The Brit Awards 2012!!

Published at: 11:02 am - Wednesday February 22 2012

 

Well… who watched the Brit Awards last night?

It was a fab night for celebrating music, the fashion on the Red Carpet and outstanding performances from huge stars!

Rihanna… OH WE LOVE YOU!! We love her stunning gold sparkly dress with a huge spilt! After all she does deserve to stand out … she just turned 24! Rihanna gave a fantastic performance of her big hit ‘We Found Love’ which really got the crowd going! Rihanna also won International Solo Female Artist!

Jessie J… in a rather daring dress – completely see-through… but we love it! It’s such a different look for Jessie and we’re glad to see her in something new than another catsuit! Also have you noticed she has also ditched her poker straight bob for a slicked curly bob? A great look for Jessie!

Adele is looking amazing!! Her black floor-length dress with sheer sleeves really suits her! Another big congratulations to Adele as she won two awards for British Female Solo Artist and British Album of the Year!!

To create Adele’s curls we recommend using our Denman Self-Grip Hair Rollers!  When your hair is damp, wind each roller into the hair. You can either blowdry the hair to speed the process up or if you have a lot of time you can let your hair dry naturally. Once all of your hair is dried, unwind your hair from the rollers and see your newly formed curls.

Kylie Minogue… Beautiful! That colour of blue really suits Kylie’s hair and skin tone, she looks fab! She’s even accessorised her look with long dripping diamond earrings.

Lydia Bright from TOWIE in a light pink vintage style dress with black beads! We love this dress because it is completely different to everyone else’s, it’s not your typical Red Carpet dress and it’s great to see Lydia sticking with her vintage style!

Pixie Lott wore a fab black dress with tassels. Pixie also wore her hair in an up-do with the front sections curled!

When you’re on a night out, why not glam up your hairstyle like the celebs and add some Denman Rhinestone Spirals! They simply twist into the hair and don’t get stuck! :)

Formal/Prom Night Hairstyles!

Published at: 11:02 am - Tuesday February 21 2012

 

Formal/Prom season is almost here!!

So much to do and such little time!

First you need to decide what dress you want – short, long, the colour, skin-tight or ball gown, straps or strapless?

Secondly your hair – which depends on the dress – if you have straps go for an up-do and if your dress is strapless then let your hair down!

Thirdly, your make-up, shoes and accessories!

We have an elegant up-do which is perfect for formals/proms, let’s see the celebs that have worn this hairstyle.

 Eva Longoria, Emma Stone and Rachel Evan Wood are all fans of this elegant up-do!

To create the celebrity up-do, just follow these very easy steps.

1. Wash and dry your hair completely and then spray your hair with a heat protector. Straighten all of your hair so it is poker straight.

2. Starting just behind your fringe at the top of your head, spray the top sections of hair with hairspray. Take your D91 Dressing Out Brush and begin to backcomb each section. By backcombing the top of your head you will be creating the height and volume in the hair.

3. Once all of the sections at the top of your head have been backcombed take the D82M Boar Bristle Brush and brush the backcombed hair back. This will smooth all of the bumps out from the backcombing and will add gloss and shine to the hair. Gather the hair at the back of your head and twist into a bouffant and pin in place.

4. You now want to gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and begin to twist it. Push the twist up and starting pinning the twist to your head with bobby pins. Fold the top of the twist under so you don’t have hair sticking out at the top. Make sure that you tuck away any other bits of hair.

5. Finish with hairspray for a longer hold.

 

It’s quite easy once you’ve had a few practice goes! Why not try it out!?

Britain’s Got Talent – Judge’s Style Wars!!

Published at: 11:02 am - Monday February 20 2012

 

Oh how exciting!! Britain’s Got Talent is coming back to our screens soon and the auditions have already started!

We love it when the judges find new talent, especially if it’s something new that we haven’t seen it before. But we have to admit that we love the really funny ones! It makes great TV!

Of course a competition isn’t complete without judges! This year we have some new faces… Alesha Dixon and David Walliams will be joining Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden on the panel!

It’s only the auditions and the girls are already starting the style wars!

Source: dailymail.com

Wow… the girls both look stunning!!

Amanda looks fab in this bright blue lace dress… and this photo was taken 3 weeks after giving birth to her daughter!

Alesha’s dress is amazing, the structured skirt with the mix of different patterns are fab!

The girl’s both have their hair straightened which looks great! Why not try our Denman Straightening brush because it will cause LESS damage to your hair as you will not be using irons. When your hair is damp, take a section of your hair and clamp the straightening brush on it. Next, point your hairdryer at the vent part of the brush, this will allow you to dry your hair. Slowly glide the straightening brush and the hairdryer down the section of hair, like you would when using straightening irons. Continue this all over your hair. This brush has natural boar bristles which means that it will grip the hair and add shine and gloss to your hair.

We love Amanda’s red dress; she is definitely giving Alesha some competition! And check out her leopard print heels… we want them!! Maybe our Denman Red Leopard Print brush would be perfect to complete Amanda’s look!

Alesha’s pretty pastel outfit! She looks great; we love the mix of a peach jacket with gold heels!

It’s so difficult to decide which judge is winning the style war!

Tell us who you think is the best dressed judge?

Kelly Osbourne has had her ups and down’s when it comes to fashion, but right now… she is looking fab! Kelly has become such has fashion icon that she is now changing her look 3 times in 24 hours!

Look 1: Kelly wore a knee-length red coat on her journey to the J. Mendel Fall 2012 catwalk show! She looks great!

To create Kelly’s hair, spray the front sections of your hair with hairspray and backcomb it with our Denman D91 Dressing Out Brush. Once the front of your hair has been backcombed brush it back using the D82M Boar Bristle brush as this will create that smooth and glossy look just like Kelly’s so you won’t have any bumps! Secure with bobby pins at the back of the head!

Look 3: After the catwalk show, Kelly changed her outfit completely to another black dress that was sparkly accessorised with pink heels and a loose updo! This was a fab look for the MAC cosmetics Viva Glam Party as she really stood out!!

This Week’s Best Dressed!

Published at: 10:02 am - Thursday February 16 2012

 

We all love seeing what the celebs are wearing to their big events or even just out shopping! It gives us an idea of what’s in fashion at the moment and then we try to re-create their look by purchasing something similar!

This week we have picked out 3 celebs which we think are this week’s Best Dressed!

Source: dailymail.com

Jessica Alba, looked gorgeous in a teal bodycon dress with black leather detail around the top. We love that she wore her hair scraped back from her face in a bun with bright red lipstick! This is a great look!

Amy Childs… RAWR! Leopard print is still very much in fashion! Such a fab look and her hair is amazing in loose curls! All Amy needs now is a Denman Leopard Print Brush to complete her look!!!

Nicki Minaj… is looking very colourful!! It takes a lot of guts to wear something very bright but after all you will totally stand out from the crowd! This is definitely the perfect outfit for Nicki to wear to her Viva La Glam MAC Cosmetic Range Launch Party! We really love Nicki’s blonde hair; it helps bring out the vibrant colours of her dress! Also remember that if you have any hair extensions or wig’s that you keep them in good condition by brushing them with our D80M Nylon Bristle Brush. This brush is very gentle on the hair so it won’t rip it out and it will detangle it.

 Which look will you be trying out this weekend?

Big Hair is BACK!

Published at: 11:02 am - Wednesday February 15 2012

 

Are you fed up with your lifeless, flat hair? Well now is the time to add some volume and bounce to it!

Source: dailymail.com

Kylie Minogue has become a fan of big hair; she modelled for a photo shoot with ‘Stylist Magazine’ and showed off her volumised curls! How amazing does Kylie look? We think it’s one of her best looks and it will be very popular!

Source: dailymail.com

Cheryl Cole and Adele are also fans of the big hair look! It is almost like bringing back the big hairdo’s from the 60′s but with Kylie on board, she will rock this look!!

Create the Big Volumised Hair-do look here:

1. Taking the top sections of your hair that is damp, wind in our Denman Jumbo Self-Grip Hair Rollers. As they have velcro on them you won’t need to secure them with a bobby pin because they are self-grip! Blowdry the hair and the rollers with the hairdryer so the hair is completely dry.

2. Unwind the hair from the hair rollers, as you will see this will have created volume in the hair. Spray the hair from the hair rollers with hairspray and take the D91 Dressing Out brush and begin to backcomb the sections. Once the hair has gained maximum volume and height, scrape it back and pin in place.

3. Curl the rest of your hair with curling tongs and then begin to brush the hair (including the backcombed section) with the Denman D82M Boar Bristle Brush. This brush will condition and smooth the hair and add shine and gloss!

It’s a really easy hairstyle to create! Why not try it out this weekend?

Elle Style Awards!

Published at: 11:02 am - Tuesday February 14 2012

 

Last night in London was the Elle Style Awards, which was hosted by Alexa Chung! Not only is there awards for the Best Fashion Designer or Best Model, there is also categories for Best TV Star and Best Music Act!

Of course it wouldn’t be a style award ceremony without the celebs battling for best dressed!

Source: dailymail.com

Christina Hendricks stood out from the crowd in a bright purple dress that had a floral design. We can see why she won the award for Best TV Star, she looks great. Her hair looks amazing and is very easy to create:

Curl your hair using our Denman Self-Grip Hair Rollers. When your hair is damp, wind each roller into the hair. You can either blowdry the hair to speed the process up or if you have a lot of time you can let your hair dry naturally. Once all of your hair is dried, unwind your hair from the rollers and see your newly formed curls. Take the front section of your hair and pin it behind your ear just like Christina’s.

Lisa Snowdon looked great in a sixty’s-style cream dress with her hair loosely curled!

Pixie Geldof … wow… she is a red hot chilli pepper!! We love her blonde curly hair and red lipstick… a fab look! :)

Who do you think had the best look?

The Grammy Awards !

Published at: 12:02 pm - Monday February 13 2012

Last night was definitely the night for style, glitz and glamour with the biggest night for the music industry - The Grammys! This is a huge award which recognises achievement in the music industry!

 

Source: dailymail.com & amazon.com

It was a night that had mixed feelings of both, happiness and sadness.

A great win for Adele who won 6 Grammy awards!! She really did deserve to win them. The awards where for: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Short Form Music Video. We’re pretty sure Adele celebrated well last night – Well Done Adele!

We’re sure you all have heard the devastating news that Whitney Houston has died. We just can’t believe it but ‘We Will Always Love Her’. She was a singer, actress and producer who won many awards. Last night at the Grammys, Jennifer Hudson paid tribute to Whitney by singing one of her biggest hits ‘I Will Always Love You’. Whitney will always be remembered as ‘The Queen Of The Night’ and her talent will continue to inspire young artists.

Katy Perry – WOW!! We are loving this pastel blue lacy dress! It’s very vintage and it matches her hair! A great look Katy! :)

To create Katy’s Quiff, we recommend that you use the D91 Dressing Out brush to backcomb the front of your hair. Once backcombed, scrape back the hair and the sides and pin in place. Use some hairspray for extra hold.

Taylor Swift looked very glamorous in a gold detailed Zuhair Murad gown which really showed off her amazing figure! Taylor’s hair was scraped back into a bun which added an elegant touch to her look!

Rihanna… LOVE IT!! She definitely turned heads in a stunning low cut with a thigh-high spilt by Armani! Also… Rihanna’s curly blonde hair is such a great look!

Did you watch the Grammy Awards?

Valentine’s Day – Night-Time Date Look!

Published at: 11:02 am - Friday February 10 2012

 

Yesterday’s blog we showed you a Day-Time look that would be perfect for going bowling or to the cinema on Valentine’s Day. Today we’ve got a new look that you can glam up as much as you want for a Night-Time Date!

This look is perfect if you’re going for dinner or if you’re going to a club! Again we’re keeping it really easy and simple to create!

Let’s see the girls who are rockin’ this look!!

 

Sources: hairstylesfashion.onsugar.com, realbeauty.com & glamour.com

Dianna Agron, Christina Aguilera and Lauren Conrad!

As you can see the girls look fab! This hairstyle suits everyone and will be gorgeous for your Night-Time Date.

Let’s create this look!

1. Looking at the girls above you can see that you can have your hair curled or straightened, it’s completely up to you what you want. Straighten or curl all of your hair completely.

2. If you have a fringe make sure you leave it out of the backcombing process just like Christina and Lauren’s hair! If you don’t have a fringe, brush all of your hair back like Dianna’s hair. Starting at the top of your head, take a section of hair and spray with hairspray. Grab your Denman D91 Dressing Out brush and begin to backcomb this section of hair. It will look really messy but don’t worry it is supposed to! Continue this technique at the sides of your head.

3. Now that you have backcombed all of your hair, push it back and gather it in your hands. Gently twist the hair and push up to create a bouffant. You can now see why you have to backcomb your hair as it will help create height and volume for the bouffant to hold! Pin in place at the back of your head.  

4. You’re look is now completed, but if you would like a more glitzy/glam look, feel free to add some Denman Rhinestone Spirals, as this will add some sparkle to your hairstyle!

 

Why not try this look at the weekend! :) Let us know what you think?
