AUGUST 2011

Both Tulisa’s hair and Kelly Rowland’s hair looked sensational for the 2011 X Factor press launch on Wednesday.

Kelly Rowlands hair was worn in long flowing waves which cascaded down her back and complimented her figure hugging black and green dress beautifully - long locks really suit Kelly Rowland! A HeadKandy 20-22” or a 24-26” full head in Soho would be perfect for re-creating Kelly Rowlands hair style at the London press launch.

Tulisa’s hair was equally gorgeous!! Her hair, which has had extra blonde highlights put through the fringe and front sections ready for the start of X factor, was swept elegantly over one shoulder and was styled in bold curls that worked really well with her tight-fitting detailed black dress!! A 20-22” full head set in Iced Coffee might be a good option for Tulisa’s hair!!

Both ladies wowed the crowd with their red carpet hair and their figure hugging dress … and this was just for the press launch!! We’re looking forward to seeing the styling of both Kelly Rowland and Tulisa throughout the series and we really can’t wait for X Factor to kick off tomorrow!!

Summer hair shades tend to be golden and sun kissed, whether you’re a blonde, brunette or a red head during the summer months your hair will look shimmery with warm tones brought out by the sun’s rays.
Many of our Headkandy extensions are perfect for creating this summer hair look all year round! The addition of very subtle highlights to your own hair or using a toner can simply transform the shade to look as though you have just stepped off the beach or out of the sun!!

Blondes

California Highlights is the ultimate summer blonde shade!! This sandy, golden toned shade has very subtle bleach highlights creating gorgeous depth for your summer hair. Many Hollywood starlets have played with these sandy tones including Kristen Cavallari, Carrie Underwood and Reese Witherspoon.

If you prefer a block shade for your summer hair then Malibu Blonde is perfect!! This is a multi-tonal light sandy shade that blends perfectly with block shades or even if you have a few highlights. Malibu blonde is a very natural blonde shade, perfect if you have mousey hair that lightens up in the sun. Amanda Seyfried is very similar to this shade.

 

Brunettes

Iced Coffee is a great warm toned summer brunette shade. The addition of a few fine subtle highlights to the rich chocolate base adds definition whilst still achieving the sun kissed effect.
Cheryl Cole's hair is notorious for this look, but many other celebs such as Miley Cyrus and Audrina Patridge have added some fine highlights to their natural dark hair. This summer look is so easy to create and easy to change if you fancy going back darker as the dark evenings of autumn set in!!

 

Red Heads

Being a natural red head might make you be a little anxious when the summer sunshine approaches, but in terms of summer hair, you can do no wrong!!
Lightening up your natural tones can make natural red hair a gorgeous strawberry blonde shade. St Tropez is the perfect accompaniment for this look. Keeping the warm tones, this is a multi-tonal shade that looks stunning with a tan. To try out this shade you don’t have to be a natural red head – normally blonde, Whitney Port has recently been seen with a shade very similar to St Tropez, we think the shade suits her skin tone perfectly! Mary Kate Olsen is a fan of this shade all year round, proving that this summer hair shade can work well with paler skin too!

Tulisa Contostavlos’ hair really has been transformed by the X Factor - just like her wardrobe and styling has been revamped over the last few weeks. This weekend the launch of both the USA and UK X Factor television promos graced our screens, shortly followed by the press shots. Tulilsa’s press photo looks amazing but very Cheryl Cole- esque!

Tulisa, pictured in a structured body con dress looks gorgeous but it’s a far cry away from her N-Dubz image. Gone are tracksuits and mismatched outfits, instead Tulisa wears classy dresses and on trend ensembles which we have loved watching during the audition processes. It seems for these final shots of the judges, before the live shows start, Tulisa’s hair and full transformation is complete.

Tulisa’s hair before she started judging was bleached blonde, to start her days as a judge we saw Tulisa’s X factor hair change to a very dark shade, this looked great but perhaps not quite perfect. It was during the audition process when Tulisa’s hair stylist really started experimenting with fashion forward hair styles and trends, some of which looked gorgeous! We think this shot showcases the perfect style for Tulisa’s hair.

 

Tulisa’s hair looks full, voluminous, glossy and healthy; the dark shade has been revamped with the addition of some subtle highlights which reflect her skin tones. Her hair has been lifted at the roots and the very ends of her hair have been waved creating movement and volume. A full head set will help create the volume and length of Tulisa’s hair.

 

We can’t wait to see what happens to Tulisa’s hair in the live shows. Throughout the auditions she has shown that she isn’t afraid to try out new and interesting styles and we are eagerly awaiting her continued choices in the live shows.

Pippa Middleton’s hair always looks super glamorous and she is really making a name for herself as a style icon … almost as much as Kate herself.

It seems that being blessed with good hair runs in the Middleton family because Pippa Middleton’s hair appears naturally full and always looks groomed to perfection!

Pippa Middleton’s hair is fairly easy to re-create if you want this natural glamour for yourself; her hair has long layers all over with slight texture and her fringe appears long and slightly textured, but not quite as long as her layers.

Pippa’s hair at Kate and William’s wedding was simply stunning!! She opted for a favourite wedding hair style with a half-up and half-down ‘do! This is a perfect choice for a formal event; it looks super feminine and it’s easy to create!
Pippa Middleton’s hair was styled into natural curls which complimented her style perfectly. Fit your HeadKandy hair extensions first and style them in with your own hair (add your curls now if you want a style like Pippa) then pin sections of your hair back to create your half-up half-down style … add a clip for extra glamour!

Pippa Middleton is really starting to emerge into the public eye now and we can’t wait to see her different hair styles as she becomes more of a style icon!!
