Extension Etiquette 101!

• If your weave itches, pat rather than scratching in order to relieve the itch. Patting is a great technique because it will leave your style undisturbed. When using this technique please do so gently and discreetly.
• After shampoo & conditioning your weave be sure to make sure that the braids underneath are completely dry. If the braids are not dried completely it can be damaging to your hair. It’s best to continue going to your stylist for up-keep.  Their hooded dryers will dry your hair completely and quickly. 
• Your daily night routine is just as important as your morning  one. Whether it’s pin curls, two-strand twists, braids or wrapping in a circular motion; do the best technique necessary to maintain your style. Lastly, always wear a silk scarf or bonnet.

London Fashion Week: ACNE SS '13 by WELLA!

The Acne SS ‘13 show created the “Handsome Women” look to bring its presentation to life. The Global Creative Director of Wella Professionals, Eugene Souleiman, used a sculpted and clean look with a simple ponytail. The trick was all in the angled partings which gave “touches of Victoriana, equestrian, punk and bondage.” The gel stripe technique created a glossy “architectural feel” from the runway’s lighting. Anyone can try this cool technique!

Get the look:

1. Start with clean freshly washed and conditioned hair.

2.   Blow dry flat using Wella Professionals Flowing Form Smoothing Balm to create a smooth sleek finish.

3.  Straighten hair to ensure perfectly smooth hair then make a deep side, centre or diagonal parting.

4.  Section the hair into three, back, left and right and brush the back section smoothly down and tie tightly off at the nape of the neck.

5. Pull back the right side of the hair taut, brushing smooth with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray to create a perfectly smooth look and tie into the pony tail.

6. Repeat with the left side.

7. Taking a tinting brush, paint on a stripe of Wella Professionals Sculpt Force Flubber Gel down one side of the hair line to the top of the ear. Using a diffuser, dry the gel strip to ‘set it’.

8. Finally spray a light mist of Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray to create a perfectly sleek look.

Fall into BOLD Lip Color!

Bold lips are carrying over into fall and we want you to glam it up in the perfect hue! Check out these beauty tips to pull off the perfect look:

Deeper hues work on deeper skin tones, while pinker, lighter shades work on lighter skin tones.

Get The Look:

1.    Keep your eye palette neutral. A swipe of your favorite subtle color will help your lip color pop!

2.    Prep your lips with a moisturizing balm to keep them from flaking. Chapped lips look amplified when covered in a bright pigment.

3.     Add on your bright color. One coat will give you a muted look while still being bold, while two coats will really make your lips stand out. Blot on a tissue to absorb excess moisture.
