Back for Another Brazilian Blow Dry5.28.2009

nicole-richie-brazilian-blow-dry-0528096

Last night I got another Brazilian blow dry. Some of you may remember I’ve written about this treatment before. It has saved me so much time and ultimately has made my hair grow since I’m not putting direct heat on it everyday. I even got my mom to get one last night and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since.

I cannot recommend this treatment enough, it’s the best thing I’ve done in a while.

For those of you who are interested in trying out this amazing treatment, call the Andy LeCompte Salon at (310) 273-4100 and ask for Liz.

My Many Hair Colors5.2.2009

nicole-richie-hair-color-050209
I change my hair color all the time. I love experimenting with different looks. However, over the years, because I was changing colors so much, my hair was getting extremely damaged.

Since I had no plans of slowing down anytime soon, I needed to find a colorist that cared about the health of my hair as much as the color. I met Tracey Cunningham about 4 years ago. And I have to say, she is the best hair colorist I’ve ever worked with. She has changed my hair color so many times over the past 4 years, but managed to keep my hair in great shape in the process. Since I’ve been either pregnant, or nursing for the past 2 years straight, I haven’t been able to really change my hair all that much. But Tracey also works with color that is 100 percent safe for pregnant women, and has been keeping my color up.

She just recently opened up her own salon with Byron Williams called Byron and Tracey in West Hollywood. I couldn’t recommend someone more.

For those of you who are really into fashion, i wanted to share one of my favorite fashion sites; WhoWhatWearDaily.com. It’s an online magazine that I love. Some of my favorite sections are “Runway to Real Way” where they incorporate runway looks into real life, and ”Inspired by” where they show you how to get your favorite designer look for an affordable price. There’s something on there for everyone, you can spend hours on the site, I do .

JET JEANS4.1.2009

It’s so hard to find the perfect pair of jeans. Whether they are too long, too short, the color’s not right, I’m sure everyone knows what I’m talking about.

Being a mom, I tend to like clothes that are simple and easy; that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look my best.

Everything changed when I found Jet Jeans. The soft denim feels almost like I’m wearing leggings. And they have a sophistication about them that makes them perfect for both day and night.

My personal favorite are the denim Thrashed style, and I recently picked up a pair of the Splat jeans which look like they were splattered with bleach.

Jet Jeans are always my go-to. I can wear them with a t-shirt and flip- flops, or dress them up with heels.

BlackBook magazine3.21.2009

Here is a photo spread that I did for the latest issue of BlackBook magazine, on newsstands now.

This shoot was dedicated to the American designer and artist, Stephen Sprouse. Sprouse was known for pioneering the 1980’s mix of “uptown sophistication in clothing with a downtown punk and pop sensibility.”

This shoot was one of my favorites because I got to experiment with fashion and wear clothes that I would NEVER get away with wearing in real life.

It’s always fun to play dress up!

You HAVE to get a Brazilian blow dry!3.18.2009

A good friend turned me on to a new hair straightening method called the Brazilian blow dry and I’m completely inspired to share it with you!

I have curly hair and it can be quite a headache to deal with. If you have curls, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about—hours spent blowdrying and avoiding the rain and humidity. I always thought I could never be one of those girls who just leaves the house without doing her hair… until now.

I always stayed away from relaxers because they damage your hair. The Brazilian is different because it’s non damaging. I found out about it from my friend Hedi a little while ago and I’m never going back!

My stylist Liz at Andy Lecompte Salon in L.A. uses this product with Keratin and heats my hair to seal it in. It takes about an hour and the results last a few months!

My hair is smooth and STRAIGHT!

Now I have the freedom to not have to blow dry my hair every time I wash it. I can go swimming and not have to worry about frizz.

Not to sound cheesy, but I’m so glad to have discovered this and I hope you curly girls find this information useful!
