Sandra Bullock Hairstyle and Makeup How To

Sandra Bullock Hairstyle and Makeup How To. Sandra wore a gorgeous purple dress to the Golden Globes, paired with deep waves, and a sultry peachy lip. Look below to see how you can get her look.

“When I walked into Sandra’s room, I saw that she was in an incredibly relaxed, happy and free spirited mood.  I wanted her makeup to reflect her serene state of mind!” — Angela Levin, Makeup Artist

“I prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Cream. Her eyes were a mixture of CHANEL shadows – Silky Eyeshadow Duo in Orient-Express, and Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Trace.  I then lined the eyes with CHANEL Long Lasting Eyeliner in Violine, a deep, soft purple shade.  On her cheeks, I used CHANEL Tweed Blush Duo in Tweed Rose.  Finally, on her lips she wore CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Beige Felin.  — Angela Levin, Makeup Artist

For Frederic Fekkai, Adir Abergel’s inspiration for Sandra was a modernized 1930’s look with deep waves and interesting lines.

Adir Abergel started by parting the hair on an angle. He then blow-dried the hair adding FEKKAI COIFF™ Perfecteur Anti-Frizz Silkening Crème to create a smooth, frizz-free texture. Then with a 1” curling iron he curled the hair away from the face. Next, he created a foundation for the do by backcombing the bottom layers of the hair and tucking the hair under with pins. After, he applied a pinch of FEKKAI COIFF™ NONCHALANT PIECING & FORMING WAX to separate the pieces of hair as well as adding shine. Abergel then tucked the hair under creating an asymmetrical bob- with a modern twist. To finish the look, Abergel pinned the first part of the hair tightly, let a few pieces hang and pinned the rest back very loosely. Finally, he secured the look by adding FEKKAI COIFF™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.

Simple Everyday Haircare Tips

Simple Everyday Haircare Tips. Taking care of your hair can be a big process but it can also be fun and easier than you may think. There are so many products that you can use around the house that are natural and good for the earth. Look below for easy haircare tips you can use everyday.

How to Get Curls and Texture Without Styling Tools

For long hair, follow these steps:

* After shampooing spray your entire head with the David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray scrunch and/or twist sections then allow to air dry.
* Once dry, if added texture or volume is desired flip your head over and back, give it a quick shake.
* To set it all in place, lightly spray your hair with hair spray.

For short hair, follow these steps:

* Towel dry freshly washed hair thoroughly to begin the foundation.
* Spray your entire head with a Beach Spray and allow to air dry.
* When hair is dry apply some David Babaii for WildAid Molding Paste and arrange texture until you are happy with the look.

How To Keep You Hair Fresh Without Shampoo

In order to avoid excess oil or buildup (and save on water use), use a bit of baby powder throughout the hair acting as a dry shampoo, which helps eliminate oil and leaves a fresh scent throughout the day. Alternatively, you can use a cosmetic damp cotton pad and dab it around the hairline and roots to eliminate any excess oil. If you wish, mist the pad with a light oil free fragrance or squeeze a few drops from a fresh lemon to give hair that fresh smell

Find out how you can wash your hair the night before and wake up with a great hairstyle, style for stick-straight hair, and what household products you can incorporate into your beautifying process.
How To Wash Your Hair the Night Before and Wake Up With Style

* Wash your hair the night before to save time and electricity
* When hair is slightly damp, create multiple sections and braid your hair tying the ends with an elastic band (depending on how much texture you want, make the braids loose (less texture) or tight (more texture)) *the braids do not need to be very precise
* Next, spray the braids with David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray and go to sleep
* When you wake up, undo the braids, give your head a little shake, and add in some additional Bohemian Beach Spray to achieve desired texture and volume - this creates a great Bohemian Look.

or…

* Place all of your hair in a messy ponytail - be creative and twist sections tight or loose to achieve various textures
* When your pony tail is secured, spray with a Beach Spray and sweet dreams
* When you awake, undo the pony tail for an effortless but eco-chic look

How To Create Style for Stick Straight Hair

For super straight hair, it’s is all about using fun accessories. Play around with different head bands, hair pins, and clips to achieve a fun and playful look. Alternatively, you can tie your hair in a sleek low pony tail.

* After tying it up, take small strands of hair and pin them on top of and underneath the pony tail to achieve the illusion of having volume for those with super straight hair.
* You can also try my favorite half up style:
* Section off the sides and top while leaving the back of your hair down.
* Secure the top and sides with an accessory or simple bobby pins.
* Allow a few pieces of hair to fall naturally to give you a soft natural look.

How To Use Items Around the House to Achieve Glam

A new and un-used toothbrush is a great household product; it can be used to back brush close to the scalp area for volume or even sweep away those fly-a-ways. Going back in time, an old soda pop can still do the trick of setting hair and achieving large lopped curls.

Other ideas are to use household rubber bands for your messy ponytails or braids. And, don’t discard those dryer sheets. There is usually some fragrance left over to wipe your combs and brushes to not only freshen them but help with static as well.

Finally, use ribbons, scarves and other items you have lying around (or even ones that wrapped a gift!) to add some jazz to your ‘do. A ribbon can make a regular ponytail flirty and a scarf can make just about any look more eco-chic. This all helps to reduce the amount of household waste and makes for a great environmentally friendly choice for DIY hair.

At Home Remedies

Almond oil helps to nourish hair from the inside and add shine to the outside. Try an all natural hair masque by massaging almond oil into wet hair, from the roots to the ends. Cover with a shower cap for 15-30 minutes. Shampoo twice with a clarifying shampoo and do not condition. Finish with a blow dry and the result? Gorgeous shiny and smooth hair. Repeat this process once every two weeks to work with hair’s natural oils to add health and shine.

Brewed chamomile buds are a great natural tone booster for warm blondes. Brew about 3-4 chamomile tea bags in your tea kettle, let seep for twenty minutes, and let cool down. Pour into a water bottle (recycled of course!) and keep in the shower. After shampooing and conditioning, rinse clean hair with a few squirts of the chamomile bath to add warm tones and shine to warm blonde hair. Repeat once a week for an at- home natural color remedy!
