Copy Katy Perry's flirty flicks

 
Katy Perry’s new short ’do is elegant and classic. Try styling your hair with these flirty flicks.
1. Wash hair with volumising shampoo and dry thoroughly with a large barrelled brush. Part your hair on one side.
2. For extra body and oomph set the hair in heated rollers. Take sections of hair about 1 – 2in thick and wrap around the roller fairly tight. If the roller doesn’t feel secure, add pins to help keep them in place.
3. After 20-30 minutes, release the rollers and let the hair cool before gently brushing your hair. Take the hair on one side and sweep back off the face and secure with Kirby grips (about an inch above your ear). Finally spray all over with volumising hairspray. Article  Courtesy of LoveYourHair.

Renowned for: cool colour skills
2011 highlights: My highlight of the year was definitely winning a place as the North East colourist for the L’Oréal Colour ID Artist team, which is a two-year teaching programme for colour talent across the
country. Working as part of the team combines my two favourite passions – hair and colour – both inspired by fashion. Being part of the team allows me to learn, and in turn teach other hairdressers the forthcoming seasonal trends through taking part in shows or workshops. Being on the team is great for Westrow as it means I can share my new-found knowledge with the Creative Team and salons, as well as my clients, which means Westrow is always one-step ahead of the trends.

Fall and Winter Trends with American Crew

Fall and Winter Trends with American Crew: Back to Basics

Designers are saying less is more again this winter, going back to basics with a commercial color palette and timeless fabrics. Looks combine biker styling and tailored silhouettes to create fashions that are tough, urban and subversive. Hairstyles are also making a statement, bringing looks that are equally masculine.

One style we’ve seen again this season is the wet look. Characterized by super-slick, smoothed-down or wet-and-wavy styles, these offer a structured look that does not go unnoticed on the runway.

Hair pulled high above the head in beehive hairstyles is another look we’ve seen. Groomed and smoothed to perfection, without a single hair out of place, this style offers a masculine, yet edgy, look that commands attention.

We have some great American Crew products and Christmas Gift packs available at selected Westrow salons or online at Westrow shopping http://ow.ly/7Thiq

2011 highlights: I loved working on the Charlie Le Mindu show at this year’s L’Oréal Colour Trophy in London – it was a great experience – as was entering the Awards this year, too. I also worked at London Fashion Week last month, which
was amazing. Aside from the creative, I have been concentrating on the education side of things – most recently working with Nicola Hulatt-Richards on the UK-based H3 education programme from L’Oréal Professionnel, which Steve Rowbottom headed up internationally last year. As an ambassador for the brand I am responsible for teaching students from the North East region the looks from the programme, so they can take it back to their salons.

A Vogue Idea

A Vogue Idea

 
Glossy manes in glossy mags are just par for the
Westrow course these days. Here, creative director
Steve Rowbottom and creative team stylist, Nicola
Hulatt-Richards, talk about making waves for Vogue

Renowned as the style bible across the globe, Vogue is synonymous with fashion-forward trends, so it
was fitting that Westrow Creative Director Steve Rowbottom and Creative Team member, Nicola Hulatt-Richards, were requested to take part in a shoot that would grace the pages of its September issue – the biggest and most coveted of the year. Focusing on the L’Oréal Professionnel INOA colour range – an ammonia-free,in-salon, permanent hair colouring system comprising eight families of fashion shades– the design duo worked within the copper family of tones to perfect their stunning look; the perfect hue for the screen siren style they created on the day. “Vogue is very clear with its direction, and although there was some flexibility in the finished look, the team did set a brief of 1950’s Hollywood seductive beauty, but with a modern twist,” said Nicola. “They wanted us to create a screen siren style, taking inspiration from Jessica Rabbit and Dita Von Teese, which we updated with glamorous waves breaking near the temples.”The shoot – the third one the Westrow Creative Team has collaborated on for Vogue – took place in May at the Worx studios in Parsons Green, London. “Our call time was 8am, however we didn’t start shooting until 5pm because the Dior dress for our model was flown in especially from Milan, and was held up at Heathrow!” recalls Nicola.With the damsel and the dress drama over, the team worked their magic to ensure it was a resounding success – with their model’s hair seriously making waves with the Vogue team. “After prepping the hair we tonged it and used large rollers to create a little lift,” says Steve. “The hair was then brushed out and fixed with L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art anti-frizz spray, for a truly glamorous look.”“Working on such prestigious projects is great recognition for Westrow,” continued Steve. “We are renowned for our cutting ability as a company, but we also have an extremely talented group of session stylists on board, so having the opportunity to showcase our session work in Vogue is one of the best forms of recognition for us.”

2011 highlights: I have enjoyed a great year and have worked on a few really exciting projects,including travelling to Milan with Steve Rowbottom to recreate
some of our signature Westrow styles for more than 500 Italian hairdressers. I also assisted Steve at the Professional Hairdresser Live show in Manchester Central, where we headed up the L’Oréal Professionnel platform, and most recently we worked together on the Vogue photoshoot for its September issue. On the education side, I have been working with Matthew (Sutcliffe) as one of the
H3 ambassadors for the North-East region, which has been great as we get to educate hairdressers from across the UK on current trend-led looks. The Westrow Creative Team is made up of people of all different strengths, which ensures the team is well-rounded and able to take on anything.

2011 highlights: mentoring the L’Oréal Professionnel ID Artist team (an initiative that offers progressive hairdressers a two-year talent development programme) has been one of the biggest. I worked with them for two-days in Manchester,
where I delivered my interpretation of L’Oréal’s A/W11 collection so that they could gain tips on how to deliver on stage for their showcase later this month. I have also enjoyed running my own courses at the L’Oréal academies as I come from a teaching background, having taught at Sassoon’s for 10 years. This year I headed up three Barbering courses in Leeds, Manchester and London and worked alongside Steve Rowbottom at his Contemporary Classics course in London.
