Have you seen Hayden Panettiere’s do short ‘do? She showed up yesterday to the Global Home Tree Earth Day reception hosted by Director James Cameron in Los Angeles with an all new cropped hairdo.
This celebrity looks like she has gone from young Hollywood to A-list overnight! While we loved her long locks, her new chopped, slicked back is ultra-chic.
You know that feeling you get when you wear a brand new, sexy little dress, for a night on the town? That “I must look like a million bucks” feeling? Well, that’s how I felt the other night….and guess what! I wasn’t wearing a new dress.
I was wearing one of L. Erickson’s new pieces from the Palm Beach collection from FranceLuxe.com. In particular, the Sunburst Barrette. Let me start by saying this is one of the most beautiful hair accessories I’ve ever seen, and it is truly a statement piece. I can’t even tell you how many compliments I received from both men and women. It features a dazzling combination of floral design, bright happy colors, and matching crystals on a gold metal barrette. Perfect for big thick hair, I was out dancing all night and it barely moved. Plus, you know how barrettes can be really hard to close? I had no problems with the clasp at all.
The Sunburst Barrette is just one of many stunning pieces in L. Erickson’s Palm Beach Collection…
These Mini Jaws are great to hold back small portions of hair…and cover up a bad hair day! Adorable brightly colored butterfly, dotted with crystals, sits on top of a mini six pronged clip. Need a stronger hold? These Double Pinch Jaws will do the trick.
And then for a more elegant look, there’s the Palm Beach Long and Skinny Barrette. You’ll truly be amazed by how much hair this barrette can hold back. You can do so much with this hair piece – for thin hair, use it to secure a french twist, and for thick hair, part hair on the side and pull back your front shorter layers. You can wear this piece during the day for a girls brunch, at night on a hot date or for a special event.
All of the hair accessories in the Palm Beach Collection come in the same colors – Pink, Aqua and Lime Green. Whether you have really dark or light hair, these hair pieces pop and won’t go unnoticed. So listen…don’t spend $100 on a new outfit! Instead, try one of these beautiful crystal hair pieces. The SunBurst Barrette is only $34, and it’s all you need to jazz up a simple dress.

Meet Nikisha Williams! She’s PGH’s new Blogger and will be covering all things related to African-American hair. Read her personal hair story below…
Where do I begin with my personal hair story? I think every black woman has about the same one, most which go like this: I wore ponytails as a child, my mom permed my hair right before I became a pre-teen, and then my hair and I lived happily ever after, the end! That’s about the gist of my story until in September of 2009, I decided to let my natural hair grow out — after more than 15 years of having chemically-straight, trips to the salon every week, easy to manage, but don’t ever get wet, sit under the dryer for at least one hour hair! Don’t get me wrong, I loved my hair. . . I’ve always loved it. But believe it or not, I love my hair even more natural than I did when it was permed — well, that is for now. I cut my hair short (as in an Angela Davis afro) in April of 2010. And so now, I am on a journey to discover my natural. . .Premium Grade Hair!

What’s Kristin Cavallari’s preferred brand of hair products? Celebrity Style Guide is reporting that it’s Kerastase, specifically their Reflection Bain Miroir and Chroma Chroma Reflect Masque. Both of these products were voted “Best Buy” in 2007 by InStyle Magazine. If you have color-treated hair, try giving Kerastase a chance to prevent breakage and fading.
We find this a little odd for a movie star, but it totally makes sense.

Katherine Heigl has vowed never to dye her hair again for a movie and instead says she will only wear wigs. Her reasoning? The harsh chemicals are ruining her lovely locks. Not to mention, too much time gone to waste in salons.
She explains, “I did it about a month ago… I’m supposed to have dark hair (for One for the Money) and recently discovered the beauty and the wonder of a really well-done wig.”
“I did have to go back to blonde for poster shoots for a film I have coming out this summer (Killers), and the wigs are so fantastic I thought from now on I should just wear wigs. It takes half the time.”
When talking about her new brunette ‘do to Access Hollywood she says,“I’m really enjoying it.” “There’s something about it that feels more sophisticated. I feel like a lady. The blonde made me feel more giggly. It’s very odd.”

I recently picked up a pack of Goody’s Stay-Put Head Wraps to use for running. Right now my hair is several different lengths, so pulling my mane back in a ponytail isn’t the easiest task.
These head wraps do exactly what they promise -keep hair put. They’re great for running or any kind of workout when you just don’t want to deal with your hair falling in your face.
Best part is that they’re really cheap, so you can lose one or two and not feel so bad. I like to keep one in my car and one in my gym bag. Now you have no excuse for skipping the gym…just kidding!
Modern Family is one of my favorite shows on TV right now. Being the hair-obsessed blogger that I am, I admit that I have taken notice of how perfect Sarah Hyland’s (Haley Dunphy on the show) hair always is.
In a recent interview with Pop Eater, Sarah explains…
“I call that ‘Disney hair.’ They just curl it and then you put your fingers through it … It looks like everyone on Disney.”
What a perfect description! Read more here.
