The twins known as Jedward definitely know how to grab people’s attention. For weeks the twins have split the nation. One thing is sure they didn’t stand out on the TV show X-Factor because of their talent in singing. Even if you haven’t watched this year’s X-Factor series, it was hard to miss out on knowing the two boys and noticing their attention seeking hairstyle. Those impressive trademark quiffs have been copied by many, even celebrities such as David Beckham, Gwen Stefani and a mock up of our very own Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling.

Looking at the boys’ upstanding hairdo you may wonder how much hair spray is involved? How much time does it take them to create this look, who came up with the idea, why do they do it…..? Some of these questions we may never find out. Although the two, John and Edward, may lack in talent, they have definitely been entertaining & hilarious. Their uniqueness (not just their hairstyle) pulled in millions of viewers and I am sure that these two guys will be remembered for some time as one of the star performers of this year’s X-Factor series.

While Jedward got kicked out of the competition last week, they’ve definitely made a lasting impression.
Check out the video below - these 2 girls try to win the hearts of online viewers by applying the same strategy as Jedward (can’t sing but big hair!). Will it be the singing or the eye-catching hair that will make the video stand out and win the Murray’s YouTube contest? Decide yourself and give your vote if you like them.



Celebrity Hairdresser

Have you ever wondered who does the hair of your favourite celebrity? Find out who are the in-demand names amongst celebrity stylists.

There are serveral celebrity hairdressers in London who make our stars look fab. Now you can go to the same hair salons as them.

Who's doing the hair of the blondes Kate Moss, Kate Winslet and Madonna?

Nicola Clarke at John Frieda takes care of Kate Moss’s hair. If you are blonde or want to have lighter hair, Nicola is the person to go to. She has done Kate's colour for eight years. Besides Kate Moss, Madonna and Kate Winslet you could potentially also meet Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnsson or Gwyneth there.


If you're blonde and want to leave your hair in the hands of an expert here is the place to be. The John Frieda salon is located at 4 Aldford St, W1 London. To book an appointment call 020 7491 0840. Prices start from £190.

Leona Lewis and her curls
Leona Lewis trusts Ben Cooke at Leckonego when it comes to her hair. Ben is specialised in curls and crops and was also the one behind Victoria's POB. Prices start at £195. Lockonego is located at 394 Kings Road in Chelsea (phone: 020 7795 1798).

And who does the hair for Kelly Brook?
Kelly Brook with her natural glossy colour gets hers done at Carol Joy, where Daniel Galvin Junior looks after her hair. Daniel Galvin Junior is the son of Daniel Galvin, celebrity hairdresser who styled the hair of Diana and Margaret Thatcher. Getting your hair done here is probably the most expensive as prices start at £250 but the salon is definitely worth a visit, being quite hard to find it looks more like a luxury hotel rather than a salon.

Sexy colours for Girls Aloud

Each band member has her own hair style and they all look great. Surprisingly all girls go to the same hairdresser. It's Amie Wilson at Daniel Hersheson. You're in safe hands here whether blonde, brown or ginger. Appointments are also very affordable, only £60 to get your hair done.
Location: Daniel Hersheson Conduit St. WC1 London, phone: 020 7434 1747

mullet hairstyleI know, I know: when you here mullet you get goose bumps! But the mullet I am talking about is nothing like McGyver's or Kim Wilde's. This season mullet is getting an update!

Mullet "how to's":
The cut is pretty straight forward: your stylist should thin out hair at the top, leaving few longer sections falling over the shoulders. Make sure that your stylist uses a razor - this way the cut will last longer.
Styling: Mullet looks great when it's a bit messy so go for pomades and matt finish wax like TIGI Catwalk Catfight Texturizer.
Is it for you? Mullet works best for girls with fine, supple hair. (I deliberately say girls - men should stay away from this hairstyle!) Mullet suits best oval faces and long necks. Hair Craft recommends soft make-up to go with it - you don't want to look like you just escaped from the set of "Life on Mars" :)

Men's hair trends 2009 - Fringe

Wed, 10/29/2008 - 15:42 | 1 comment

Regency hair style from Burberry Prorsum's Men's Spring/Summer 2009Women's and men's fashion seems to go hand in hand, no surprise then that fringe will be a massive trend in 2009 men's hair styles! But don't worry guys - men's fringe comes in variety of lengths and shapes so you won't end up all looking like Kate Moss :)
The look:While the back end the sides stay neatly trimmed, the fringe should be longer, even eye-brow length. We like it best side swept, with layered detail.This textured hair style, with its longer fringe, is the 2009 incarnation of the 'Caesar cut', named after the hair style Roman dictator perpetuus Julius Caesar. To achieve this effect try using a matte wax or a pomade to create the rugged texture.

Kate Moss was seen last week sporting this medium length bob. No more fringe and the colour is the most fashionable this season platinum blonde.
Kate seems to have temporarily quit her trade mark messy hairstyle and went for stylish, sleek do with side parting - I think she looks like a spitting image of Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde"!Faye Dunaway

Kate Moss medium bob "how to's":
1. Cut - the simpler the better. Hair should be cut just above your shoulder;
2. Colour - If you are natural blond - good on you. If not, think twice before reaching for peroxide - blonde is not everyone's colour!
3. Styling - Give your hair some volume with volume spray or conditioner and blow dry it smooth. I wouldn't advise using straighter as we are not looking for this dead straight look!
