Bumble and Bumble has amazing hair powder that is colored! Now, let’s think beyond the realm of “freshening up” weighed down hair and open up to the possibilities of these fantastic sprays.

Not only can you hide your roots before your next appointment or de-grease your hair and add volume, but you can add pazzazz. Ever wonder what you would look like with a white, brown, black, blonde or red panel? Want to conjure up your inner rock star without the commitment? Well, now you can see what it’s like. Separate out the section you want to color. Put a sheet of paper under it to cover rest of your hair and spray. If you have a shaved head or undercut, cut out stencils and spray. Diagonal lines that contour your head shape, polka dots, triangles, it’s endless really.

It’s hot. It’s non-commital. It’s fun and practical. The aerosol can is programmed to release the dry shampoo ingredients before the color. You need to really push all the way down in order for the color to enter the spray stream. Don’t be scurred.

Special THANKS and SHOUT-OUT to Leigh Ann Boutwell!! Leigh Ann just tipped me off on a beauty store that ALWAYS has this fabulous and authentic Parisienne hair spray. It is on La Peer and Olympic and simply called La Peer Beauty. That is just fantastic since Beauty Collection has sold out of their inventory.

This spray is kept behind the counter. Thankfully, there is no secret password that we need to be privy to…yet… Leigh Ann, I’ll miss you here in L.A., but I’ll love visiting you in NYC!!

The Times said the runway shows have deemed slick hair as the look for Fall 2010 and gave a quick ‘how-to.’ Seems as though anything goes these days as long as its “retro” and looks like you put some time and effort into it.

I think the keyword here is “effort” and the men are trying to keep up with the ladies. Girls, you have been bumpin’ it and curlin’ it for a minute now and our disheveled guys want to match the swagger from time to time.

Gentlemen, pull those combs out of your back pockets and slop on the good stuff: Cool Grease.

Cool Grease has been around for awhile and is so much better for your hair than Murphy’s. This awesome hair product is made in Japan, water-soluble, can be used with heat and protects your hair from UV rays. It has the consistency of a gel-like pomade and gives it that shiny rockabilly finish.

The Cool Grease Blue is the original formula and has a normal hold.

The Cool Grease Red has medium hold.

The Cool Grease XX Max-Hard (Black)
is a super duper hold.

Applying it to towel-dried hair would be the best way to work in the product. Depending on how big or stylized you want your quiff or pomp to be, you can let it airdry or use a hairdryer to set the look higher and give it structure. Use a comb to help you shape.

When washing your hair, apply shampoo before water and rub it through. This little “dry shampoo trick” will help you get out the water-soluble product out even faster!

OMG!!! If you’ve seen me recently, then you know how obsessed I am with this spray. L’OREAL PARIS ELNETT SATIN HAIR SPRAY is the BEST hairspray ever!!! Bumble and Bumble is good, but this is the coveted brand of professionals who work on set for photoshoots, film and TV.

Why you say? Because it gives beautiful shine and fantastic hold and YOU, my friends, are lucky because BEAUTY COLLECTION sells the Parisian version that is almost impossible to get. It’s the Diamond Hold!! I usually have to wait for my fab hair stylist friend Carlos to bring it back from Europe and now it’s a mouse click away!

Treat yourself to the hairspray of the stars. Who knows how long this limited edition stock will run, but grab it now!!!
