Teach Me Tuesday-Kevin Murphy, the products and the man behind them

We have all tried and tested different hair products that promise to give us everything we ever wanted and more in our hair

...unfortunately many products are all talk, do not deliver, and we end up resorting to a messy bun

Well search no more! 

Kevin Murphy has solved all of your hair woes with his line of exceptional hair products that do EXACTLY what they say they are going to do with out building up, weighing down or leaving us little option but for a messy bun.

Let us introduce you to the man...

Kevin Murphy is one of the worlds most respected and sought after hairstylists.

With a long career spanning fashion, runway, editorial and film; everyone wants to work with him or be worked on by him!

Many iconic styles that we are seeing today on celebrities, in magazines, and TV are the result of Kevin Murphy's magic hands.

Let us show you some product must-haves for jealous worthy locks

Starting with the hair resort lotion...

Described as a 'texturiser for a messy beach look that defines long and fine hair'

 Oil free, so not to weigh the hair down, this sexy surfer style defies gravity

Spoil yourself with conditioned, smooth, shiny hair; use Young.Again!

Young. Again adds shine and protects your hair from hot tools along with our harsh environment 

A staple in all hair kits, closets and cabinets!

Shake and Sprinkle

...That's all it takes to use one of our absolute fave Kevin Murphy products

Powder.Puff

This little product has often tried to be imitated and duplicated but has never been successful.

Kevin Murphy's is by far the best product of it's kind on the market

Used as a powder volumiser, this product will give you volume and texture that just does not quit!

Offering a little grit to 'too clean hair', lifeless locks will jump into action with just a little sprinkle

And to finish all styles off, a little hairspray is needed...

Mr.Murphy has got that covered too

Session.Spray is a strong hold finishing spray that provides weightless, lasting hold to any style creation

These 4 products do not even begin to scratch the surface of cool products Kevin Murphy has to offer

Teach me Tuesday-Beach worthy locks

Summer is still a few months away but in our minds it has arrived!

www.mulberry.com

Bright, bold colors are prominent this year in fashion. Bright clothing, bright lips, a punch of color on your lids with a winged liner or a punchy shadow color. 

But what to do with your locks this summer?

How about this...?

Or what about this?

That's right BEACH HAIR! Natural, flowy, sweet and oh-so easy! Low maintenance hair that looks great-Yes please!

To achieve these looks you NEED Kevin Murphy's products. Specifically the hair.resort spray and hair.resort beach texturiser. 

Here's what Kevin Murphy says about his Hair.Resort Spray 

"Get "a day at the beach hair" with this fragrant volumising beach hair spray. Honey, Citrus and Tangerine make this spray essential for sexy messy Surfer girls and messy sexy Surfer boys."

How to use: It's as easy as spraying it into damp or dry hair, scrunch and go!

What the appeal? This product is weightless, non-aerosol and gives soft, natural texture.

And more about the Hair.Resort beach texturiser

"A messy beach look that defines all hair types. An oil free texturiser for a sexy surfer look that defies gravity. Apply to damp or dry hair, scrunch in and you are good to go!" With Honey extract being the key ingredient, your hair will feel soft and have added flexibility.

How to use: Similar to the Hair.Resort Spray, scrunch the product into damp or dry locks-Now go play!

Why this product?

Gives a sexy beach look
Enhances curls
Paraben free
Strong hold volumiser
Works in seconds
Gives a strong hold to the hair
For all hair types

PRETTY. STYLISH. FASHION CAMP 2012 -WATCH FOR DETAILS

Fashion Friday- Blushing Beauty

Throw your bright colors aside this Spring and opt for subtle yet striking blush hues and nude tones

Blush in the Closet

Alexander Wang created this simply gorgeous dress!

This fun and flowy dress by Preen (Thornton Bregazzi) is great for a night on the town. Make it more casual by pairing it with a denim or leather jacket.

Marc Jacobs has done it again! 

This dress is young, fun and easy to wear- perfect for a long summer night!

Blush on your face

Blush tones can be worn on all skin tones...

A light dusting over the lids and cheeks can achieve a 'beautiful blushing' effect.

Line the water line with a white pencil to brighten the eye

A matte peachy tone creates a nude base on olive skin tones

Blush with a copper undertone on dark skin creates a gorgeous undeniable glow!

Blush on your hair

For the non-commital fashionista wanting a *POP* of color in their hair, session stylist Kevin Murphy created the 'color bug'

The color bug is easy to use AND it rinses out with water!

Try creating an 'ombre effect' by using the bug on your ends and mid shaft of your hair. 

The color bug can be used on all hair colors from your lightest of blondes to the darkest of chocolates

 Rachel 'cute-as-a-button' McAdams opted for around the face color placement in pink. A funky addition to her vintage-esque dress

Placing the color on random strands, roots-to-ends, creates a hilight effect. 

Try using multiple colors for some diversity! 

Don't get too wild though-less is more especially if paired with beautiful blush or nude threads and makeup.

So blush this weekend or play it nude-Either way, you'll be turning heads!

Happy Friday!

Much Love From,

The 'blushing beauties' at Artists Within
