Mason Pearson Junior Brush, $126 A hairstylist’s best friend, these nylon-and-boar bristles make blowouts a breeze.

Pam Kelly, National Director of Technical Salon Services for Fantastic Sams Hair Salons, gave us some tips on what is going to be Holiday Hair Hot this season:

The use of braids woven into the hair will be very popular at holiday parties as well as jeweled headbands and barrettes.

Celebrity styles, as always, will be requested during the busy holiday season.

Up do and special occasion hair will be either sleek and pulled back with the focus on the back/nape area, or soft and tousled, rather than a structured look.

Deep sweeping side part bangs and full front fringes will be popular on most haircuts.

Haircuts will include soft layering.

Soft waves will play a big part.

Twi-hards are upon us. In lieu of this Friday’s opening date, it will be hard to turn your head without seeing some form of New Moon mania. 

The gang has been making their worldwide rounds promoting their new film and I can’t imagine how hard it has to be maintaining red-carpet ready hair at all times. Kristen Stewart seems to be doing a good job at this. She was wearing her normally super short locks in a longer way for Monday night’s big premiere in LA.

I personally love her no matter what she does because she isn’t afraid to take risks and she has a pretty nonchalant attitude about what people think of her. Self confidence is always sexy.

Bellasugar.com has 5 easy steps to help you recreate this look. Click here for the full story. 

P.S. I’m on Team Edward!

A new ‘do for a new job! Ashlee Simpson traded auburn for black for her new role on Broadway playing Roxie Hart in Chicago. Her long fringe bangs are very in style; however, looks like Ashlee could use a little trim. Her bangs would drive me crazy!

I’ll be at the Catalina Hotel on South Beach this Thursday night reporting for Shecky’s at their Miami Girls Night Out! I promise to bring you in-depth coverage on not just the swanky fashions and tasty cocktails, but all the fall-fabulous beauty treatments too. This is the ultimate event to attend with your girlfriends, right next to the Sex and the City 2 movie premiere. Up to 50 fabulous event participants are traveling to Miami for this event,  so you expect some amazing finds! If you want to attend, tickets are still available here. See ya on SoBe!

For the past two days, my curls have been softer and more defined than ever before thanks to this new product I am testing – Wen’s Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner. Seriously, when the bottle runs out, I may just cry (it’s a little pricey but totally worth it).

Developed by celebrity hairstylist Chaz Dean, Wen is both a cleanser and a conditioner in one. But please don’t compare it to your dad’s 2-in-1 Pert Plus. Wen is made with a balance of herbs and natural ingredients and avoids damaging detergents usually found in shampoos — so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils.

You can add my name to the long list of Wen fans, which hails celebrities like Jennie Garth, Finola Hughes and Melissa Gilbert. Even Shecky’s awarded Wen the coveted“Beauty at Its Best Award” for Best Shampoo and Conditioner. One less step in the shower for better looking, more touchable hair? It’s a no-brainer.

Attention, attention! Fekkai’s Golden Shimmer Gelee Mist gets our vote for ’09 Holiday Hair Must-Have! Take hair from everyday to holiday with this limited edition, lightweight spray gel. Golden micro-diamond particles provide subtle shimmer and shine with soft, touchable hold.  If you want sparkle and shine this holiday season, you have to check out this product!

This just came through my inbox and it looks like a great holiday gift! For $24.99 this Ted Gibson Holiday Set includes Daily Cleanse Shampoo, Daily Cleanse Conditioner, Beautiful Hold hairspray and Hairsheet Styling sheets. Plus everything is travel size and carry-on friendly. Perfect for the diva jet-setter in your life. Pick it up at your local target store or target.com.
