Muy Caliente in Madrid

tagged celebs, fashion and hair in spotlight

America has the Grammys and the VMAs, but across the pond, music’s biggest night is the MTV European Music Awards. And Saturday night in Madrid, the hottest stars in the biz showed up on the EMA red carpet looking every bit the unique artists that they are. While there were definitely some major “what was she thinking?!” moments, there were also some surprising standouts. We were glad to see that Katy Perry ditched the electric blue wig and instead paired her bedazzled Jeremy Scott frock with a slicked and sleek top knot/ponytail combo and tame makeup. Her gal pal Rihanna also hit a red carpet home run. The pop star looked absolutely stunning in a cream ruffled gown with her red locks pulled into a modern beehive with sweeping bangs. She completed her ensemble with peach eye shadow, baby pink lipstick and deep burgundy fingertips. We also gave booty-shaking songbird Shakira’s style two enthusiastic thumbs up. The EMA opening entertainer complemented her metallic mini and black pumps with equally rockin’ locks. Her blonde strands were left loose, tousled and styled into a middle part for a carefree-yet-put-together look. Clean, matte makeup completed her red carpet getup.

Secrets to Shiny, Sexy Hair

Try these hairstyle secrets to crank up your hair’s shine factor so high you’ll practically need sunglasses!

Know how often you should shampoo. Wash every other day if you have thick hair that doesn’t get too oily. Suds up your locks everyday if your hair is finer and gets oily more quickly. A blast of cool water at the end of your shower will help close off hair follicles to seal in the shine-makers from your shampoo.

Shine Products Use a moisturizing hair mask like Bumble's Creme de Coco or Curl Conscious Masque once a week will help glossify your hair.

Clarify. All those hairsprays, gels and hair creams have a habit of gunking up. Clarifying shampoos might sound like the perfect solution, but you risk stripping away the healthy, natural oils along with the gunk. Instead, use this gentle DIY recipe once a week to remove buildup: Add a few ounces of apple cider vinegar to your shampoo, then follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. The cider helps break down residue so natural luster can dig back to the surface.

Heat-proof Your Hair Spritz your hair with a thermal spray before you fire up the hot tools. It’ll protect hair from the heat and add a little gleam.

Invest in a Good Hair Brush A paddle brush with a mix of natural boar and nylon bristles promotes shiny hair.

Get a Sleek Cut Keep layers to a minimum. One-length haircuts with a bit of a frame around the face refract light evenly and beautifully. For curly haired ladies, blow-dry hair with a diffuser, then use a curling iron to help keep rogue curls from jutting off in different directions.

Keep Ends Tidy You MUST go for a trim trip every six to eight weeks for healthy hair. By keeping split ends at bay, you’ll prevent breakage from reaching the roots. A little trim goes a long way to help you and your hair shine!
