BellaSugar — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 19:33:45 PST

For Mila Kunis's Golden Globes look, Lancôme makeup artist Tracey Levy created a pretty palette to complement her emerald green dress.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, How Do You Grow That Hair?

BellaSugar — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 13:00:00 PST

Rapunzel (as in a very convincing actress portraying the long-haired character) and her prince recently went to see the LA Kings play against the Columbus Blue Jackets before next week's big release of Tangled. Growing super-long hair requires a lot of maintenance, patience, and time - which Rapunzel had a lot of when she was locked in the tower. If your current beauty goal is to grow long, healthy strands like the flaxen-haired heroine, take a peek at some items (both in the hair care and just-for-fun categories) we think would get her stamp of approval:

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 07:00:00 PDT

Naomi Watts recently set off a mini-furor with her new blunt haircut. And if the looks on the runway are to be believed, they'll be one of the big hair trends for the upcoming season. But going blunt can be scary - especially if you have traumatic memories of grungy, stringy styles from the early '90s. So how can you wear the trend and look both pretty and modern? We pulled five of the most flattering interpretations of the look, using the runway for inspiration.

If Matte Beach Sprays Aren't Your Thing, Try a Spray Wax Instead

BellaSugar — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 08:01:20 PDT

Beachy waves are typically achieved by using some kind of mattifying product, like Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray ($22). Recently, I became reacquainted with a spray wax styling product, and I'd forgotten how easy they are to use. Just like their matte counterparts, these spray waxes provide that laid-back choppy look, but with a slightly shiny finish. Best of all, they're lightweight.

Try Enjoy Texture Spray ($16) or Sally Hershberger's Genius Spray Wax ($12.50), both of which provide hold and texture to all hair types and lengths. Of her product, Sally says, "It's really about having the next-day sexy/messy look, with out looking all dry and greasy." To find out six different ways you can use this multifunctional product, just read more.

Would You Visit a Long Hair Specialty Salon?

BellaSugar — Thu, 06 May 2010 09:00:45 PDT

If you're a fan of the princess hair look, a salon in Ohio might be right up your alley. The Enchantress Long Hair Salon in Olmsted Falls caters specifically to women with seriously long hair.

The owners say that long hair presents a unique set of issues when it comes to care, styling, and maintenance, and use different cutting and brushing techniques on their clients than you'd find at a more traditional salon. A trim alone, for example, can take an hour, and they cut dry instead of on wet hair. The salon also takes regular, shorter-haired clients and people who're growing their hair out, so it's not as small a clientele as one would imagine. If you were growing your hair out, do you think you'd visit a salon just for long hair?

Start Your Week Off With Hair-Raising Styles

BellaSugar — Mon, 03 May 2010 07:00:42 PDT

Hair ware is all the rage these days. We've seen hairy hair accessories, hair furniture, and hair clothing over the past few months.

The newest entry into the category is this series called Crazy Hair by CuldeSac and Studio Marisol, which features some of the most extreme uses of human hair I've ever seen. The only thing that comes close to the Cul De Sac/Marisol collaboration is a fashion show from last year, where stylist Charlie Le Mindu created some similarly wild hair looks.

Bella Quiz: What Does Your Hair Say About You?

BellaSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:00:26 PDT

From a biological perspective, hair is like a little diary giving clues about your personality, from where you live to what you smoke to what you tend to eat. But from a social perspective, hair can give clues about you in a whole other way. It might be stereotyping, but it is human nature for people to form impressions about other people within mere seconds. "Hair and identity are inseparable - whether you're consciously making a statement or not, your hairstyle does express something about you," anthropology professor David Coplan of Wits University in South Africa told True Love magazine. When it comes to hair, can you guess what general impressions people make based on the length and appearance of other women's hair? You be the judge.

Trend Alert: New Year, Long Waves

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:00:22 PST

OK, I know it's nothing all that earth-shattering since long waves have been in fashion long before the Farrah Fawcett days. But this New Year's Eve, it was all about the soft cascading curl. Whether it was a more-refined look like Ashlee Simpson and Eva Longoria Parker or tousled and undone à la Molly Sims and Chloë Sevigny, the look was still sexy - and a little more inspired than pin-straight locks. Want some loose waves? Keep a large-barreled (at least one inch or larger) curling iron open and wrap your hair around the barrel for a few seconds and release. Is this the iconic hairstyle of the 2000s? We have one more year to find out, but I'm betting yes.

Rodarte Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:35:12 PST

Leave it to Kate and Laura Mulleavy to not only draw a star-studded front row - hello, George Lucas, Natalie Portman, and Dakota Fanning - but to deliver a stellar, 1940s-inspired Fall '12 collection too. One part cave-drawing-infused, one part retro femme, and one part Australian outback-reminiscent, Rodarte showcased a beautiful mix of totally girlie pieces with both red-carpet appeal and wearable ladylike style. The sister duo paid close attention to feminine details á la Peter Pan collars, artfully structured ruffles, and metal star appliqué hair combs. Yet, never ones to shy away from throwing some quirk into the picture, they added literal hand prints to long, flowy evening gowns and added cowboy buckles to double-strap leather belts. The biggest covet-worthy takeaway from today's show? After several seasons of collaborating with key show designers like Nicholas Kirkwood and Christian Louboutin, the Mulleavy sisters debuted their first-ever in-house shoe collection. We're calling it: Rodarte's two-tone pumps with heels made of plexiglass, sexy dominatrix-inspired spat heels, and lace-up boots will be Fall '12 It girl items. All in all, it's a gorgeous autumnal lineup, just begging to be worn.

Trends: Cropped cable-knit sweaters, hand-print chiffon dresses, and 1940s-inspired silhouettes.
Colors: Warm, earthy tones like rust and terracotta juxtaposed against cool neutrals.
Key Piece: Super-cute chunky cable-knit sweaters paired with terracotta-hued trousers; diaphanous hand-print chiffon dresses.
Accessories: Ladylike round-toe pumps with heels made of plexiglass or filled with sand, sexy lace-up gladiator-inspired spat heels. Look out for the subtleties in each heel design.
Who Would Wear It: Front-row attendees Natalie Portman and Dakota Fanning are high up on the list, but we think a plethora of A-list talent will be clamoring to wear this collection. Don't be surprised to see Taylor Swift, Alexa Chung, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning flaunting Rodarte's wares, too.
