Rocker Asymmetrical Crop…
When it comes to wearing your hair short, this “rocker asymmetrical crop” is on the list of upcoming trends for the fall season. While it is indeed a daring ‘do, the beauty of it (if you’re brave enough to take the pixie plunge) is its messiness. Rocker chic means no-muss-no-fuss!
Smoky Metallic Eyes…
At KaRu a little metallic shadow takes eyes from smoky to smoldering. Rim the eyes with black liner, brush a charcoal shadow over the lids and into the crease. Dust on a copper shade with a hint of shimmer. To make eyes pop—and hearts stop.
Big Voluptuous Hair…
For big voluptuous hair try applying a small amount of Second Day in your hands. Then add 3-4 sprays of Boosta Spray and mix together. Apply from roots to ends and blow dry with a round brush
The Low Side Part…
A low side part instantly adds sophistication and drama. At KaRu Salon we use the technique to punctuate the ’60s-inspired ponytails that are so hot for fall fashion!! After applying Unites Blow and Set Lotion to the hair, blow it dry with a boar-bristle brush, blasting the roots with extra hot air for additional height.
