You read that right - you can reach the ‘King of Big Hair’ right here on GlamBlush, as he’s my guest blogger for the month of July!

A little background on my mane man…

Self-taught in the artistry of “bouffantery,” Danilo uses nothing more than a Mason Pearson hair brush and a rat-tail comb to create outlandish styles both in front of and behind the camera. Danilo’s ultimate knowledge and insight into the world of hair care and styling has made him a must-have for musicians like Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love, and Christina Aguilera. In addition to his celebrated (and voluminous) music video creations, Danilo has worked behind the scenes at high-profile events such as the VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, and the 2003 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Gwen Stefani and Shania Twain. You may also recognize him as the hair stylist from seasons three and four of America’s Next Top Model with Tyra Banks. Haute couture fashion runways in New York, Paris, and Milan? Oh yeah, he’s been there too. Most recently, Danilo has launched a line of synthetic hair called Put-On-Pieces, to help bestow body and va-va-voom to the average girl’s hair. Says Danilo, “My passion is creating unique styles that make a woman feel beautiful, and the first step to that is taking proper care of hair with daily conditioning and healthy hair maintenance.”

Got questions about your curls? Email curl concerns to the master himself at beautyeditor@glam.com or, leave a comment below. BONUS - If your question is chosen, you’ll win a collection of Pantene hair products (he is their in-house expert/celebrity stylist after all)!

Peace, love, and hairspray.

It feels like just yesterday I decided I finally liked Keira Knightley as Kate Moss’s replacement as the face of Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle.

Now comes the news that Emma Watson, the 18-year-old Harry Potter actress just signed a two-year contract worth $6 million with Chanel to promote the scent, beginning in September.

More details will be disclosed next month.

Think fast: What looks better than summery, just-pinched cheeks? Answer: absolutely nothing! For indoor afternoons when the only breeze in your hair is the chill of an AC vent, apply Tarte Natural Beauty Cheek Stain for a subtle flushed glow. This magic sunshine-in-a-tube is an all-natural version of Tarte’s award-winning cheek stain. Using your fingertips, a sponge or direct application, rub the stain onto your cheekbones, smudge to perfection, and voila! A sheer summer-berry flush, just like Elisha Cuthbert’s.

Tarte Natural Beauty Cheek Stain employs pigments from fruits including pomegranate (high in anti-oxidants and vitamin C) and goji berry extract (a nutrient-dense berry known as the “superfruit”—impressive!). The little tube also includes pure minerals, like acerola extract and maracuja that have properties to regenerate cells, reduce redness and inflammation, and soften skin. If you aren’t already sold, the stain holds additional “skinvigorating” benefits— it’s all natural, preservative and sulfate free, antioxidant rich, and has a berry-licious natural fragrance.

Not looking for rosy cheek-apples? Dab the stain on your lips for a pretty pink pout. See - this little miracle tube does a little something for everyone!

Available at Sephora.com for $28.

According to WWD, Queen Latifah’s collaboration with Parlux Fragrances Inc. is truly fragrance royalty. Latifah, a veteran to beauty products, moves from aesthetics to scent with her new woman’s fragrance—targeted towards the urban market, as well as middle-aged consumers. She sees fragrance as an expression of love: a woman’s confidence, sensuality, and strength. Parlux hopes to use Latfiah’s “wide appeal from the theater to pop world” to draw a broad audience from specialty stores to department stores (where the fragrance will be sold). In accordance with the global licensing agreement, the award-winning actress, rapper, and singer will launch the as-yet-to-be-named fragrance in fall 2009.

Color, when done correctly, can be timeless – no matter the shade. Whether looking at Hollywood starlets of the past or present, one thing is certain – gorgeous, shiny hair stands out.

Blonde: Marilyn Monroe & Gwen Stefani

Marilyn and Gwen are two of my favorite bleach blonde babes… so glamorous! They never have roots, their color is always maintained - no matter where they are. Shiny, beautiful, conditioned hair is how you can keep a look like this timeless. When your hair is this blonde, it is important to take care of it, always condition. Being this blonde - you should always have your hair and makeup done, and dress camera ready!

Brunette: Elizabeth Taylor & Catherine Zeta Jones

Both women make dark brown hair look exotic and sexy! Brown hair can sometimes look boring, but not on these ladies! Their manes always have a rich chocolate brown color, that’s super shiny and always done!

Red: Rita Hayworth & Debra Messing

Redheads to me are attention grabbers. There aren’t many of them, and it takes a strong personality to pull it off. Both these women wear the perfect shade and tone of red to match their complexions and personalities. Deep, rich gorgeous tones - they leave their mark everywhere they go. You will not forget a sexy redhead when you see one!

xx, Rita Hazan

I think she looks fab with bangs and longer hair…

When you see this sleek bob worn by Aussie actress Cate Blanchett in her new role as Russian dominatrix named Agent Spalko in the new Indiana Jones installment, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, what comes to mind?

Would she be your friend, or a foe?

As told by Blanchett to Parade magazine recently: “I’ve got the ugliest hairstyle I’ve ever seen. If that doesn’t send signals that she’s the villain then there’s no point.”

“Once I got into [the role though], I actually found it quite liberating playing a really bad girl because you can sort of do anything you want.”

What say you GLAMonistas? Does a badass bob make you a badass chick? (If so, I’m totally rocking the wrong hairstyle.)
