I am loving my Remington T|Studio Silk straight irons and clipless curling irons. I can do a variation of looks with the straight iron, from stick straight to easy waves, by rocking the iron back and forth. I can make a random bend in the hair to a spiral curl by wrapping it around the straight plates. When I'm doing curls, I really enjoy working with the T|Studio Silk clipless wand series because it makes the curls come out looser than a traditional curling iron. I usually leave the ends out of the hair from the iron to make the waves and curls look more relaxed. With clipless you make that look happen easily.

I'm addicted to the Remington T|Studio Oval Waving Wand! I can create several looks with this one tool from smooth and straight to just a little bend on the ends of the hair or irregular waves throughout the hair. The variety of styles you can create with this one tool is endless! 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　

Here is my favorite technique for curling hair:

    1.  Section off the head into three sections 1) top of head 2) left side 3) right side.              Sectioning makes curling your hair faster and easier.

    2. I start at the bottom neck area usually with a smaller barrel iron to begin (I prefer           the Remington T|Studio Silk slim conical iron). I do a tighter curl at the neckline             which gives support to hold up the other waves that will be sitting on top of this             section of hair. 
 

    3.  Wrap hair around iron and repeat. When you get to the mid section of your hair              begin to wrap your hair around the center section if the conical iron.
 

    4.  Finish ironing the top section and your bang area with a variation of the largest              section of the barrel and then the next section with the middle section of the                barrel. This will give the overall look of a variation of texture in your curls which            always look more natural and not a uniformed curl.

The most common hair mistake I see is over-styling! Remember K.I.S.S.! With the proper cut for you and the correct products and tools, maintaining your hair will be a pleasure. People often remember people for their hair, how it's cut, the health and the sheen of it. I know it's my work, but I often hear people say they didn't recognize someone because they changed their hair. Be gentle to your hair, keep overuse of product to a minimum, ease up on teasing or over chemically processing and give it the ionic tools it deserves to keep it as healthy as possible. I'm all for a good all-out glam look, but keep that for special occasions. Keep your day-to-day life hair beautiful and simple, which leaves a long lasting impression. 　

This especially true for today’s busy women looking for quick and easy ways to turn a day look into a night look. I always recommend what I call "convertible hair" (changeable easy styles). If you wear your hair long and straight to the office or school, in the evening do a ponytail or a loose bun or even a loose French twist. Curly and wavy hair girls can do the opposite because they have natural texture on their side. Try a loose bun by day, down and wavy by night. Options are always what you want to strive for with minimum maintenance.

Last night's 2012 Golden Globe Awards were not only full of show stopping performances, but breathtaking new looks! Celebrity stylist, Richard Marin, is sharing how he styled two of Hollywood's leading ladies - Tina Fey and Michelle Pfeiffer.

For the 2012 Golden Globes, I went for simple, beautiful blown-out movable hair for Tina Fey.

1. I began my blow dry by applying Creme for Style by Oribe on damp hair.

2. I then used Remington's T|Studio Pearl Ceramic Professional AC Hair Dryer with a bore bristle round brush to complete the blow-out. Combining the three products gave me the ultimate shine and locked in hair that holds the memory of a blow dry shape, but still allows movement.

3. After blow drying, I sprayed Royal Blowout by Oribe on Tina's blow dried hair.

4. Next I used Remington's new Style Therapy: Keratin Therapy 1 ½" Clip-Free Curling Iron. This sealed in shine, and gave a soft bend in the hair and also blocked out any humidity.

5. To finish I flipped the hair upside down and sprayed Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray by Oribe, flipped hair back into place, and off she went!

To create Michelle Pfeiffer's updo...

1. I sprayed Maximista Thickening Spray by Oribe and flipped her hair forward and blow dried with Remington's T|Studio Pearl Ceramic Professional AC Hair Dryer until hair was completely dry. This gave me maximum volume!

2. I then took 3x4 inch sections of the hair and sprayed Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray by Oribe and used Remington's Style Therapy: Keratin Therapy 1 ½" Clip-Free Curling Iron.

3. Next, I pinned my curls in place until they cooled off. Once cooled, remember to remove pins and shake your hair, A LOT.

4. To give Michelle's hair all over amazing texture, I sprayed Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray.

5. I pulled her hair back into a low, loose ponytail held with a hair-safe elastic band and double looped the ponytail to create a loose bun.

6. I pinned loose pieces of hair and also pull out pieces of hair around the face to give it a carefree undone look.

7. To finish the style, I spritzed a mist of Superfine Hair Spray by Oribe and she was ready!
