Halloween How-To: Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton Hairstyles

PICKING OUT YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISIONS YOU’LL MAKE ALL YEAR. LUCKILY, 2016 IS MAKING IT A LITTLE EASIER TO HAVE A BUZZ-WORTHY COSTUME (EVEN IF IT’S LAST-MINUTE) WITH THE CURRENT PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.

No matter your political view, it’s safe to say both candidates have iconic hair to make your halloween costume stand apart. Cricket Ambassador, Jet from Jet Rhys Salon shares her step-by-steps to achieve each of the candidates’ hairstyles.

Donald Trump Comb Over How-To
Cricket Ambassador, Jet from Jet Rhys Salon

Take the Silkomb Pro-50 to divide the hair at the crown to create a half-down / half-up style. Clip up the top section away from the rest of the hair.
Apply a quarter-size amount of gel (ABBA Style Gel) into your palm and emulsify with both hands. Distribute throughout the sides and back of hair.
With the Silkomb Pro-50, comb the bottom section of hair back and secure with bobby pins. Note: if the back of the hair is longer than the bottom of the neck, you will need to roll the ends inward until it is gathered at the nape of the neck. Secure with bobby pins.
Unclip the top section of hair and spritz with hairspray (MOP C-System Firm Finish Hairspray). Using the Amped Up Teasing Brush, take two inch sections and tease (or back comb) from roots to ends. Repeat this step throughout the top section.
Using the Centrix Heat Boss Paddle Brush, lightly brush the teased section in an S-shape (brush forwards then push it over to the one side to keep a lot of the teasing in the hair, but this is what gives the bang area the cotton candy effect). Spray the hair generously with hair spray (MOP C-System Firm Finish Hairspray).
BONUS: spray a temporary hair colored spray throughout. Orange or a gold orange would be the best!

Hillary Clinton Sleek Blow Out How-To

Apply a style spray (ABBA Style Spray) to damp hair.
Blow dry hair with the Centrix Heat Boss Small Thermal Brush, brushing hair backwards.
Once dry, start at the bang area on one side and begin taking one inch section. Use the Ultra Smooth Curling Iron and create big curls. Repeat to the other side until entire head is curled.
With the Centrix Heat Boss Paddle Brush, lightly brush through the hair. Spray generously with hairspray (MOP C-System Firm Finish Hairspray).
Take the tail end of the Silkomb Pro-50, separate the ends of the hair to create texture.
Finish by generously spraying hairspray (MOP C-System Firm Finish Hairspray) all over for hold.

Health | Super-hydrate Your Hair

Start by conditioning–yep, before cleansing (hear us out). Work a rich conditioner through wet strands from midshaft downward. “This coats hair, preventing shampoo from further drying out ends, which have likely taken a beating this summer from sun and chlorine,” explains Michelle Pasterski, head stylist at Mixed Co. Salon in Chicago. Leave the conditioner on while you shampoo. “You really only need to wash at the roots and along the hairline to remove oil sweat and product residue,” she says. Rinse out the shampoo and conditioner simultaneously. Yuma have heard that icy water lends shine, but a cold rinse actually makes it harder to get product out, notes San Diego stylist and salon owner Jet Rhys. “For a more thorough clean that still boosts shine,” she says, “keep water lukewarm.”

Master the Cold Blow-Dry

Flip your head over so you’re looking at the floor, then “use the cool setting to blow-dry your hair with he nozzle pointed down,” says hairstylist Jet Rhys, founder of the Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego. “This position encourages airflow, so your hair will retain less water and dry quicker.” This cold-only technique can double your styling time, but you aren’t baking your head. Think about it that way.

Beauty In The Bag | Meet Jet Rhys

Jet’s motto “look, study and attack” has made her an undeniable expert in the beauty industry. Evolving the looks of her clients by focusing on hair texture and bone structure, natural skin tones and color, she’s known for creating unique, signature styles that leave her clients looking gorgeous and feeling confident. Her level of knowledge and skill in contemporary hair styling technique has resulted in Jet Rhys Salon features in numerous fashion and beauty publications such as Allure, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
Beauty In The Bag spoke with Jet to learn more about her career and best hair-care tips.

1. You’ve been welcoming celebrities at your salons for years! How were you introduced into the hair business, knowing this was a passion you wanted to follow?

My career began at the age of five in my Gram’s beauty shop in Chicago. I would chat with and amuse the customers while my Grandmother worked. Since those humble beginnings, I have to say I still love my career so much. Not only are the clients absolutely amazing and fun, hair is always changing. That is what keeps this industry exciting!

2. What advice would you give a person who feels their hair is too damaged to fix?

The best advice is to cut the damage out. While conditioners and masks do help with hydrating the hair, this is only a temporary band-aid to the real problem. Cutting the damage out, you will see instant results. If you cannot part with your hair immediately, trim it in stages, like every four weeks. Having healthy hair at this pace may take six months or so.

3. What is one hair product you can’t live without and why?

Dry shampoo! It’s a real genie in a can! It instantly extinguishes bed head and any oil and magically makes your hair voluminous. To my clients that have gray, I also recommend colored powders for a little touch up between visits. I use Bumble and bumble dry shampoo.

Before you get all fancy-schmancy with your skills, you have to master the basics! Let us teach you how.

Apply Products Like a Pro

Never read the instructions on the back? Don’t worry, we’ll break it down for you.

HEAT PROTECTANT

Rake it through towel-dried hair to create a barrier between your hair and your dryer

DRY SHAMPOO

Spray or sprinkle it on your roots and let it sit for 30 seconds so it has time to absorb the oil. Then, brush it through.

HAIR SPRAY

Hold it at least 6” away when spraying. This way, the water will evaporate before it hits your scalp, so you aren’t adding more moisture.

MOUSSE

Cuba a silver dollar-sized blob between your palms and run your hands through superwet hair.

ROOT BOOSTER

Press the nozzle directly into your scalp and spritz. Repeat all over your head.

WAX

Work a dime-sized amount between your fingers and apply where needed.

How to Wash Your Hair Less Without Feeling Gross / dirty hair is pretty hair

by Alisa Hrustic

By now, you’ve probably heard that the less you shampoo, the healthier your hair will look and feel. That’s because lathering up frequently dehydrates the scalp and hair, making it really coarse, says Jet Rhys, celebrity hairstylist and owner of Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego.

But if you’ve been a once-a-day kind of gal forever, breaking the habit is easier said than done. For the first few weeks of less frequent washing, you might even notice that your locks feels a little grimier as your hair’s natural oils learn to acclimate—making you want to get your suds on even more.

Luckily, there are a few steps you can take to ease yourself into washing your hair less.

Go from Once a Day to Every Other Day

It’s all about baby steps. If you’re used to washing every day, Rhys recommends switching to every other day. If you really can’t part with your daily hair-washing routine (which is totally understandable, especially if you live at the gym), you can wet your hair without using shampoo. “The water is going to clean your hair,” says Rhys. “To help detangle it, use a little lightweight conditioner on the ends.”

Embrace Powders and Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is about to become your new BFF. And second day hair mixed with a spritz or two of dry shampoo often makes things easier to deal with, because it soaks up excess oil. Depending on if your hair is fine, curly, or somewhere in between, it might take a few tries to find your best match. “There are so many dry shampoos, but they are not all the same—some are really dry, and some over do it,” says Rhys. She recommends starting with Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk because it adds volume, texture, and has a clean scent. Good ‘ol baby powder works, too. Section your hair, give it a light sweep of powder, and gently work it in to the roots as a quick touch up.

Change Up Your Style

“Containing your hair is the best secret weapon if you don’t want to shampoo and don’t have a lot of time,” says Rhys. Avoid lathering up your locks by pulling them into a high ponytail, top knot, or side bun, while keeping a few pieces out to frame your face.

Have bangs? Tuck them away with a hairline or milkmaid style braid. If you’re not washing as frequently, the braid will actually hold better because the strands will have more grip to them.

“Keeping the hair swept away will disguise not having super clean, fresh hair,” says Rhys. The day or night before your next wash, utilizing accessories like headbands or scarves can help keep any oiliness out of the spotlight.

Martha Stewart Living | Rinse Cycle

Spring is all about new beginnings–and that includes your bathroom essentials. We’ve got your scrub-down strategy to refresh the tools you use very day and keep them tidy.

Hairbrush + Vinegar

Clean It Bimonthly

The Dirt Product residue and natural oil from your scalp build up on bristles, which then weighs down your hair, says San Diego stylist Jet Rhys.

To Clean Remove loose strands after each use by running another hairbrush through the bristles. (Or do as Martha does: Lift away mats with an orange stick.) To cut through dirt, Rhys recommends a deep-cleaning every few weeks by soaking the brush in one part apple-cider vinegar to two parts warm water. Then rinse it with warm water for a few minutes and let it dry overnight.

Replace It If the bristles are bent or falling out.

Choose your shampoos and conditioners as a “prescription” for your hair type

By Alisa Hrustic

Running out of shampoo and conditioner is definitely at the top of our list of shower-time mood killers. But running out of just one? The WORST. Don’t act like you’ve never slightly panicked after realizing you went through all of your conditioner and only used up half your bottle of ‘poo.

But it turns out your fears are totally unwarranted, because matching your shampoo and conditioner brand is not only unnecessary—it might stop your precious locks from reaching their peak #onfleek potential.

Say wha??? Nothing will ever be the same again.

Think about it this way: You should choose your shampoos and conditioners as a “prescription” for your hair type. Shampoos and conditioners come from all sorts of families (volumizing, cleansing, smoothing, and moisturizing, to name a few—all with different top-level ingredients), and rarely does a matching set suit your hair prescription, says Jet Rhys, owner of Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego. Choosing a solo product from different families is totally fine as long as you’re paying attention to your personal needs.

So, if your hair is feeling coarse, look for a smoothing agent. If your strands are finer, look for a volumizing formula. Pay attention to what kind of style you’re going for day-to-day, and adjust the formulas as you change up the texture. Want to give your fine curls a sleek blow-out? Switch from volumizing conditioners to silicone-based ones instead for smoother results.

“It’s almost like you’re treating two different hair textures,” says Nunzio Saviano, New York hairstylist and salon owner. “One is from the scalp to the mid-shaft, and [the other is from] the mid-shaft to the ends.” Saviano explains that if you have an oily scalp and dry ends, for example, you should use a ‘poo that works best for your roots and a conditioner that’ll help hydrate your ends. “It never has to be the same brand,” he says. Makes sense, right?

The only time you should be all matchy-matchy: if you’re dealing with dandruff or an itchy scalp, says Rolanda J. Wilkerson, Ph.D., a principal scientist for Procter and Gamble. That’s because using a more cosmetic conditioner with your anti-dandruff cleanser could reduce the scalp care benefits. (Wilkerson says that 60 percent of the active ingredient in Head & Shoulders—pyrithione zinc—is decreased on the scalp when you don’t follow up with the brand’s anti-dandruff conditioner.)

So there you have it. You are NOT committing hair-care sacrilege by mixing instead of matching. Take that, Ma!

The 10 Tricks For Perfect Hair That Celebrity Hairstylists Swear By

Prepare to cause major hair envy.

by Alexis Farah

With award season in full swing, gorgeous hair is taking center stage in a big way. But anyone taking a peek at all the behind-the-scenes mayhem (thank you, Snapchat!) can see that celebrity stylists often have to get creative when trying to achieve flawless hair in a pinch. Here, those mane gurus took a quick break to share their most surprising advice for recreating red carpet looks—as well as simple solutions to keep hair healthy.

1. Fake a fuller ponytail by doubling up.

“Fake thicker hair by stacking two ponytails close together, on top of each other in the back of your head.” – Jet Rhys, owner of Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego who has styled Faith Hill and Julia Roberts

2. Use a hair mask before you work out.

“Did you know the salt from your sweat can actually dry out your hair? If you apply the OUAI Treatment Masque before your workout, the ingredients push moisture into your strands and seal it in before the salt has a chance to dry your hair out. The heat from your workout will allow the mask the work deeper, then all you have to do is rinse and go!” – Jen Atkin, founder of OUAI and celebrity hairstylist whose clients include Khloe Kardashian and Jessica Alba

3. Moisturize your hair color twice a day.

“My golden rule for all my balayage and hair color clients: Every time you moisturize your face, also apply a few drops of light hair oil like Number 4 Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil from the middle of your hair to ends to keep it hydrated and silky.” – Chad Kenyon, celebrity colorist at The Benjamin Salon in Los Angeles who applies hair hue to Abigail Spencer and Elisabeth Moss

4. Remove excess product buildup with this handy trick.

“Simply run an alcohol-free hand wipe through your hair a couple of times. Not only will it remove excess product, but it will also freshen up the hair, removing odors without having to shampoo.” – Johnny Lavoy, PRO Beauty Tools celebrity hairstylist whose client roster includes Ariana Grande and Chrissy Teigen

5. Create beachy waves while you sleep.

“Lightly spritz dry hair with a salt spray like Rockaway from R+Co or a moisture mist like Oribe Foundation Mist. Twist hair into four flat Princess Leia buns (one above each ear, one at each side of the nape) and go to sleep. The style is super comfortable to sleep on and you can wake up and shake loose effortless beachy waves!” – Michael Angelo, founder and creative director of Wonderland Beauty Parlor who has worked with Brooklyn Decker and Susan Sarandon

6. Chill your leave-in conditioner for extra shine.

“One really cool (pun intended) tip for healthy hair is to keep your leave-in conditioner in the fridge. We have all heard of using the cool rinse to seal the hair cuticle and make hair shiny, well this takes it a step further for frizzy and unruly strands that never seem to have a lasting shine.” – Tippi Shorter, Aveda global artistic director for texture who works with Alicia Keys and Ciara

7. Short on styling products? Use conditioner instead.

“If you don’t have any styling cream, gel, or hairspray and are trying get a sleek pony or braids, use conditioner where you want to tame your baby hairs. I recently used this strategy on Shanina Shaik. We didn’t have any styling products or a comb so we used an eyeliner pencil to make a part and conditioner to tame the baby hairs.” – Jennifer Yepez, celebrity hairstylist whose work can be spotted on Gigi and Bella Hadid

8. Massage your scalp for extra volume.

“Massage your scalp! Blood flow to your scalp and roots positively affects hair growth and integrity. If your partner loves your hair, make them massage your scalp. I do this with every client on set. It’s great for body, volume, heart, and soul!” – Charles Baker Strahan, Herbal Essences celebrity stylist who has worked with Christina Applegate and Aubrey Plaza

9. Add some sweetener to your hair dye to protect the scalp.

“Believe it or not, Sweet ‘N Low isn’t just for your coffee! Although Matrix color is super gentle, some of my clients still get an itchy or irritated scalp. For that, I usually add a few packets of Sweet ‘N Low sugar to the hair dye while the color develops. This secret ingredient helps to neutralize the scalp from itching and irritation!” – George Papanikolas, Matrix SoColor stylist whose client list includes Naya Rivera and Kelly Rowland

10. Think outside the bottle to tame frizz.

“One of my favorite ways to get rid of flyaways is to spray a flexible hairspray, like Aussie’s Sprunch, and then roll the bottle over the hair to lock down the frizz! This trick works great on a smooth blowout or a sleek ponytail.” – Sarah Potempa, Aussie celebrity stylist who coifs Emily Blunt and Ashley Benson’s mane

Hairshow | 4 Most Common Long Hair Mistakes

Hair that falls to great lengths can be gorgeous, but when not properly cared for, it can become limp and straggly. To prevent seriously messed-up strands, avoid these 4 bad habits, warns Jet Rhys of her namesake salon in Solana Beach, CA:

NOT HAVING IT CUT EVERY 4-6 WEEKS.

When you skip trims, split ends will travel up the hair shaft, making locks look limp and straggly. You’ll eventually need to cut them off – goodbye length!

AGGRESSIVE BRUSHING.

“Long hair typically has a few knots and trying to remove them with too vigorous brushing will lead to breakage,” says Jet. A better way: Add leave-in conditioner while in the shower and let your hair air-dry, then gently work out tangles with a wide tooth comb, going from the ends to the roots.

PUTTING HAIR INTO A PONYTAIL WHILE IT’S WET.

That’s when it’s most fragile and it could break right off.

OVER-COLORING THE ENDS.

“The ends of your hair have been on your head for a long time and too much color will make them weak and cause potential damage.”
