NYFW: The Hair from Monique Lhuillier.

At the Monique Lhuillier show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week #NYFW, the hair was beautiful. Lead by Eugene Souleiman for ghd, his inspiration was the dry, crisp fabrics, straw braiding techniques, basket patterns and wave prints that evoke thoughts of tropical vacations entrenched in relaxation, glamour and luxury.

Since this girl is all about heading from the beach to cocktails at sunset, an easy, relaxed chignon was the perfect compliment to the summer-inspired collection.

First, the ghd IV styler was used to straighten the hair. Then, ghd sea spray was applied around the roots and blown out with a diffuser to create a texture-laden base. Next, the model’s hair was finger brushed away from the face, gathered into a pony and half-twisted up. Then, the hair was twisted back around and secured into place, leaving the ends loose. To create a wind-swept look, Eugene and the Directive Team applied ghd sea spray to their hands and lightly roughed up the sides and front of the hair with their palms. Finally, a fine mist of ghd ultimate hairspray was applied to ensure that the look stayed put… The result? Summer-inspired perfection!

A Natural Volumizing Recipe for Thinning Hair from Kiehl's.

The Ultimate Thickening Shampoo from Kiehl's is just what this girl totally needs.

I hate that my hair is thinning and that when I look at my Mother and how thin her hair has become - I really begin to worry. I am taking a stand to do what I can now. I want it nourished and do what I can to keep it looking as thick and healthy as possible. And thin as it may be, not too thin where I don't want it to be ten+ years from now. Enter this superb shampoo that is taking a permanent place on my shampoo shelf.

The formulation of this new addition to the Kiehl's line of fabulous hair care products, relies upon the benefits of an antioxidant-enriched formula. The formula is infused with a blend of thickening polymers (to help it stick) and an Omega-6 essential fatty acid to help fortify and texturize thinning hair. What I love about it is that my hair looks immediately thicker - without being weighed down. It smells divine, like a light refreshing mint, which I totally need for a pick me up in the morning too.

The only thing missing is the conditioner. I am very weird like that. I usually pair up a shampoo and conditioner that work together, unless I am adding a deep conditioner to the routine. I'll be waiting, Kiehl's.
