Complete Guide to Girls’ Hair, Cozy Friedman and beauty expert and author of Bonding Over Beauty, Erika Katz have created the cutest do-it-yourself styles and beauty recipes for Valentine’s Day. Pamper yourself with these great styles and recipes or share them with girlfriends!

THE HEART BRAID 

Cozy Friedman’s Heart Braid is her signature Valentine’s Day style, featured in Cozy’s Complete Guide to Girls' Hair. If you have the French Braid down packed then this style will be an easy feat!

What You’ll Need: Wide-tooth comb, fine-tooth comb, decorative hair clip, ponytail holders 

Image005

HOW TO!!

Step 1: Starting with damp hair (either towel-dried or misted), use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair.  Then, using a fine-tooth comb, part the hair down the middle of the head.  Clip one side up right above the ear.

 

Step 2: On the other side of the part, use the fine comb to gather a thin section of hair from the crown.  This section should measure about 2 inches from the hairline to the top of the head.

 

Step 3: Divide this section into three, and begin a French braid starting at the crown and curving toward the temple, then toward the back of the head, like the top lobe of a heart.  You will be lifting hair into the braid only from this side of the part.  Leave no loose hair in front of the ears.

 

Step 4: When you reach the center part at the back of the head, secure the braid with a ponytail holder.  If the hair is very long, end the braid about mid-ear; the ends will hang down the back.

 

Step 5: Unclip the hair on the other side of the part and repeat the process.  Secure with a ponytail holder.

 

Step 6: Join the ends of the braids together in the back.

Rita Hazan’s POP Color is the perfect way to brighten up your locks for some 2013 fun!

January 10, 2013

When this came across the GROOMED LA desks, well, we lost our minds. Ever since the Katy Perry documentary took over our house for several weeks, all we have wanted (when I say we, I mean Aria, 7, and myself, is fun hair color. Obviously, without any real commitment. 

We tried several brands.  One streak-wand type got all over everything. Everything!! My two year old had blue running down his face after I hugged him. The other brand, didn't show up at all. SAD FACE.

Thanks to Celeb stylist (and Katy Perry's personal stylist!) Rita Hazan's POP COLOR – we hit the motherlode!!!

It's totally perfect. WE ARE OBSESSED!!!!!

 Pop Color Lineup

WHAT :: A collection of Pink, Purple and Blue spray-on hair color inspired by a nationwide trend that Rita originally debuted on her client, Katy Perry. 

Hazan created POP Color so that women all across the country could temporarily customize and experiment with their color by adding vibrant highlights, streaks, tips, and all-over color without using tints, bleaches or peroxide. Combining Rita’s signature color formulas with her proprietary aerosol spray technology, POP Color is as fun to apply as it is to wear.

Contributing to the uniqueness of this one of a kind product, Rita teamed up with a graffiti artist to add a distinctive, ultra-luxe touch to the product packaging. POP Color is a real representation of the original, edgy and innovative artist that Rita truly is.

COLORS/ LOOKS

POP Color comes in 3 shades that were created to work with all hair colors whether you are dark or light: pink, purple, and blue.  

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Best on dry, styled hair.  Hold the can 12 inches from hair & spray continuously.  Cover clothing to protect from errant color.  Vibrant color dries in less than 5 minutes.  Learn application tips and style suggestions from Rita at ritahazan.com 

INGREDIENTS/ SAFETY

POP Color does not alter hair texture or hair color on a permanent basis because it does not contain permanent dyes, bleaches, ammonia, or peroxide.
