Inside LAFW Spring 2018 With NuMe

MaryMe-JimmyPaul

The name says it all and we agree. We want these looks to marry our closets because who doesn’t love a good tease. Oh, behave. This collection draws a fine line, running in all directions, between culture, couture and creativity. With inspiration stemming from every decade following the 1960s, hairstylists brought life and volume to outlandish mashups of textures and fabrics emphasized further by the big hair. 

Each look started with a seemingly common hairstyle like the ponytail, bun and classic updo, and took it up a few notches into a chaotic but perfectly set style. Each hair served a particular purpose in molding the final look. To create your own MaryMe-JimmyPaul style, tease every bit of your hair from the bottom up and pin away. Remember to be gentle with your tresses when teasing to avoid hair damage over time. A root lifter such as NuMe Root Werk or NuMe Fresh N’ Fab Dry Shampoo Aerosol can improve the set of your base look before styling.

Get Your Facts Straight: A Complete Hair Straightener Guide for Your Hair Type

Do I Need Stone Ceramic, Tourmaline Ceramic or Titanium?

For an in-depth look at what to consider when deciding between tourmaline and titanium, check out our Classic Curling Wand vs Magic Curling Wand Guide. Here’s a quick breakdown on each of all NuMe materials to help you get started:

100% Stone Ceramic

  • Gentle, non-damaging heat styling.
  • Best for medium to thick hair types. 
  • Heats quickly and distributes heat evenly.
  • Because of the quality of pure stone ceramic, avoid dropping or banging these tools--they’re delicate.

100% Tourmaline Ceramic

  • Safe for any hair type - thin, medium, thick, and even dyed or damaged.
  • Perfect those who plan to style with a straightener every day, since tourmaline ceramic doesn't damage hair.
  • Tourmaline emits high levels of negatively charged ions, leaving hair smooth and conditioned.

100% Pure Titanium

  • For those with coarse hair, for special occasions, or for professional use.
  • Be advised this is a powerful material that provides an intense and even heat so it’s not meant for everyday use, especially on fine hair.
  • Please consult with a styling professional to find out if titanium is the right for your hair.

The Best Straightener for Curling Hair

Create the Curl of Your Dreams With the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener

It might seem strange to use a straightener to curl your hair. With all the curling wands out there, why would you even consider a straightener if coiled strands are what you crave? Well, it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. It’s easy to create glam, gorgeous, glossy, cascading curls with a straightener -- as long as it’s thin and has rounded edges like the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener.

In fact, beginners and those who are all thumbs when it comes to styling their hair find it easier and safer to curl with a straightener because fingers don’t touch the heated surface, just the outer coating. But when coiling strands of hair around a curling wand, the hot barrel is exposed, increasing the burn potential.
