The perfect updo often requires a few more strands than you’re naturally sporting, so don’t be afraid to use hair pieces and add on.

When choosing an at-home haircolor, do your research. You want to look for a color line that has the lowest amount of ammonia.

Choose silicone-based products. When silicone is heated up, it’s pliable, but when it’s dry, it’s flexible, so you don’t receive breakage.

When washing color-treated hair remember to use cooler water. Hot water opens the hair cuticle, so you’re washing that color down the drain.

Preserve your haircolor by shampooing every other day, and on alternate days run a conditioner through and rinse it out.

Prep hair before coloring to be as healthy as possible—the more moisturized, the better it’s going to hold the color.

Avoid using alcohol-based products because they open up the cuticle and dry out the hair.

The one great thing about the winter is the absence of heat and humidity, so women can buy more time between shampoos. Try washing every other day.

Static got you down? It’s caused by an absence of moisture, so really good conditioning treatments will contribute to controlling static.

EVA LA RUE

Heating up the TV lineup is Eva LaRue who plays lab/field investigator Natalia Boa Vista on CBS’ CSI: Miami. The Emmy-nominated actress may have had her fair share of haircolor changes and style switches, but we’ll always look to Eva for style inspiration because, let’s face it, she’s got great hair! Here, the gorgeous star takes a break from filming her hit television show for an exclusive photo shoot with Sophisticate’s. “It’s not curly, and it’s not straight,” Eva tells us about her stunning tresses. “My hair is naturally kinky in an awkward way that is just pretty.”

Playing Haley on ABC’s Modern Family, Sarah Hyland knows a thing or two about getting gorgeous for the spotlight. Here, the young actress shares all of her mane musts with Sophisticate’s…
“I prefer a wavy style—it’s easier to deal with than curly hair.”
“I don’t really do my hair ever. I just let it air-dry and then let it be.”
“When I was 12 and playing Annie, I had to color my hair red!”
“My skin tone and eyebrows won’t allow me to go blonde so I never thought about it.”

AUDRINA PATRIDGE
Backstage Pass
Bongo Hires A Reality TV Bombshell
Audrina Patridge is the Bongo girl for a second season, and we can see why the brand brought the reality star back! Here, celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip reveals the secrets behind the star’s sizzling look…
Audrina’s Bongo shoot makeup was inspired by the Bond girl version of Raquel Welch, particularly the moment when she’s just stepped out of the water and is glistening.
A great makeup look always starts with the skin. I applied La Mer eye balm, mist and lotion to Audrina’s face and let it sink in before applying Armani Silk Luminous foundation.
A smokey eye doesn’t have to be black. I applied a sandy shade of Obsessive Compulsive eyeshadow on Audrina’s lid an smudged Korres eyeshadow in a copper tone in her creases and along her lash line.
To get Audrina’s shiny, sexy lip look I skipped the lip liner, laid down M.A.C. lipstick in Blankety and topped it off with a coat of M.A.C. lipglass in Revealing.

If you’re using a round brush to create bouncy body, leave the hair damp from mid-strand to end, then smooth with the round brush and put bend in the ends.
