Lauren Conrad Used Pink Chalk to Dye Her Hair

Jan 24, 2012 @ 1:30 pm

This weekend, Lauren Conrad Tweeted a picture of her new pink strands—and we got the inside scoop on how she created it! “We used chalk!” her colorist Kristin Ess told us exclusively. “It’s a super-fun way to temporarily color your ends because it washes right out. But it’s best when worn in a bun because it will get on your clothes.” Ess also told us that she and Conrad will be posting a full how-to on their site thebeautydepartment.com tomorrow. And this isn’t the first time Conrad tried color: she previously worked peach tips and blue highlights. (The latter look has been tried on over 100,000 times in our virtual Hollywood Makeover Tool since she got them in September!) Tell us: Do you like her new hue?

Kate Winslet’s Golden Hat Foundation and Lancôme Makeup Collection

Dec 12, 2011 @ 2:39 pm

Oscar-winning actress and Lancôme ambassador Kate Winslet teamed-up with the cosmetic brand to create a special three-product line to benefit her new Golden Hat Foundation. After seeing an Icelandic documentary about autism, Winslet was moved to start the the charity to better the lives of children living with the disorder. (The hat concept was inspired by a poem written by a child who has autism.) “I walked away from the experience unable to let it go,” she told InStyle exclusively. But creating the charity was just a start. She’s also supporting it with her work. This April, Winslet will publish The Golden Hat: Talking Back to Autism ($20, amazon.com), a series of celebrity self-portraits and inspirational words. And this holiday season, she collaborated on Lancôme’s Golden Hat collection, which directly benefits the charity. “I took the idea to Lancôme and they said, ‘Let’s absolutely do it,’” Winslet said. “They’re very passionate about the charities they support.” Click “See the Photos” to check-out the gorgeous pieces and hear what Winslet loves about each one.

Hollywood Haircut Trend: Long, Airy Bangs!

After experimenting with a clip-on version almost a year ago, Taylor Swift became the latest celebrity to adopt one of the hottest haircuts right now—long, airy bangs! This morning she Tweeted the photo above, and joined the ranks of recent bang-adoptors Rachel Weisz, Julianne Moore and Leighton Meester. Unlike thicker, blunter versions which are all one length, this piecey fringe works best when it’s shortest in the middle of the forehead and longer towards the outer edges. Plus, since they’re lightweight, they’re easy to grow out. Are you thinking about trying bangs? Find the right bangs for your face shape in the gallery!

Holiday Hairstyle Idea: Audrey Hepburn Updos

Nov 30, 2011 @ 4:50 pm

Audrey Hepburn’s classic elegance will never go out of style—especially in the hair department. Take the looks Olivia Palermo, Emma Stone, Blake Lively and Salma Hayek recently wore on red carpet for example. All have exaggerated, bumped-up volume along the crown, allowing their flawless complexions and detailed dresses to take centerstage. To experiment with a similar look, fully tease the hair along the curve of head with a rattail comb, then sweep the strands in front up and over the texturized clump. (A generous blast of hairspray will keep these gravity-defying looks from falling flat!) For more of our favorite holiday hairstyle ideas, click through the gallery.
