Sleek & Straight with Dove®

A few weeks ago I partnered with Dove® Hair to show you how to create a sleek & straight look at home in less than 10 minutes! I’m so excited to finally share with you the video that Dove® Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend and I did in New York a few weeks ago.

The day of the shoot I washed my hair with Dove® Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, which left my hair pretty smooth and shiny. I usually don’t blow dry my hair and instead I let it air dry, this day was no exception.

Mark then applied Dove® Nourishing Oil Care Detangle on my dry hair to lightly condition it. And then the fun started! As you can see on the video, he sectioned my hair into top and lower layers before straightening it. Mark told me that one of the biggest mistakes people make is to take big sections of hair and straighten it, because the middle section never gets any heat and instead is just burning the top and bottom layers.

After Mark straightened my hair, he applied  Dove® Style+Care Frizz-Free Shine Cream-Serumwhich delivers nourishment of a cream with the shine benefits of a serum and it smells amazing too. This helped my hair look shiny all day long!

To finish things off Mark applied Dove® Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray to a natural bristle toothbrush to prevent any fly-aways. I love that this hairspray strengthens hair styles all day, providing extra hold without all the stiffness. Nothing worse than having your hair feel like a helmet!

Like Mark said, hairstyle starts in the shower so make sure you use great hair products such as Dove® Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Remember a nourished base is the foundation for a long lasting style. I hope you enjoy the video and tips.

Talking Fall Fashion Trends with People en Español

I'm so excited to finally share with you this video that I shot with People en Español and their Fashion and Beauty Director, Ursula Carranza a few weeks ago. We talked about my favorite Fall Fashion trends :-)

Spanish – Español

Super emocionada de finalmente compartir con ustedes este video que grabe con People en Español y su Directora de Moda y Belleza, Ursula Carranza donde hablamos de mis tendencias preferidas para este otoñ/invierno. Espero les guste :-)

Aqui estas algunas de mis tendencias favoritas (copia de People en Español ):

  • Estampado escocés o de tartán: "Es difícil de llevar. Asegúrate de que cuando te pones una pieza de tartán, [dejes] el resto del outfit más sencillo".
  • Abrigos extragrandes: "Esta temporada, atrévete y ponte algo más ceñido abajo".
  • Botas sobre las rodillas: "Me encantan porque son muy sexy. Las puedes usar con skinny jeans, con mallas o con minifaldas".
  • Cuero: "Una chaqueta de cuero es esencial y no va a pasar de moda".
  • Faldas midi o tres cuartos: "Creo que las minifaldas ya quedaron atrás. Usa [las faldas midi] con unos tacones y con algo que sea ceñido arriba".
