New York Fashion Week Spring 2013: Get the Look—Alexander Wang Runway Hair with Redken

Redken Creative Consultant Guido, always looking to put a new spin on the ponytail, created a futuristic, modern interpretation of one at the on runway with from Alexander Wang. The style was sleek and even robotic in front, but the back was all natural, disheveled texture with a bit of a wave. "I'm always challenging myself to update classics, and the look at Alexander Wang today is a ponytail with a different point of view. Alex wanted a small head this season, so this started as a low pony kept close to the head. But I then added a strip of tape down the center part which makes the style really become more than a simply pony. The severity of the tape almost makes you look twice – which makes sense with the collection." -Guido, Redken Creative Consultant Redken Products: -NEW Satinwear 02 prepping blow-dry lotion -Fashion Work 12 versatile working spray Create the Look: On damp hair, create a center part that's clean but not perfectly straight.

Create a low pony at the nape of the neck keeping the hair tight to the head. Using a curling iron like the Sultra Bombshell Cone, create a slight bend to the hair in the pony. Adhere tape to the center part, running about an inch down the center of the forehead.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York is over, but we are still enthralled with the beautiful hair and makeup looks for Spring/Summer 2015 that we saw backstage. Dewy skin, with barely there makeup was the front-runner among most designers as the makeup of choice.

Spring Cleaning: Top 10 Cleansers for Oily & Combination Skin

Oily to combination skin have special needs when it comes to skin care. Characterized by large pores, excessively oily skin has an abundance of oil produced in the pore and needs balancing. Although the sebum or oil that is secreted from the pores is necessary to maintain a healthy barrier on the skin, excessive oil production can cause enlarged pores, and breakouts for those prone to acne. Many who suffer from oily and combination skin think that constant cleansing is the key to keeping the oil at bay on the surface of their skin. However, stripping the skin of all its oil causes the pores to produce more oil and your skin in caught in a cycle of repetitive oil production. The key for cleansing oily and combination skin is to use a cleanser that gently cleanses, without removing every trace of oil from your skin. So look for a cleanser that balances and unclogs pores.

Trending: Spring Cleaning…And We Don’t Mean Your Baseboards

When you think of “Spring Cleaning,” what pops into your mind? Wearing rubber gloves and pushing a mop to buff your wooden floors to their glowing best? Do you see yourself hunched over on hands and knees scrubbing baseboards? Are you doing a little touch-up painting here and there? Maybe you love the adrenaline rush from spraying the heck out of your windows with a power-wash? Or perhaps you change up the scenery in your home by rearranging furniture, replacing pillow covers and adding fresh flowers. We all know that this is the time of the year for organizing your “stuff.” Maybe it’s time to repurpose or recycle some of that “stuff”… For those of us who are beauty obsessed, the term “Spring Cleaning” brings a different set of rituals to mind. Rather than stripping floors, why not peel away layers of winter skin with a super-charged exfoliant to reveal glowing skin? How are your hands and knees looking, by the way? Do they need a little TLC as well? It’s probably time to give those often-neglected body parts that work overtime some much-needed attention. When you look in the mirror, are you looking a little pale? Have you lost your summer vibrancy? It’s probably time for a little touch up of body glow, bronzer or a self-tanner.

Check out a home microdermabrasion system, or a power-charged facial cleansing tool! The needs of our skin change with the seasons, so now is the time to rearrange your skin care priorities.

Does your skin need buffing? Firming? Lifting? Spring is the time to get your exfoliation going and keep it glowing with body creams, lotions and oils. Has your hair lost its glow? It probably needs a serious deep conditioning and fresh styling products that add luster and shine to your winter-weary tresses. Spring also dictates that we replace our deep makeup color with fresh pops of color. Reorganize your makeup so that you are in touch with the floral trend of the season. This season, it’s all about Tangerine according to Pantone, so take the time to go through your beauty stash. Maybe you have an orange lipstick that you have been afraid to try.
