06.21.10Miley: In Driver Seat With HairMiley Cyrus cut off her long-as-shit extensions. Word is she spent nine hours at Gemini 14 salon in Manhattan last week and then revealed her new look at Sunday's 21st annual MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. "She was going for a more mature look,” Gemini 14 colorist Vicki Vidov told People. “Her hair is shorter and the color was amped up--she has new brown and blonde shades mixed in.” Miley preformed in the above getup, though, with a clip-in braid, perhaps? I dunno what is going on there, but I am tired of Miley, and don't have the energy for her, ...

06.21.10Who Does Ashley's Hair?I just got an email from a Hair On The Brain reader, asking: "Just curious, since I've been thinking about extensions, I was wondering if we know who did Ashley Greene's hair this last time around?" In fact we do! Her stylist is (and has been for quite a while now) mega-celeb stylist, Ted Gibson. He has even been quoted saying that Ashley Greene is his muse. He did her hair for the cover of Nylon magazine’s annual Young Hollywood issue. Ted gave Ashley serious rocker hair for the shoot. To style Ashley’s extensions, Ted used Build It Blow Drying Spray over ...

06.19.10Corrupted YouthJessica Alba is on the latest cover of Genlux Magazine. (Still rocking the extensions.) Usually her photos are pretty tame, but this one is semi-out there… The premise of the editorial seems to be Jessica teaching dolls how to be a badass. It’s interesting, but I think it would have been even better if she was posed with real children, instead of dolls. What do you guys think? More pics of Jessica Alba's Genlux cover story, after the break. Continue Reading...

06.12.10Extensions!I met with Jordana Lorraine over at Dino-Clark Salon in Santa Monica yesterday to discuss my favorite HOTB topic: Extensions! Actually, I just thought of something. I wonder if Jordanna would rather do/discuss extensions or Brazilian Blowouts, as she is a whiz at both. Anyway, Jordana was super sweet in person, and I felt like I'd known her forever since I've interviewed her a bunch of times. (Check out Guide to Types of Hair Extensions, In-Depth Guide to Hair Extensions, and In-Depth Guide to Brazilian Blowouts!) It was great to finally meet in person, and it was exciting to discuss ...

06.07.10You WinKristen Stewart went with extensions again at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Hmm. So maybe they're not clip-ins? But wore them in the same style--pulled back into a ponytail. This time it was executed a little bit better than last time, but still not totally loving it. I still want to see how it looks when Kristen's hair is down. Also, I think it also goes without saying that I hate what she wore. But all-in-all, it was a good night for KStew. She won "best girl in a teen flick" or something like that, but way more importantly, look who she ...

06.05.10Love It or Leave It: Kristen's ExtensionsKristen Stewart suddenly had extra long hair on the red carpet in Seoul, South Korea earlier a few days ago when promoting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Well, we all know what overnight length means... Extensions! Kristen's long locks were pulled back into a sleek ponytail, with her telltale real hair peaking out the back. I'm guessing this look was achieved using clip-in extensions and not the real thing, well, the real fake thing. But I like this long haired look on Kristen. I would like to see it down, though. What do you guys think?

06.01.10Brazilian Blowout FAQsThe Brazilian Blowout™ (BB) is the only smoothing treatment with ZERO downtime, that means no three day wait to wash your hair like with the keratin based treatments! The minute you leave the salon with your BB, you are good to go. The main question I have been asked about my Brazilian Blowout, is if it damaged my hair, but it is the exact opposite--it seemed to improve the health of my hair, totally eliminated the frizz and added shine. It just adds a protective protein layer around each hair strand. And BB are cumulative, so your hair’s condition will ...

05.29.10Sex and the City 2 Hair SecretsHairstylist Mandy Lyons, of Sally Hershberger Downtown, has created the gorgeous hairstyles of Sarah Jessica Parker and Parker’s alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw for the last eight years. ELLE was granted an exclusive interview with Mandy and discovered what went on behind the scenes of Sex and the City 2. ELLE: How have Carrie’s hairstyles changed since the last SATC movie? Mandy Lyons: Now that Carrie’s married, we wanted her hair to be more grownup and sophisticated. You’ll see that for the bulk of the movie, she wears these big brushed-out waves that are very glamorous--we don’t normally do that to her hair. ...
