Erin is Looking

Beautiful with Balayage

MTV VJ, Erin McNaught is now sporting one of the most popular colour trends, Balayage, courtesy of Stephen Roser from Oscar Oscar Salons in Sydney.

“I needed to create a new look for Erin to suit her new role as an MTV host. Erin had never coloured her hair before, so I wanted to create something that was more current and sexy but also a style that suited her relaxed beach babe personality, so Balayage was the perfect solution. With Balayage we enhanced her natural sun-kissed hair by lifting her colour two to three shades from the mid-lengths to the ends. We also finished her look with an all over Aveda Colour Gloss in a honey shade to add a glamorous shine and warmer tones to her hair.For post-colour maintenance we then prescribed Erin with a take-home treatment, the Aveda Dry Remedy Treatment Masque, as it is essential that she uses a treatment once a week to add moisture and to keep her hair in top condition.” - Stephen Roser

Messy Up-Do's!

Messy up-dos are being worn by every fashionista this season with top-knots, messy buns and rockabilly quiffs being the hairstyle of choice! Paloma-Rose Garcia created her own version of a messy up do at this years 2010 Australian Fashion Week so read on to see howshe did it!

"I wanted the hair to be modern, slightly androgynous and directional but still quite soft so that it suited the fashion direction of the collection. The key to ensuring this style had a modern edge was to create lots of texture through a combination of backcombing and using great products such as Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion." - Paloma Rose Garcia

How-to with Paloma:

1: Prep hair with Aveda Volumising Tonic from roots to ends.

2: Create horseshoe section on crown and prep with Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam at the roots.

3: Rough blowdry with hands to create natural texture.

4: Section hair starting at nape of the neck and gently backcomb each section, then spray with each section with Aveda Air Control and smooth over with a straightening iron to create a light frizzy hair.

5: Repeat this process for all of the hair – excluding horseshoe section

6: Now with the backcombed section create a French roll and secure with bobby-pins.

7: Next use a medium curling tong to create loose bends in the horseshoe section.

8: Pin the horse shoe section to create a loose quiff, with the style and movement depending on texture and length of hair.

9: Finish look with Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion for added texture.
