Fall Hair Trends from UMBERTO Beverly Hills

        

          Disclosure: This isn’t a sponsored post.

 

Short cuts are always fashionable and easy to wear. Best worn with lot of layers for added texture and movement.  Adding ,  layers of bangs and layers around the face allows you to create a variety of looks from soft, feminine and wispy style to edgy and bold.

To get the look:  Use the Banana Brush, brushing from side to side to create lift and movement.  Then use the ICU 10 STYLING IRON to smooth and bend the ends to add dimension. Then mix UMBERTO Beverly Hills Roman Oil and Texture Cream together and work into the hair for shine and added texture.

For versatility, hair can be pushed back on the sides and off of the face with height.

 

Long hair will never go out of style, but the length does not need to be any longer than Sara Sampaoi's hair. The key is a good and regular cut to avoid visible split ends, good shampoo and conditioner and tools to maintain.  Don't over dry or overuse styling iron heat.

The cut:  Long blended layers that give the illusion of body, fullness and movement.  The layers will provide a natural and soft wave when hair is air dried.

Always use a leave in conditioner with heat protector, like the UMBERTO Beverly Hills Controller Conditioner for added shine smoothness and heat protection.  The UMBERTO Beverly Hills Dry Texture Spray will enhance the movement and texture.

 

Around the face: 3/4 part with first layer around the face beginning at the hollow of the cheek. Add layers for movement and texture, beginning below the ears with scattered layers that are balayaged or painted with a lighter tone.  The color is painted on so that the highlighted pieces just peek out on the area creating movement.

To get the look: Blow dry with UMBERTO Controller Conditioning Spray and the UMBERTO Beverly Hills Banana Brush until nearly dry concentrating on lifting the roots. Then switch to theUMBERTO Beverly Hills Medium Round Brush for smoothness and bend on the ends.  Use the UMBERTO Beverly Hills Roman Oil with Olive and Macadamia oils that are absorbed for shine and texture for a style that is fresh, pretty, flirty and modern.

For an edgier rock and roll version add a full and heavy bang

One of America’s favorite candy brands, Sour Jacks, is celebrating the new launch of 3 new flavors and the unveiling of the new “wedge shape,” by proclaiming National Wedge Day on August 17th.

We absolutely loved the Sour Jack Wedges. If your kids or yourself love sour candy than this is exactly what you need. The flavors are amazing and they are just the right amount of sour sugar + chewy for me. (You have to understand that I LOATE gummy textures in my mouth). These weren’t like that at all. I couldn’t stop eating the green ones. I definitely want more!!
