One of the newest trends in Hollywood is using a “root lifter” to give their hair extra volume and lift.  You may have seen stars such as Kim Kardashian and AnnaLynne McCord sporting BIG hair lately.

What exactly is a Root Lifter?

A root lifter is a styling aid that has a quicker drying time than most volumizers.  It is dispensed as a mousse or spray rather than a gel.  A gel is too heavy and will hold down the hair.

Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus:

Root Pump Plus is a humidity resistant, volumizing spray mousse.

What it does: Provides extra hold and humidity resistance, giving hair super volume that won’t fall flat and tons of shine.

Maximizes BIG volume and fullness
Provides firm hold to thick, heavy hair
Humidity resistant

Tips: Works on all hair types to create incredible volume. Apply to damp hair at the root and begin blow drying away from the scalp, using a vent brush or fingers. Apply to dry hair in areas where you want lift and texture. Use Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hairspray to lock in the look.

Joico Body Luxe Root Lift:

This unique volumizing and thickening line targets fine, limp hair by actually increasing the diameter of each hair fiber without added weight. Joico’s exclusive Oat Protein Complex contains hydrolyzed oat protein to thicken hair and oat amino acids to protect against damage.

Body Luxe Root Lift

Designed for: volumizing

Benefits:

This volume boosting spray with a directional-delivery system is applied at the roots to provide extra lift, volume, body and bounce that lasts throughout the day.

Creates substantial lift and support at the roots.
Leaves hair feeling natural, touchable and brushable.

Pravana Elevate Botanical Root Boost:

Elevate Botanical Root Boost gives flat hair a super lift with volume right where you want it! Elevate is fortified with jojoba and rosemary extracts that provide support and movement, while maintaining the body and fullness of the hair! Take your hair to new heights!

Enjoy Volumizing Mousse:  (our favorite!!!)

Non-Aerosol, Alcohol Free

Create volume, smoothness, shine and root lift. Define curl and texture without buildup or flaking.

Tip:

As a root volumizer, apply to base of hair shaft then proceed with style.

Lumenesse High Volume Root Lift (compare to Pureology RootLift)

This fast-drying styling spray strengthens the hair fiber for much fuller, thicker looking hair with tons of body. Built in colour protection shields from styling stress.

BENEFITS

Clean, fast-drying spray builds high volume and lift by strengthening and texturizing the hair fiber with age-defying peptides and botanicals

Provides super fade protection and leaves hair twice as full with beautiful manageability and style

We are proud to offer a new line by Kim Vo.  Kim Vo is a hair stylist to the stars.  You may have seen him on hit shows Extreme Makeover (ABC), The Daily 10 (E!) and his new hit show, Shear Genius (on Bravo).

About

Kim Vo started his hair styling career at “The Spot” in New York, which is a very upscale salon.  He then moved to Hollywood where he styled President Bill Clinton and then First Lady Hilary Clinton’s Hair.  Since then, he has opened his own salons “B2V” where his star clientele features such A-listers as Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson and Pamela Anderson.

Kim Vo saw the need to create his own line of hair care products that would match the expertise that he has developed over the years.  We are proud to offer this line to you.

Features

The line consists of 6 hair care products and 7 styling products.  Kim Vo blended Vietnamese Botanicals with the latest French Nanotechnology to develop his line.  The featured ingredients of each product are;

Boket:  A Vietnamese botanical.  Boket is the secret to beautiful hair in Asia. Also known as the Vietnamese Honey Locust Bean, it has an extremely high sugar content coupled with D-Pinitol, a super efficient sugar metabolizer.

ME-10:  ME-10 gives revolutionary color protection. Most bottles have 16 washes, but ME-10 preserves color for 20 washes, going beyond the bottle. Nanotechnology delivers innovative silicone into the hair cuticles, supplying moisture, repairing split ends and healing over-processed hair. Then it seals the cuticles firmly locking in nutrients, hydration and color.

All the ingredients are transferred to the hair on a cellular level through a cutting-edge delivery system.

CAPISPHERES, pioneered by the French beauty industry, are microspheres with a reparative complex of fatty acids, avocado oil and wheat flower lipids and deliver all the actives deep into the hair shaft. With a natural positive charge, they instantly bind to the negatively charged keratin of the hair shaft.

Kim Vo products are both sulfate and sodium chloride free and can be used on all color and keratin treated hair. Kim Vo products are also safe to use with all hair extensions.

Today, InStyle.com’s Daily Beauty Flash featured “Curved Bangs” as their look of the day.  The look is very similar to the blunt bangs that we featured a few weeks ago, but has a more of a curve at the bottom. 

DJ Quintero, a hairstylist at the Serge Normant for John Frieda Salon gives a great tip:

“Giving bangs a slight bend will help extend your look in between bang trims”

 We still recommend the Hai Elite Tong Ionic Flat Iron or the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Flat Iron.  Both have curved plates that can help create this smooth curvy bang  effect.

Snag a New Look Without Going Overboard

It seems like everyone’s been talking about Erin from MTV’s The City’s bangs! These long, straight bangs, or, “blunt bangs” as they are called in the fashion and beauty world are the newest runway and celebrity trend.  Major Hollywood celebrities like Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Leighton Meester have all been spotted sporting the new look.

Is This Hairstyle for You?

Blunt bangs are perfect for you if you want to add style and edge to a basic look, without making a huge, dramatic change. Celebrity hair stylist Nicholas Penna, Jr. says that while long bangs look best with straight, even hair, they can be rocked by almost anyone when done right!  Whether your hair is long, short, curly, or straight, blunt bangs are the this season’s most popular (and, surprisingly manageable) hairstyle.

Tips for Do it Yourself Gorgeous Bangs

1. Find a good pair of hair scissors. In a recent interview with Allure Magazine, celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend recommends hair shears instead of regular scissors because they have super thin blades, perfect for snipping away just precisely at the bangs.
2. With dry hair, gently pull down on the front section that you want to be bangs and hold them with your thumb pointing upright.  (Be careful not to pull too tight – your hair will naturally spring up a little!)
3. Start off slow. Snip away tiny pieces at first and see how you like it.  You can always snip more, but you can never snip less!
4. Leave the layers around your temples slightly longer than the rest of the hair for a natural looking shape.

Hair Products and Tools to Perfect the Look

• For fine hair, add in a tiny dab of volumizer.
• For frizzy hair, spray hair spray on an eyebrow brush and gently comb the bangs. (Kenra Volume Spray has been our number one selling product for weeks!)
• Townsend also recommends using the Hai Elite Tong Ionic Flat Iron. It’s the perfect iron because it curves a bit and, “Your bangs get a nice bend, rather than lying totally flat as they would with a normal iron.”
• A similar, slightly more affordable flat iron is the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Flat Iron, which also has the curved plate for the bend effect.

The best part about bangs, if you don’t like them, they will always grow back! Bella Sugar gives some great tips on how to grow out your bangs.  But because we love this hairstyle so much, we have a feeling you won’t need them!
