Keri Hilson looked gorgeous, as always, for a Pre-Oscar party hosted by Okay Magazine held at Beso Restaurant. I (Alana Dawn) did her makeup for this event and Maisha Oliver, Keri’s hair stylist, did a great job with her hair (I love the bangs).

What I’ve been noticing in a lot of fashion magazines are several hair styles repeated. So they must be hair trends for 2010!
Here are what I’ve noticed:
Braids-to the side, loose, fish tail, and perfect for growing out your fringe style
Tips: no time to fix your hair? Braids is your answer!
Natural textures: embrace what your mama gave you! love those curls, sweep it up softly for a loose up do
High pony tail: it’s not just for the gym, it’s high fashion!
Tips: Add a creamy, medium to heavy hold to comb your hair up. Use a boar bristle brush to really slick your hair back, spray baby hairs when you got it all up
Middle part & loose waves: do together or separate, the bohemian chic look, very natural and airy
Tips: not too much stiff products, when starting wet, blow dry all your hair forward to give a little lift. Add some curl products. I love Bumble n Bumble Curl Conscious Creme!! it holds just enough of your curl, reduces frizz and best of all NOT stiff!
For stick straight hair, take random sections and simply wrap around iron. It’s simple because you don’t want a prom look! Add a little shine on your ends. Try Bumble and Bumble Defrizz, can be used on wet hair but best on dry hair
Lastly, Straight bangs/Full Fringe: I love bangs because even if you don’t have time to style your hair, just make sure your bangs are in place and put on a cute hat, do a side pony tail, or just leave your hair down.
Tips: make sure your bangs are fully wet, and you have a clean face, you don’t want your bangs sticking to your forehead grease! take a brush and hold your blowdry hitting the top of your bangs. Use your brush to do a criss cross action with your bangs. This neutralizes any cowlicks that causes your bangs to pop up

Forgot to include these pictures from ISSE show in Long Beach this year. A company called Chihtsai Hair Care was doing some crazy updos to draw in some attention for their hair products.
For one of the updos, the stylist was attaching hair pieces he made out of scratch. I never would have thought you can make an amazing piece from extra hair on the floor, add some strong hair spray and you get this..

The ISSE show in Long Beach Convention Center happens once a year and is the biggest hair show in California. I’ve always worked it before at the booths, either with my previous school, Paul Mitchell, or Auraline- a private cosmetics company. This year I was a kid in a candy store. I came to shop and restock my tools!
Enjoy some pictures I thought were pretty cool!

Did you know that Egyptians were the first to cultivate beauty in an extravagant fashion. They used cosmetics as part of their personal beautification habits, for religious ceremonies, and in preparing the deceased for burial.

For all the faux redheads and true redheads, you can and you should be able to wear red lipstick. There are now a wide variety of red lipstick shades for your type of red head.
Forget the make up rule of redheads shouldn’t wear red lipstick.. It’s sexy.

Kate Gosselin looks so beautiful with her new extensions, done by hair stylist Ted Gibson. Not only was she known for Jon and Kate plus 8, but I think also for her hair cut. I don’t want to be mean because maybe that is the in thing where she’s from, but I have to say she looks WAY better now!
