We at Miracles Salon wish you all happiness and health for 2010! An arctic start here in the Washington, D.C. area, but that doesn’t mean that under those hats, hoods and scarves we shouldn’t have red carpet-worthy hair.

The new year is starting off with a bunch of award shows where celebrities are going to be wearing the seasons must haves and ofcourse, the “it” hair styles. This past Sunday was the People’s Choice Awards, and on January 17th the Golden Globe awards will be airing on TV. I know Racheal Zoe must be in a scramble trying to find the must have dresses of the season, and accessories to match. So, as we brace the winter chills, spring fashions will be in full force.

What was going on at the People’s Choice Awards? There was one overall trend when it came to hair, most celebrities had their hair down in a soft wave: Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood– but also Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman who opted for the flat iron look. Ladies, I keep saying it, bring those hot rollers out! With a little bit of practice, it should take you no more than ten minutes to have red carpet hair!

I don’t think this trend is going anytime soon, I wonder if it’s going to continue to the Golden Globes, or will they muster up something new? I guess we shall have to wait and see. Until then, plug in those hot rollers and pull out the hairspray!

Happy Curling!

Oh the days of Glamour!

 

As I rush out my front door every morning, it’s a challenge to spend hours in front of the bathroom mirror to be up to par with the women from decades past. OH, how nice to be in a silk robe, a fresh cup of hot coffee, and dozens of hot rollers in my hair while I carefully apply my make-up. The retro women of the 50’s and 60’s always left the house put together, and never, ever with wet hair. GHASTLY! Ladies, what is wrong with us?HISTORY is supposed to repeat itself, so, lets repeat what the women decades ago did: TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!

 

Lets start with the obvious: HAIR. Here is what you need, don’t worry the list is short.

- Large hot rollers or a ceramic iron (1 inch if your hair is shoulder length or longer, smaller than and inch if your hair is shorter). Need a curling iron or hot rollers? Check out Beauty Choice and get Free Shipping Over $50…BeautyChoice.com

- Bobby pins

- Hair/finishing spray

- Comb/brush

Now, section out your hair and gently mist it with some spray. Take small sections at a time and curl them into ringlets (Shirley Temple or Goddess, whatever you prefer). Flip your hair over and gently separate or comb. Gently mist with spray again and that’s it!

Complete your look with some red lips, smoky eyes and a natural base makeup.

 

Need some extra inspiration, check out the women of Mad Men. Not only a great show, but a place for retro inspiration. Haven’t seen the this AMC original? Don’t be left in the dark, click on the link and purchase Mad Men – Season One DVD – Buy it here!
