For those of you who don’t know who Sam McKnight is, let me give you a little briefing. He is the pioneer behind many of the cover looks you find on Vougue and Harpers Bazzar, working with supermodels and celebrities since the 70’s. London Native and Global Ambassador for Pantene. He is one of the most admired and sought after hairstylist of all time.

Here is his new creation for next season coming out of London’s Fashion Week…

Londo Fashion week

Here’s how to get the look- Firstly you need to work some moose through freshly washed hair, rough dry it and create a straight deep side parting – spray and hold with hair spray and curling tongs to roll the hair to the roots securing the sections with a clip.
Once all the hair is tonged, remove the clips and brush out the curls. Then back comb sections of the hair to create that mega volume and texture. The trickiest part might be completely the look, Sam says ‘Tie hair with a slim hair band in a pony tail two inches from the ends and using the hairnet filled with hair extensions and shaped into a log, roll up the ends of the hair under and pin into place. Be careful not to flatten hair as this style is intended to look angular and texturised.’

What is Keratin Complex?

I have heard about this “Keratin Complex treatment” from all my friends with long hair so I finally did my own research to find out what it’s all about. From what I understand it is basically a relaxer that is not damaging to the hair but in fact very healing providing natural keratin protein, which rebuilds, restores and rejuvenates all types of hair. The difference is most relaxers are typically for very coarse ethnic hair but the Keratin can be and is used on all types.

It was created in 2007 by renowned stylist and salon owner Peter Coppola and has since taken the market by storm.

Their revolutionary smoothing system infuses Keratin deep into the hair cuticle, eliminating up to ninety-five percent of frizz and curl and leaving the hair smooth, shiny and luxurious. Results typically last 3 to 5 months depending on hair type.

• Their client testimonials refer to Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy as “life changing.” It rejuvenates and revitalizes the hair, giving it a softer, silkier feel that everyone raves about.

I am excited to try this product since I live in Florida with all the humidity, from my research it should cost anywhere from 2-300$ depending on the length of your hair

We are currently working on a shoot using the Artizen products and we are so excited! For those of you who don’t know about this wonderful invention, they are the flat iron and curling iron in one with heat on both sides. The curl that you get is amazing and there are many different ways to use the irons, and that’s why we are so excited about the videos.

Here is what their Trend report predicts for next season

“Straight, collapsed hair is out. Waves, curls and styled hair is in. Inspiration from classic hair styling of the 1940s through the 1970s compliments the theme of fashion today. As diverse as New York City sexy and chic or artistically bohemian, the runways of New York City and Paris are showing fashion trends with a highly defined style in clothing and hair styling. For the artistic hair designer, fashion is the inspiration for new creative styling; new advanced styling tools make it possible!” http://www.artizendigitaliron.com/pages/trend1.html

“Good Hair”  Chris Rocks new documentary

In the documentary “Good Hair,” comedian Chris Rock casts a critical and humorous eye on the Black hair-care business and explores the historical, political and social issues that play into the relationship between African-American women and their hair.

The film follows Rock as he journeys from New York to Atlanta, Dallas, Birmingham, Los Angeles and even India to find the finer points of the story. Along the way, he encounters hair-care professionals, beauty and barbershop patrons and celebrities including Raven Symoné, Ice-T, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Nia Long and Salt-N-Pepa, all of whom offer their hair-raising and candid perspectives.

Meanwhile, on the India trip, Rock visits a Hindu temple to witness a religious hair-sacrificing ceremony called “tonsuring.” A highly-prized commodity, human hair is one of the country’s largest exports, and each year more than 10 million Indians sacrifice hair to deity.

After the hair is shorn, it is processed and sold to international dealers — but what cut religious leaders and government officials receive is something audiences are left to ponder.
“They were very gracious to let us film at the temple, but we had to get out of their fast,” joked Rock when quizzed last week for more detail.

As the film points out, extensions are a big part of the business — it is estimated that hair weaves make up about 65 percent of the $9 billion revenue driven annually by Black hair care. And depending on the length, texture and type (synthetic or human), it can cost anywhere from $400 to more than $4,000.

On camera, video vixen Melyssa Ford, with a hint of embarrassment, admits she has spent around $18,000 in a year on weaves.

“That was the biggest shocker for me,” said Rock, while promoting the film at a Beverly Hills hotel.

“The money being spent is big and another thing we found out is the effect this can have on relationships. I mean it’s like dating somebody with a drug habit. Imagine if a woman was dating a guy and he spent almost $10,000 on baseball cards. It probably wouldn’t work.”

Awe! The power of hair! We just finished up another successful shoot and my saying “Hair is everything” still stands true. We had some good tears and some scared tears but it just goes to show you the power of hair. I want to encourage people to not be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to your hair and don’t be afraid to make a change and try something new. Working with Joe Lombardo of Blush salon Orlando was a little different for me because Joe draws his inspiration from the models and energy around him so I didn’t know what we were doing until the day of the shoot. I watched as we filmed the videos for the first time just as everyone else and I knew that people are going to love it because it was inventive, stylish and sexy! Stay tuned for the videos and DVD scheduled to release this spring. Tiana Griego
