Hair 101: The Wand

Isabelle Fuhrman

"The Wand" is becoming a popular hair untensil amongst tons of medium to long haired girls. Isabelle Furhman, pictured above, from the Hunger games is sporting a hairstyle that only a wand could accomplish. I love how her has very consructed coils while the hair is still loose and natural. The carefree wave look is becoming very "in" for spring/summer 2012.   The wand is basically a just a curling iron with no clamp that is bigger at the bottom and becomes smaller as it gets closer to the tip. The wand creates a spiral curl that is much looser than a normal curling iron and gives off more of a carefree wave. The wand comes in many different brands such as the one pictured below, although they may not all go by the name, The Wand.

Have you ever tried the Wand or a similar curling iron? How do you like the curls?

Prom Beauty Look: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez's hair and make-up is perfect for prom or any other special occasion look. The look is a bit less formal than normal , but it will help tone down an over the top dress. Selena Gomez's curls can be recreated by taking a medium or large curling iron and wrapping your hair around it. Since prom and special occasions may last for long amounts of hours you may want to have the curls start off much tighter and use more hairspray. The make-up look is very natural except for a pop of blue shadow right along the lash line paired with black liner and mascara. Selena's nude lips and dewy skin prevent the make-up look from being too much and only focuses on one feature.  This prom beauty look will work best with a short dress or a dress that involves lots of pattern or sparkly. Try it out ladies!
