Disney beauty Selena Gomez looked adorable in a gathered sequined silver hued mini dress that glimmered against the light on the Red Carpet.  The mass of sequins caught the light during the actual AMA ceremony when she glided onto the stage presenting an award.

The silver hue of her gown was a perfect contrast to her dark hair and peaches and cream complexion.

The short sassy belted dress was designed by Talbot Runhof although the 17-year-old Wizards Of Waverly Place confessed on the Red Carpet she didn’t know how to pronounce the name of the label.

Selena’s Hairstyle

The cutie wore her silky and shiny raven black tresses with a side part and a pulled back, side-swept off-the-forehead fringe which cascaded into a gorgeous curly, sexy, tousled hairdo which extended just past her chin.

Soft curls were added from the top of the ear to the ends to showcase her precision cut longer layers and achieve a perfectly balanced finish.  Selena’s hairstyle can be easily re-created with medium sized hot rollers, a wet set or a medium barrel curling iron.

How To Instantly Recreate Selena Gomez’s AMA Hairstyle

If you love Selena’s hairstyle and want to re-create it but don’t have the patience to wash, blow dry, hot roll or hot iron you have the option to instantly recreate her hairstyle by utilizing a clip-in HairDo Hair Extension from the Ken Paves/Jessica Simpson line.

You have the option to clip-in either a 100% human hair extension that is the same length as Selena’s or you can go with a pre-curled synthetic version in a wide range of colors.  You can match the clip-in to your own fringe and hairline hair hues. (more…)

If you’ve been reading any of my Blogs (Hollywood & Mane, HairBoutique Blog) or my regular columns in 101 Celebrity Hairstyles, Short Cuts Magazine, HairBoutique.com or The Examiner over the past 10 years you may already have read enough about Robert Hallowell to last you a lifetime.

I find Robert, or Robair to his friends, so incredibly fascinating I can’t stop covering his life which is truly like living in a reality show. Yes, I have written volumes about many many other famous hairdressers, but I still keep circling back to Robert on a constant basis.

Of course I understand their concerns.  One misquoted comment could destroy an up and coming hair, make-up or fashion styling in an instant.   They could be drummed out of Hollywood forever.

Robert named his hair company The Kitchen Beautician because he so often ends up working in the kitchens of his celebrity clients’ homes, sometimes using ingredients out of their cabinets.

I have had the pleasure of hanging out in Robert’s famous kitchen on more than one occasion and for hours on end while his beloved pets - Ava the dog and her two cat siblings, Precious and Sweetpea, wander through towards the outdoors set in the amazing patio/deck built high into the hills of LA.
