Danes’ red Versace gown inspired stylist Peter Butler to give the new mom a “modern Jessica Rabbit” ‘do.

To start, Butler blew out her hair with a large, round, boar-bristle brush. Next, he curled her locks section by section using a curling iron with a 1 1/2 inch barrel.

To set the curls, he sprayed Danes’ hair with Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hairspray. To achieve the waves, Butler brushed through the curls with a paddle brush before applying Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme for shine and hold.

All you need now is a hot red dress.

Rihanna changes hairstyle quickly and often – only this year she has had curls, blonde hair with bangs, a super short look and today’s asymmetric dark hair.

Yet her routine is consistent. “As soon as we get to the hotel I wash her hair,” Williams tells me at the Paris airport. “She hates dirty hair and so do I, especially when we are travelling from town to town like now.”

“If we don’t wash it before the next gig we use a lot of dry shampoo and products that remove oil,” he continues. “We also use a lot of olive oil products that give the hair nourishment and a nice shine. And they don’t contain that many chemicals, they are natural which she loves.”

They drum up inspiration together.

“She isn’t the kind of girl who just sits there not knowing what she wants,” he says. “She has her own thoughts and that makes it a lot more interesting to create. When we are together we can sit for hours looking through magazines, become inspired and exchange thoughts. She sends me pictures when she’s at home as well.”

Rihanna isn’t afraid of a short haircut, so it may not come as a surprise that one of her biggest inspirations when it comes to hair is: men.

“Honestly most of the inspiration comes from men,” he says. “We go through men’s magazines like Vogue Homme and cool fashion spreads.” Is the next step a close shave? “She could go that far,” Williams says.

And then we’re back on the plane.

Cyrus, who is recently engaged, has been tweeting about her haircut pretty much non-stop, with plenty of pics for all the world to see. She even live tweeted through the whole thing, posting a photo of a pair of scissors up against her shoulder-length locks.

“Never felt more me in my whole life,” she tweeted after the cut was complete. “Most successful Sally day EVER! I feel pretty ohhhh so pretty and gayyy.”

As with anything Miley Cyrus does, the new look came with all kinds of controversy, sparking compliments and criticism alike. Did Cyrus let it all go, showing off the new cut and moving on?

No. No, she did not.

She fired back at the haters, making sure the conversation about her hair did not let up for even a minute.

“My dad @billyraycyrus used to tell me ‘opinions are are like a—— every body has one’ LOVE my hair, feel so happy, pretty, and free,” she tweeted. Then, more pics.
 
Yes, we get it.

At this rate, you’d think it was the first time ever a celebrity got some kind of new hair look. Believe it or not, plenty of celebrities get a complete tress overhaul on a fairly regular basis. They just aren’t chronicling every second of it via social media.  

You never know what Rihanna’s hair will look like next.

Lindsay Lohan’s transition to blonde marked the beginning of a downward spiral.

Nadya Suleman said she received death threats after filing for welfare from the state of California. She claimed $2,000 worth of food stamps per month was simply not enough to support her and her 14 children. How, then, can Suleman afford $520 in hair services?

TMZ has posted a photo of a check the Octomom signed over to her hair stylist as payment for two haircuts and a Brazilian blowout. The stylist, Stephanie, said Octomom’s kids were living in such “squalor” that she went to the police and filed a report.

Octomom’s continually questionable priorities are once again at the center of attention — Stephanie said the plumbing was broken at Octomom’s home and her kids were using portable toilets in the backyard — this after Octomom deemed the $150 needed to fix the pipes too expensive.

Additionally — and if this is true it’s decidedly the worst part of this story, Stephanie said that while she was there, Octomom kept her kids locked in a bedroom, lodging a char against the knob to keep the door closed. She snapped a pic, which TMZ posted.

“I wanted her hair to have a casual feeling — very soft, almost as if she had pulled it together herself,” explains Angileri. “The design is modern, asymmetrical and just a little messy.”

Instructions:
Angileri started by curling small sections of Theron’s naturally wavy hair with a two inch curling iron. “I used the larger iron because I didn’t want to curl her hair, but to refine the natural wave. This helped create an effortless transition from her natural look to red carpet,” he says.

After a few minutes, he brushed through her hair to create a romantic, soft texture.

Next, Angileri swept her hair to the left and made three sections. “I pulled and rolled the first two into a loose bun and pinned them, working with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray throughout the process. I released and wrapped the last section under and around the bun and pinned it. Finally, I adjusted and freed strands in the bun so it looked even more unstructured, messy and a bit wispy.”

The final touch was spraying the do with Moroccanoil Frizz Control.

As characters break the fourth wall, run through the aisles and famously bare it all onstage, not even the most stoic theatergoers can sustain distance from the material. Whether you relate to the lovelorn, pregnant Jeannie (Kacie Sheik) or the spitfire protestor Sheila (Caren Lyn Tackett), you find yourself responding to the tribe’s lustful, confused, angry and ultimately hopeful path — even if you disagree with the one-sided liberal mindset or believe you’re simply there for the energetic pop-rock score. Like the characters, you come to realize that you cannot just remain passive and enjoy the world being created around you.

The choreography of the fun-fueled ensemble romps can be frenetic, and you’re not always sure where to look — but this buffers the more somber overarching plot. As the characters come into their own, the show seems less scattered and settles into maturity as well.

That’s how Anthony Vitale of Antony David Salon in Burlington, Mass., sees it.

“People have more and more allergies,” he bemoans, “and we’re doing it to ourselves.”

During his career working in hair salons, both InStyle and Allure magazines voted Vitale among the country’s best colorists. But after 20 years of handling chemical-laden products, he started worrying.  

“If you’re handling these chemicals every day, you wonder what the buildup does to your health down the line,” Vitale tells Metro.

So, he started researching hair product ingredients and was horrified by his findings. Hair colors cause particular concern, as the chemicals in colors sit on the scalp for an hour or so and can be absorbed through the skin and dispersed through the body. Studies since the ’80s have linked chemicals in hair colors to certain cancers, including leukemia and ovarian cancer. Pregnant women are advised to avoid hair colors. What’s more, they’re not good for hair health either, often compromising the hair shaft and resulting in dry, brittle locks.

During a spring seminar, Vitale discovered Yo.Coloring, a yogurt-based color line that contains no ammonia or paraphenylenediamine. Applied topically, full-fat yogurt has long been revered as a hair conditioner.

“It’s wild stuff,” says Vitale, “and it works just as well as, if not better than, the traditional color.”

When working with hair smoothing and straightening products, salon employees can be exposed formaldehyde, which has been linked to lung and nose cancer if it is inhaled, warned OSHA.

OSHA started their investigation after salon workers complained that using products like the popular Brazilian Blowout and other hair smoothing products was making them sick.

Salon workers said they cough, have trouble breathing and have watery eyes when working with some hair straightening products.

If a salon owner continues to use products that contain formaldehyde, then they must follow OSHA’s standards, warned the government: Ventilating the room, as well as wearing gloves, chemical splash goggles, face shields and chemical resistant aprons.

Until now!

In what is sure to be a landmark in the history of the media’s relationship to the Royal Family’s youngest generation, the Associated Press has written an entire article about His Royal Baldness:

Prince William looks like someone who has it all: royal status, a charming fiancee, good health, and an easy touch with his future subjects. But there is one thing he lacks: a full head of hair.

Casual observers who have not paid much attention to Britain’s future king in the years before his recent engagement to Kate Middleton have been surprised by the extent of the 28-year-old’s hair loss. William still cuts a tall, imposing figure, but his bald spot has been spreading as his hairline recedes.

Oh, dear. "But there is one thing he lacks," really? There is literally no way to twist the knife in any more, right? AP, right?

It’s even more apparent since [William's] 26-year-old brother Prince Harry still sports a luxuriant supply of tousled red hair.

So sad for you, Wills. How can William disguise his the genetic tragedy of his follicles? Metro has some ideas:

»Shave his head: Bald men have been doing this for centuries! But it seems a little "common"; we’re thinking the Royal Family might frown upon this look.

»Wear a yarmulke: The Jewish religious cap would certainly cover up Will’s bald spot. But unless he converted to Judaism, this would probably be incredibly offensive! And if did, then he wouldn’t be allowed to lead the Church of England, meaning he’d have to give up his claim to the throne. Too high a price?

»Get hair plugs: We call this "Pulling a Biden." But won’t it be obvious at best and look horrible at worst?

»Wear a hat: This is the AP’s solution, advising William to emulate his famous grandmother. But how boring! Instead, we suggest…

»Wear a crown (all the time!): OK, so as the grandson of the Queen, William doesn’t have an official title that comes with a crown. Who cares? Make one anyway! This is the dignity of the Royal Family we’re talking about. Plus, walking around wearing a crown all the time would be pretty badass.

Can the average woman blow out her own hair as well as a salon?

“I think so, because it’s a skill and all skills are learned — blow drying is not a gift,” says Scrivo. “There’s not one assistant that I hired that knew how to blow dry hair. I had to train them. It takes some practice and patience.”

Scrivo’s must-haves

HAIR DRYER
“My favorite is the Twin Turbo 3200. It’s an Italian brand and it’s very powerful. If used correctly, it doesn’t damage the hair and reduces drying time. The hair is shinier and easier to work with.”
Turbo Power Twin Turbo 3200, $100, www.amazon.com

BRUSH
“Using a right brush is as import as using a sharp knife when cooking — it affects the whole experience,” says Scrivo. She likes to use a brush with a mix of boar and plastic bristles. “The bristles should be at least ¾ to an inch in length, because if the bristles are shorter than that it’s very difficult to grab the hair,” she says.
Spornette #955-XL, $20, www.amazon.com

PRODUCT
“Use a product that will protect your hair from the dryer as well as smooth the cuticle,” says Scrivo. She likes:

» For volume (right)

Steps for the perfect blowout

1: Start at the back of the head, holding the section toward the floor.

2: Move to the sides, still directing the hair downward.

3: Direct the hair at the crown toward the ceiling for height.

4: Elevate the top section for lift.

5: Dry the bangs section, directing it straight ahead, toward the mirror.
