Hair style how-to: The wind-swept updo

Take your locks to new heights with this season’s hottest hair style — the sky-high updo.

 

“Updos are so versatile,” says Eric Del Monaco, hairstylist for L’Oreal Paris. “They can be perfect for day to achieve a polished look for the office, or ideal for a sexy evening look for a night on the town.”

Don’t be wary when it comes to doing an updo yourself — with a few simple products and tips, you can easily create a runway-inspired ‘do for summer. “A pony tail is one of the easiest updos to achieve and most of the other classic updos start with a ponytail including this season’s stylish buns, chignons, etc.,” explains Eric.

Here are Eric’s tips on how to easily recreate this Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 look:

• Apply mousse to damp hair and blow dry it to give it a bit of lift and texture.

• Pull hair back from the face and gather in a high ponytail at the top of the head and fasten with a hair tie.

• Twist the ponytail loosely – and, I mean very loosely, as we want some texture – around the hair tie to create a ‘messy bun’ on top of the head and fasten with hair pins to hold style in place.

• Finish with hair spray.

Product recommendations: L’Oreal Paris Studio Line Indestructible Mousse and Elnett Hairspray.

Pro-tip: Use a small amount of mousse (roughly a dime-size amount for medium-length hair, a loonie-sized amount for long hair). Run the mousse through your hair from roots to tips for best results.

Technique tips: “It’s important to loosely tie the bun around the hair tie in order to achieve a good size bun and to give it texture,” explains Eric. “If you tie it tightly it will look too polished or structured.”

Day to night: To keep the look polished for day Eric suggests moving the bun down toward the back on the head so that it’s not sitting high on top of the head. “I would give it a bit more structure by wrapping it a bit tighter around the hair tie to achieve a more polished bun/look,” says Eric.

“To take this look into the evening, I would use my fingertips and a hairspray such as Elnett hairspray and lightly add a bit of rough texture to the bun so that it doesn’t look so polished to give it more of a sexy look.”

Release Date Set For Final Twilight Film!

The prophecies are true! The world will end in 2012.

…Okay, maybe not the entire world, but the Twilight Saga ends in 2012, which is pretty damn close to an apocalypse.

Summit Entertainment has set a release date for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 on Nov 16, 2012.

Part 1 of the ultra-epic Breaking Dawn will be released on Nov 11, 2011.

If you’re wondering what to do with yourself after Nov 16, 2012, we don’t have a straightforward answer.

All we can recommend is that you cross all crossable body parts and pray that Taylor Lautner makes his shirtless way into other movie franchises. X-Men: First Class, anyone?

RiRi Snores Here Way Through 6 Hour Flight – Loudly!

And people were pissed!

An American Airlines flight left Miami yesterday westbound for Los Angeles. One of the many passengers sitting in first class was Miz Rihanna, heading back home after some much needed fun times in South Beach. Sources had spotted her pAArtying it up after her concert at the Cameo nightclub until 4 a.m… and her plane was scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

Risky business there, RiRi?

Anyway, she was able to board the plane first with her bodyguard and by the time the plane was about to take off, Princess RiRi was snoozing. By the time they were in the air, she was SNORING… LOUD!

Needless to say, the 21 other first class passengers = not so happy!

Maybe next time try a Breathe-Right strip with your Ambien, girl!

Lohan at Neuropsychiatric Hospital

 learned Lindsay Lohan is being treated at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Hospital during her court ordered 90-day stay in rehab.

As TMZ first reported, Lindsay is being treated for both psychiatric and substance abuse issues.

There have been rumblings that she is being weaned off Adderall, but her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley tells TMZ, “The medical professionals at the treatment program are taking a fresh look at Lindsay Lohan and will evaluate which if any prescription drugs are appropriate or not. Under no circumstance is she being weaned off Adderall.”

As TMZ first reported, officials at Morningside Recovery — where the judge initially wanted Lindsay to go — documented that Lindsay would be treated for “methamphetamine” use and “bipolar disorder.”

Chapman Holley tells TMZ, “I am not aware of Morningside’s assessment, and as we know she is not at Morningside.”

Just days after announcing their engagement to the world — Bristol Palin claims she has officially broken things off with Levi Johnston after Levi told her that he may have knocked up another woman.

Bristol told People.com that Levi — father of their 19-month-old son Tripp — told her about his scumbaggary on the same day they announced their engagement … but that wasn’t the final straw.

Bristol claims she decided to pull the trigger on the relationship after Levi lied about a recent trip to L.A. … when he said he was traveling for a hunting show … and instead shot a music video mocking the Palin family.

As for Bristol’s mom — Sarah told People.com, “Bristol is strong, she is independent, and she knows what is right for her son.”

Lindsay Lohan — No Sharp Objects in Rehab

Good news and bad news for Lindsay Lohan — TMZ has learned the actress is definitely allowed to receive gifts during her stay at the UCLA rehab facility … but the bad news — no balloons!

According to employees at the UCLA Medical Center, patients in Lindsay’s building are not allowed to receive certain items from the gift shop that may be deemed unsafe … items like “balloons, breakables, and anything with sharp points.”

We’re told gift givers are encouraged to stick to “soft, cuddly things.”

But before you pick up that phone — you should probably know that your gifts will NOT get to Lindsay.

We’re told, “Lots of people are calling in trying to get [LiLo] gifts … but all of her information is restricted … so anything you try to buy will not get to her.”
