Straight from the Runway: Get an Extreme Hair Look

The hair this season on the runway was crazy fabulous! I loved the extreme hair looks that we saw (the photo above was taken backstage at Marc Jacobs -- literally the epitome of extreme glamour), and now thanks to two brand new products from Bumble and Bumble we can get the look as well! Bb. Gel and Gellac are the first gels in the Bumble and Bumble line that have been tested and perfected backstage at Fashion Week over several seasons. Bb. Gel can be applied, shaped, dried and easily brushed out to create amazingly soft shapes with memory and hold. It's also perfect for spring's neat, simple pony. Unlike most gels, this one won't leave your hair nasty -- it's the 80s look minus the damaged sticky hair and frizz:) The real gem for bold looks however is Gellac. It's Bb's new powerhouse product based on an editorial tool, Gafquat 732, which has traditionally been used to create extreme, shiny shapes for photo shoots, but is close to impossible to rinse out. That problem is solved with Gellac which can be removed with shampoo. My friend who has short hair tried Gellac (it's has a gel-like consistency) -- gave herself some spikes for fun! -- literally her hair was solid as a rock. If you're going for a bold look Gellac is a wonderful and quick way to achieve it, but just remember that it will set quickly and that a little goes a very long way!
