M: At the age of 19. I started at a salon called Bumble & Bumble.
ALS: What is your favorite hair color?
M: I adore a highlighted look, a rich brown into a mixture of multicolored honey’s ,caramel’s and soft blondes.

For example, staying away from gels, and harsh hairspray’s, being more aware of tepurture controls on hot tools and moisturizing is always the key. Bottling a healthy 19 year old girl’s hair…This is what the beauty industy is trying to achieve for women of all ages!

June is the begining of summer and also the start to find great hair products. Being the Gemini that I am, I felt the need to have twin products of the month . SACHAJUAN Straight Out Gel & Styling Gel are like most twins, even if these products look identical they are quite different. The Styling Gel allows optimal styling, creates volume and strong support. On the other hand ,the Straight Out Gel helps protect hair from heat tools, creates fabulously soft and silky hair with superb shine!
Most people have two outlooks on things . If your a Gemini than this feeling is quite intense especially when it comes to great summer beauty products and looking like a mega star! Take it from an expert, these twin gels will never let you down, just like a real Gemini!

Leonard Zagami, hair guru to the stars, manipulated Hayden Panettiere’s short haircut into the cutest “Pebbles like” ponytail when she appeared on ABC’s THE VIEW. This look is sure to start one of the summers hottest hair trends!!!!
To achieve this fresh and flirty style , start by flat ironing hair. Then add Oribe Original Pomade to hair pulled back into an elastic. Use a few bobby pins to secure the shape, and finish with SACHAJUAN Strong Hold Hairspray…….A look that is sure to get lots of attention!!
