crimson beauty
Complement your favorite LBD with an artfully tousled updo, splashed with a daring shade of red. Create pin-straight textured with a flat iron, then smooth defining wax through tresses to piece out locks. Secure into an updo, allowing shorter layers and fringe to hang free. Voila!

In Feb. 2013 Matrix came out with their new colors at the Orlando Marriott.The Photographers for your magazine were there to do the photos of the 200 models after the hair and makeup was completed. We were told that is was supposed to come out in the Spring issue but when I check out the clip n snip section, I didnt see any of the models I remembered. Did you put any of them in your magazine and if so, which issue. I was one of the makeup artists.
Hi Dawn:
We’ve been running some in each of our issues!
Hi everyone! I’m haveing my hs graduation in a few weeks and a party shortly thereafter (like in 30 minutes!). It’s going to be more of a semiformal event, so I was wondering if there was a simple but really pretty half-up half-down style I could get done really quickly… I have hair about three inches past my shoulder. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Monica:
We run special-occasion hair in each issue; please pick up our newest edition and congrats!
A spiky upswept hairdo? Come on, adding some bobby pins more, make that a few.

Hi Chris! Every issue of Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide is special, of course! We’re published eight times a year so you can regularly find us on the newsstands.
i had found a hairstyle on the magazine of june july 2011 and wanted to see if they have the back view to it? i need it asap!
Hi, Cecilia!
Because there are so many great hairstyles to feature, we can’t always publish every angle of a given hairstyle. Try taking the look to your stylist, who will have the skills to create a fabulous look for you, similar to the one you see in the photo.
I need help at my job i have to have my hair up and my hair is long but i have no clue what to do with it other than put it up in a pony tail and i really don’t like that please help me.
Hi, Danielle!
Have you ever tried to wear a chic chignon? A simple bun glams up the ponytail look. Or perhaps you could try the wrap-around ponytail! When you’re putting your hair up, leave a small section loose. Take that bit of hair and wrap it around your ponytail. Secure with a bobby pin and you’ve got a hip new style!
these styles r very….uhhhh….modern! i lil’ too modern. can need a classic twist on them!
