First blonde, then rose gold and now red: It seems Sienna Miller has been having some fun changing up her hair color. Red is one of the toughest colors to keep vibrant since it fades the fastest, but you can keep your red striking with a little help from Eufora's Beautifying Elixir's Color Revive Radiant Red.

What it is: Color Revive is a weekly color refresher for hair that helps keep it vibrant between color sessions. Color Revive can be added to your favorite conditioner or hair mask. This means you don't have to change up your current routine. So, you can keep using your preferred products and you don’t have to purchase additional conditioning treatments. And, best of all, Color Revive contains ZERO ammonia and peroxide, which can damage hair.

How to: Just add 2-4 pumps to your conditioner or masque of choice, leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse. That’s it! 

Tips: Eufora’s Color Revive can be used on natural hair as well, so for those that want to consider going red like Sienna, but are scared of committing, this is the perfect way to find out if another color suites you. Not a redhead? Eufora’s Color Revive also comes in Brilliant Blonde and Bold Brunette!

2 runway hairstyles you can do in under 5 minutes each
By Carla Snuggs

Everyone runs late in the morning every once in again, but that doesn't mean you have to look like you just rolled out of bed. You can look runway ready in just under 5 minutes! Here are two top Spring 2014 hair trends seen on the runway with tips to recreate them from Warren-Tricomi’s co-owner and master hair stylist, Edward Tricomi. 5 minutes and you're our the door!

THE LOOK:  TOUSELED FRENCH BRAIDS

SEEN AT: Rachel Zoe, Nicole Miller
Running late for work? Utilize your hair’s natural texture with an effortlessly cool braid.

Get the look: Don’t fret - Edward Tricomi recommends working L’Oreal Professionnel Mousse Volupte ($22.50, LPSalons.com) from roots to ends to create volume and texture

Step 1: Rough dry and finger comb – don’t use a brush

Step 2:  Starting at the crown, loosely braid hair, getting tighter as you work down through the lengths and ends of the hair.  “The more unkempt, the better,” says Tricomi

Step 3:  Rub hands over braid to create friction and texture

Step 4:   Pull hair at nape of neck and braid to loosen

Step 5: Finish with L’Oreal Professionnel Infinium 2 hairspray ($24.50, LPSalons.com)

THE LOOK: SECURED PONYTAIL

SEEN AT: Vera Wang, Victoria Beckham

The classically sporty ponytail feels refreshed when accessorized with a basic headband for a simple, casual glamour look.

Step 1:  Start with freshly blown out hair and gather hair about one inch from the neck into a low pony.

Step 2:  Secure ponytail with an elastic

Step 3:  Place headband over the head and pull ponytail halfway through to create a small bun

Step 4: Leave the ends of hair out

Step 5:  Finish with L’Oreal Professionnel Infinium 2 hairspray ($24.50, LPSalons.com) to flatten any flyaways

For an alternative headband, Edward suggests cutting off the legs of old tights and wrap around the hair. Use any color for a playful look

The hottest hair trends for winter 2014
By: Carla Snuggs
 

Winter is well under way, so if you haven’t already it’s time to transition into this season’s hottest hairstyles. The latest hair color and hairstyle trends for this winter are simple tweaks that will really help update your look.

We know because Posh  Beauty Blog tapped two leading expert hair stylists for the inside scoop about on-trend hairstyles: Frederic States, Senior Hair Colorist at RIK RAK Salon, Miami and Celebrity Hair Colorist Los Angeles and Jesse Jones, Senior Hair Cutter at RIK RAK Salon, Miami. Here are the best hair trends for Winter 2014.

Color Trends

Frederic States says:

1) The over lightened Ombre effect is out. Opt for a softer version that is more suitable for your maintenance level and looks more natural.  

2) Sporting a dark base color is no longer in fashion.  Go back to your natural hue or a shade a tad lighter to brighten up your face. 

3) Softer more natural-looking high-lighting is back (and replacing Ombre trend).  Sun kissed stands looks better than over done hair that has too much contrast. 

4) If you don't like the grey hair, then change it.....Your hair will look brighter, shiny and prettier!

Hairstyle Trends

                       

Jesse Jones says:

1)  Bangs are in for the season. If you already have bangs let them grow longer or just have wispy pieces around the face. If you're just cutting them, make sure to keep them long. 

2) With the surge of Hollywood Pixie cuts, shorter hair is in. For those not daring enough to chop off their locks like Jennifer Lawrence, bring up the length up for a fresh look that is great for Spring.  

3) Razor haircuts always look more blended than blunt cuts, even on long hair.  It allows hair to have a better flow. I find that shoulder length hair is easier to handle for most women so mid-length razor cut is a great look for Spring. 

4) Ladies, no more flipping hair, just toss it about it to look airy and light at any length.

Hair tutorial for softly styled retro curls and waves by Stephanie Scuoppo
By Carla Snuggs

It’s a brand new year, so why not start it off with a fresh new look? We were mesmerized by the hair and makeup on Spring/Summer 2014 runways, especially one of 2014’s key hair trends: softly styled waves with a deep side part.

The look is sort of 70s glam, yet modernized and super sexy. Posh Beauty Blog looked to Stephanie Scuoppo, hair design expert at The Salon and Spa at Saks Fifth Avenue to get the look rocked by the stunningly gorgeous models in the SS14 Ruffian, Holly Fulton and Maria Grachvogel shows. Here is Stephanie’s hair tutorial so you can get the look, step by step:

Step 1: Start with freshly washed hair and apply a light weight blow dry gel (Stephanie uses Kerastase Forme Fatale $35, Keratase-usa.com).

Step 2: Blow dry completely.

Step 3: Use a tail comb to create a low side part using your eye brow arch as a guide.

Step 4: Set hair using a 1-1/2 inch wide curling iron or large hot rollers (such as T3 jumbo or Caruso). Take 1 to 2 inch sections starting on each side of part. Roll downward and secure with clamp if you’re using rollers or use heavy duty Bobby pins if you’re using a curling iron.  Set all hair in manner described above.

Step 5: Once all hair is set, begin removing pins/rollers starting with the first ones. “The idea is to have a loose wave so it should not set too long,” says Stephanie.

Step 6: Use a very wide-tooth comb to sort of 'rake' through the hair giving an un-done look.

Step 7: Finish with a light mist of spray (Stephanie uses Kerastase Laque Couture $35)
