Get Lindsay Lohan's Look - Tip of the Day!

We were lucky enough to score an interview with some lovely ladies, Nikki and Riawna, from the Ken Paves Salon in Hollywood. Between the two of them, they have tons of experience, an amazing knowledge bank on the topic, and a crazy client list to boot (think Lindsay Lohan, Colin Farrell, and Eva Longoria). So I rolled what we got from these two into a week's worth of tips so you can look like you just walked out of the Ken Paves Salon. 

Lindsay Lohan's long hair is one of her most recognizable features (aside from her beauty, curves, and much gossiped love life of course). Nikki and Riawna, the Ken Paves Salon Great Lengths extension power team, are the hands behind Lindsay's long, gorgeous locks. So just how do they keep Lindsay's hair looking right?

"She keeps her hair looking long, thick and healthy by using Great Lengths Extensions and Coppola (a permanent smoothing treatment)," the duo says. "She either lets her hair dry naturally for a beachy wave or adds a couple tousled curls with a 1 and 1/4 iron. Nothing too perfect, always a little disheveled – that's just Lindsay ... her signature." 

Riawna says you can get Lindsay's look with just a few simple steps. 

1. "Smooth the hair." Even if you don't get a Coppola treatment like Lindsay, any smoothing styling mousse will work. 

2. "Curl with the iron in a vertical position, wrapping around and using a bigger iron versus a smaller one. Wrap in all different directions to make it look imperfect." And, Nikki notes, "just wrap. Don't even open the clamp. The clamp can make hair kink."

3. Next, grab some surf spray. "Bumble and Bumble makes a good one," says Riawna. Then shake the hair out to get that messy, wavy look. 

"This works best on people with long hair that's already wavy or curly," Riawna notes.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week: Backstage Beauty at Max Azria

SHOW: Max Azria MAKEUP: Gucci Westman for Revlon HAIR: Laurent Philippon for Bumble and Bumble BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Gothic romantic warrior 

THE SCOOP: "This season feels fresh, confident and optimistic," said Westman. "People are conscious and aware that everything will be OK, but at the same time you don't want anything that's too opulent. I'd feel odd doing a look that's extra rich and polished at the moment." Max Azria's collection featured very detailed clothing with lots of black, and Westman created a certain hardness in the girls, to look appropriate in the clothing. Eyes were the focal point with lots of black kohl, with gloss on top of the lids for shine. Skin shimmered with highlighter, and lips were nude but healthy with a dab of balm. The hair looked gorgeous in a tousled, twisted bun. "I wanted the hair to look tight but nothing too slick and finished," said hair stylist Laurent Philippon. "I wanted it to look very organic."

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Philippon spritzed hair with Bumble and Bumble Prep, before sectioning hair into about five different braids and blowing them dry with a hairdryer. This tactic gave the hair amazing wave and texture. Philippon removed the braids, ran Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax through the hair and separated the top section into a twist. He wound the bottom section into a bun, to which he joined the twisted top section, fastening them together with bobby pins.

By Annie Georgia Greenberg for Refinery 29

What is your fashion history with Catherine Holstein? Cate ... err ... sorry!Catherine and I are the oldest friends! I love to shop with her because she has a phenomenal sense of style, and it really comes through in this collection.If you designed a clothing line how close to Catherine's would it be? It would definitely not be as cool or as fashionable. 

Which of the newest pieces are are we most likely to see you wearing?Well, I'm actually wearing one of her shirts right now, not sure if it's new but other than that I love the low cut, black crushed velvet dress.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week - Backstage at Richie Rich

SHOW: Richie RichMAKEUP: Kabuki for M.A.CHAIR: Jeanie Syfu for TRESemmeBEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Marylin Monroe meets Edie Sedgwick

THE SCOOP:The season marked the return of a Richie Rich designed collection to NY Fashion Week, but the fashion darling was not back as one half of Heatherette. He was instead presenting a solo collection. While the clothes were noticeably more wearable than his Heatherette fantasy pieces, the hair and makeup stayed true to his previous label's sense of fun. As hairstylist Jeanie Sayfu explained "the inspiration was about Marylin Monroe and Marie Antoinette and how they became more refined as they got older. The show is going to be telling the story of a cool punk rock chick growing up and become a polished woman." For the punk side Sayfu created a cornrow-sided faux mohawk and for the refined women a full-bodied curl set. To recreate the curled look on your own Sayfu says "Teasing is a really cool technique to add volume to any curl set. For a less dramatic result, don't tease it all the way to the end, but tease it at the root before you set the curl. The heat actually activates the tease so you get this really pretty full set of curls as you brush it out."

The makeup team took their inspiration from the imagined meeting of two beauty icons, Marylin Monroe and Edie Sedgwick. The result is a look that's big and bold but also playful "almost like the two of them did each other's makeup" explained the M.A.C lead artist. To take the look off the runway the M.A.C team suggests you "only line the bottom of the eye and then do a strong brow. Anyone with that hard pulled down smoky eye automatically has a bit of attitude in their look. To get a smoky bottom eye use a soft eyeliner and then a fine brush to smudge it and smoke it out."
