Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Wella & DKNY Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection

I became well versed in all Wella products while apprenticing at Vidal Sassoon and so I was curious to see what the artistic team would create for DKNY's runway show. I was told that the fall collection "encapsulates New York art and soul, reflecting the convergence of creative worlds and individual style that is the spirit of New York City". The hair look was a "refined side-swept ponytail projecting a sexy equestrian vibe with a subtly strong, yet not too masculine look".

Wella Professionals lead colorist Eva Scrivo directed a team of colorists to handpaint extensions using Blondor, Koleston Perfect and ColorTouch to match the natural color palette of the models' hair- ranging from medium brown to a spectrum of blonde shades. Extensions were then woven in to soften the look by placing the paler pieces in the front where the sun would naturally lighten the hair.

Eugene Souleiman (top photo), Global Creative Director for Wella Professionals, led the styling team by creating the low side ponytail using System Professionals Volumagic to give the side part direction. System Professional Hypercurl was used on the length of the ponytail for separation and added texture. Additional looks from the runway show are available here.

Are you all impressed? Love the look?

Mischo Beauty Review: David Babaii for Wild Aid

So, you're probably asking what exactly David Babaii for Wildaid is? Well, celebrity hairstylist David Babaii recently teamed up with Kate Hudson to create a line of professional hair care products (at drug store prices!) and styling tools. What caught my attention was the fact that David Babaii is Vidal Sassoon trained (I guess I'm kinda biased since I was an apprentice with Vidal Sassoon- and the experience was amazing!) and that was really all the convincing I needed, but in addition to that, the products themselves are eco-friendly.

The products were developed using natural and exotic ingredients and they contain no parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals or animal products- and 10% of revenues are dontated to WildAid, which is a global wildlife conservation organization. I've used the Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner and I loved the way my hair felt after using them- very soft and manageable and my hair type is 4B! I also used the Hair Polish as a blow-drying serum with very nice results. It's very light and can be used on wet or dry hair as protection from heat styling. Overall, I think the products are great and definitely worth trying!

Have you tried this line?

Mischo Beauty Pick: Wella's SP Power Mask

I've said this before and I must say it again for all my new readers. I discovered this deep conditioning treatment while training with Vidal Sassoon. It's the best conditioner I've used thus far for coarse, damaged or bleached hair.

It replaces much needed moisture lost during chemical services, returns the hair to it's normal pH and it smooths and seals the hair's cuticle, resulting in soft, shiny hair. My recommendation is to use it bi-weekly while sitting under a hooded hair dryer for 20 minutes.
