Do You Know How to Weatherproof Your Hair?

by

Kattia Solano of Butterfly Studio

Perhaps you remember around fashion week when I got that amazing haircut from Butterfly Studio Salon in NYC — a truly fabulous experience with incredible results! I recently received some tips on how to ‘weatherproof’ your hair from Butterfly Studio Salon’s Kattia Solano, the owner/founder/expert stylist who was featured in a hair segment on Good Day NY regarding preparing your coif for the unavoidable rainy/snowy days. I thought her tips were pretty good – good enough to share with the lovely FPD readers! The advice is broken out by hair type and accessory (hats or hoods)- enjoy!

TIP 1: WAVY/CURLY HAIR – HOW SHOULD YOU WEAR A HAT?

  • Hair around the frame of the face gets the most frizzy, especially for those with wavy and curly hair
  • Kattia suggests applying the Rahua Finishing Treatment to damp hair, leaving hair shiny and frizz-free, and then creating a simple braid across the hair line – from left mid-brow to behind the right ear
  • This simple technique will allow the hair around the frame of the face to remain groomed and in place, with minimal frizz, under a fashionable hat

TIP 2: STRAIGHT HAIR – HOW SHOULD YOU WEAR A HAT?

  • In order to minimize frizz and flyaways, Kattia suggests creating a side ponytail and/or a neat braid
  • With the help of an anti-frizz serum, such as the Kerastase OLEO-RELAX Serum, even under a hat, this style will maintain its form
  • Kattia also suggests tucking the ponytail under a scarf to keep all hair hidden from the rain and snow

TIP 3: JACKETS WITH HOODS – HOW TO MAKE YOUR HAIR LOOK IT’S BEST

  • Hoods typically aren’t as constricting as hats and are sometimes easier to protect hairstyles from inclement weather
  • Kattia suggests sectioning hair in four quadrants and creating loose pincurls, secured with large bobbypins and sprayed with a holding/texture spray such as the Shu Uemura Liquid Fabric
  • These pincurls will be hidden and protected under the hood of the coat
  • Once at your final destination, these four bobbypins can easily be removed to reveal bouncy and voluminous waves

Hudson Jeans: Spring 2010 Collection

by

Last week I attended the fabulous Hudson Jeans blogger event, which was an intimate gathering on  a rainy Monday night, with the lovely Peter Kim, President of Hudson Jeans, who definitely kept the light hearted, carefree vibe alive on such a dreary night. The four capsule collections that I saw, however, brightened my mood as well — Minimalist, Resurrection, D.I.Y., and Subversion. My favorite looks from the collection, which I think will be HUGE for spring were the selvage, unwashed darted baggy skinnies from the Minimalism collection, the darted baggy skinny in sun bleach fro the D.I.Y. collection, the skinny cargo in army black from the Subversion collection, and the skinny button fly in oil black from the Resurrection collection. I also was able to take home a pair of ‘jeggings’ which I proceeded to live in all weekend; it had the look of pockets in the front and back, with a stretchy, lightweight, legging fabrication.  Hudson is definitely up to some new, fabulous, innovative washes and cuts, so don’t forget to look for at least the styles mentioned above (and pictured below) in the coming months!
