Claire Dane's Style by John Frieda

Hey everyone!

Celebrity hairstylist Peter Butler created Claire Danes’ look for the Golden Globes in Los Angeles. Taking inspiration from the Homeland actress’ red-hot Versace gown, Butler gave Claire sexy, loose waves, likening her to a modern-day Jessica Rabbit. 

~Step 1 – Prep

Blowdry hair with a large, round, boar bristle brush. Take a curling iron with a 1 1/2 inch barrel and start curling hair section by section. Set the curls with Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hairspray ($5.99 at drugstores).

~Step 2 – Style

To create the perfect wave, use a paddle brush to brush through curls. Apply Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Crème ($5.99 at drugstores) throughout the hair--it will soften hair and add shine while leaving the curls chunky and intact.

~Step 3 – Perfect

Finish by adding a fine mist of Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray to lock in the style.

Frizz-Free Looks for Labor Day‏

Hey everyone!

As Labor Day fast approaches, it’s not only time to think about how you’ll be spending your last days of summer, but also what you’ll be wearing and how to do your hair.  Below are a few easy style recommendations from Harry Josh, John Frieda International Creative Consultant.

TOP KNOT

A top knot is not only a great style for the summer, but it will also help you to stay cool.

Start by applying John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Thickening Mousse to damp hair and blow dry.  Once dry, gather all of your hair high on top of your head; then wrap your hair around itself completely into a bun and tuck the ends underneath the bun.  Use hair pins to secure your hair so that they disappear under the bun locking underneath creating a little fortress so that it doesn’t move around.  If you have thick hair, the pins may not hold as well, so you can use an elastic.  The elastic can then be disguised by wrapping the hair around it.  Finish by spraying your hair with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm‑Hold Hair Spray.

FISHTAIL BRAID

A fantastic look for the beach.

Begin by bringing your hair together against your actual side part to create dramatic lift.  If your hair parts in the center you can go to either side and if you have a side part, bring your hair to the opposite side.  Grab and secure your hair and start to do a basic braid down one side and secure with an elastic band.  Then ruffle and pull it apart with your fingers, letting a few pieces fall out, including long bangs, so that it looks casual and undone.

BEACH WAVES

Messy beach waves are the ultimate style for summer hair.

Begin by applying John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum to wet hair.  Not only will this help fight frizz, but it will protect your hair from UV rays.  The next thing you need to get this look is mousse – it’s light, weightless, and gives you hold.  Apply it to towel-dried hair—this will help create texture while you’re blow drying.  Once dry, curl hair in sections using a curling iron, but make sure to hold the iron vertically and wrap hair around it (like a tinsel).  Finish by brushing hair out and spritzing with a lightweight hairspray,

STRAIGHT & SLEEK

If you just can’t part from your favorite straight look, try Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight.  You’ll have flawlessly straight strands that will last for up to 3 days or until your next shampoo. 

Apply to damp hair and blow dry your hair straight.  The weightless spray provides heat protection as it blocks out frizz and enhances straightening results.  Then finish by flat ironing hair in sections to preserve the style.

Which style will you be trying?

XoXo,

Whitney

Have a Frizz-Free Holiday Weekend with John Frieda‏

Hey everyone! 

The AccuWeather report has the rest of May looking very unpredictable. Between the temperature changes and unexpected rain showers turned sunny skies, it’s difficult to know how your hair will react. Whether you’re planning on getting away for Memorial Day or are sticking around for a mini stay-cation, John Frieda Hair Care has you covered this weekend. 

Step 1: Start your day with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. With an exclusive Frizz-Mending Complex + natural olive oil, it smoothes strands, hydrates, and restores hair’s natural defense against frizz. 

Step 2: On damp hair apply the Frizz-Ease Serum that’s perfect for you. If you have thick hair, try the Extra Strength Formula; the Original Formula for medium hair; and for fine hair, the NEW Sheer Solution. 

Step 3: Finish your look with a dab of Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Crème. Not only does it transform puffy, parched hair into smooth, shiny strands, but it also contains a UV filter to protect from sun damage. Plus it replaces natural oils that are lost from blow drying and daily styling. 

Bonus Tip: If you’re leaving for the weekend and don’t want to worry about your hair at all, try Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Semi-Permanent Styling Spray. This heat-activated spray blocks out frizz as you straighten your hair, and stays that way for up to 3 days. This means you can flat iron your hair tonight and be worry-free until Monday morning!

Repair Your Hair As We Head Towards Fall

Hey everyone!

As we slowly transition into fall, it’s time to think about repairing the damage our hair has endured during the past few months. Not only do we put it through the ringer when styling on a daily basis, but the summer sun and elements have also been reaking havoc on our stands!

John Frieda’s Full Repair Collection is all about reversing what’s been done and protecting your hair from further damage.

“So many women who come into the salon have absolutely destroyed their hair by over-styling, over-coloring, and generally overdoing it,” explains Harry Josh, John Frieda® International Creative Consultant. “They traumatize their hair trying to get a certain look, but then they can’t maximize it because their hair is so fried. Full Repair™ offers them damage control that won’t weigh their hair down, letting them style to the limit while actually reversing the damage they’ve done to date.”

The Full Repair collection includes:

~Full Body Shampoo ($6.99): Formulated with Inca Inchi oil, this bodifying shampoo repairs the look and feel of overworked hair as it weightlessly restores bounce for full, flowing styles.

~Full Body Conditioner ($6.99): Omega-rich Inca Inchi oil repairs hair as the formula smoothes and detangles, reducing the risk of breakage and snagging when combing or brushing.

~Protecting Root Lift Foam ($6.99): This lightweight foam protects hair from heat damage with Inca Inchi oil while creating instant body. Work into wet or towel dried hair at the roots for weightless lift and high-volume hair when styled.

~Perfect Ends Deep Infusion ($9.99): This breakthrough product for Medium-Textured Hair instantly absorbs into damaged strands instead of coating the surface, penetrating hair with Inca Inchi oil to weightlessly reverse the look and feel of damage while protecting hair from heat.

~Perfect Ends Sheer Mist ($9.99): This softening mist for Fine-Textured Hair protects heat-damaged hair with omega-rich Inca Inchi oil. Spray evenly through clean, wet hair, concentrating on ends and damaged areas to weightlessly repair and promote smooth, healthy strands.

~Touch-up Flyaway Tamer ($9.99): This portable wand polishes broken strands, smoothing flyaways and frayed ends with Inca Inchi oil to keep hair sleek and smooth. Brush the wand over dry, styled hair for on-the-go touch-ups and a boost of shine.
