The Cupcake Hair Style

The Cupcake Look

Not to make you guys hungry! But this is the cupcake inspired look of the week:) The top half of this style is in the shape of a cupcake icing swirl. So how exactly is this look achieved? Simple, this is a three strand braid starting at the crown and rotating around and around in a circular motion while adding hair to one of the three strands of the braid. The rotating motion is repeated until you have reached the hairline, or in this case with some pieces in the perimeter which were left down and secured with a coiling technique.

Twisted Up-do With O2 Detox

Our model Carol had lots! and I mean lots of heavy hair. To began her hair style we started off with an O2 treatment "Detox for Hair and Scalp". Detoxing her hair got rid of years of build up from styling products and the elements around her. The end result was a lighter hair to work with, and a healthier and shinier canvas to work into an incredible hair style.

Swept Crown Braid- Essence of Youth

The Swept Crown Braid begin by treating the hair with Essence of Youth. Because of the length of the hair, the ends were damaged and brittle. Essence of Youth fixed the ends, and added collagen to the her hair, filling in any pot holes in the follicles, giving the hair a smooth and even look throughout.

Olez® Attends Premiere Orlando 2013

                                                                                                                                             
We had another great experience this year at Premiere Orlando. Our beautiful booth located at #3481 had our signature white theme, coupled with our hands on mixology labs. Attendees got to experience the products first hand, enjoy on stage demos, and were assisted by our beautiful promo models showcasing creative hair styling achieved by prepping the models with our treatments. Both days we offered free Advanced Editorial Styling classes which were featured on ModernSalon.com. Olez® gave everyone not only styling tips but also advise on how to get their work published, and ultimately push the boundaries to become renown industry experts. Remembering that no style can ever achieve it's maximum potential without a clean canvas is key. When you work with brittle, damaged hair, no amount of techniques can make the style look as good as it would with healthy hair. Depending on the hair issue your client may have, we have a product to solve it. Whether it be thinning hair, to which you'd use our Essence of Youth (Botox for the hair), or dealing with extreme product build up and dull hair, with which you'd use our O2 system (Detox for hair and scalp). Either way, the key to great styling is starting with a clean canvas. Aside from the class we had crazy buy one get one free offers on all products. Attendees also got to enjoy free product through our Spotter Program and Register To Win offers. Over all it was another great show, but stay tuned because next week we will bring you the step by step techniques on all the hair styles you saw at our booth. See you next year @ Premiere Orlando 2014!

How to Create a Fishtail Pompadour and French Twist Without Pins! by Olez®

Fishtail Pompadour

Before starting the Fishtail Pompadour styling technique, our model Carol's hair was treated with the Olez®  O2 DETOXING system for hair and scalp. The treatment got rid of build up in the hair, giving it better manageability and an incredible shine. This gave the stylist a clean canvas to work with. The following is an article from ModernSalon, featuring styling work achieved by starting with healthy hair by Olez®.

In an editorial styling segment at Premiere Orlando 2013, Olez® showed class members advanced long hair dressing techniques that will make your client’s feel runway ready. One of the examples, was how to create a very simple “fishtail pompadour.”

To get the look, simply fishtail braid the top of the head, secure the end with an elastic. To get the pomp,  lift the fishtail off the base of the head, and pushed it upwards to create height. (Watch the first minute of the video for the visual how-to steps.) This simple technique creates height with a neat texture! You can do the fishtail braid in the crown, the back of the head, or you can do it on the sides (if you're daring!)

After the pompadour, Olez® explains how to create a French Twist using ZERO pins!

After creating the fishtail braid pompadour, make a shoelace knot, by taking hair from both sides of the head. With a general French Twist it involves a lot of tweezing, combing over and using hair pins. This style requires zero pins.

On the left side of the head, twist a large section of hair counterclockwise. "Keep a little 'hair tread' in the center that you will later on use to stitch the two sides together," Olez's stylist says. Then, move to the right side of the head, take a large section and twist it counterclockwise.

"When you do the second side, make sure you leave a gap, because if it’s flush you won’t be able to tighten it up," says stylist. After you have created your two rolls on each side of the head, take the “hair thread” and stitch the two sides together. "This technique is much easier than using 100 pins!"

How is your client going to get this undone at home? If you started stitching together the style at the bottom, tell them to start unraveling at the bottom. If you started the stitching at the top, then advise them to start from the top. It’s just like a shoelace, says stylist. “Just imagine if you did this style to someone at the make-up counter at the mall, I guarantee you every time she turns around someone is going to ask her where she got her hair done. Give her some of your business cards, and I guarantee you, you will get clients.
