Being familiar with many stylists, barbers and professionals in the hair and beauty industry, from numerous ways and walks of life, there is an evident commonality amongst those that have reached the top, and as well those working their way to the top...and staying there. They have gained respect and admiration not only for their knowledge and artistic abilities and achievements, but also because they care. They care about people, and making others feel good. It's by their nature to care, it's what they do, and their success is commendation of them doing it well.

Redken's Wii Hair Styling Video Game

Always wanted to try your hand at cutting hair, but can't find any friends that will let your eager scissors near them? Well now, thanks to Redken, you can shampoo, cut, perm, color, blow dry and style with your Wii remote -- no unsuspecting Guinea Pigs required!

Taking advantage of the fast growing "Advergaming" market, Redken has teamed up with Game Publisher on the first video hairstyling game, Busy Scissors, that allows consumers to virtually experience the life of a salon professional.

Being released on the Nintendo Wii and DS in North America and Europe, you can use your Wii remote to transform the locks of demanding and eccentric "clients". You'll also learn the latest techniques in cutting, coloring and styling and earn points that will advance your career in a Hollywood-based salon.

The game challenges you to help each client reach her beauty potential by finding the best look. And with over 25 hairstyles to choose from, this is bound to unlock your true inner stylist. Each salon technique was demonstrated and filmed by stylists from the Redken team before it was re-created in 3D and designed as a mini-game.

With 46 percent of adults playing electronic games today and spending an average of three to four hours a week with the remote in hand, Redken may have found a solution for all of you aspiring stylists! Think about it, you could try a different hairstyle almost every day of the month without ever worrying about breaking out a hat if your scissors go awry. r

"We are excited to share the behind-the-scenes salon professional experience with our clients via Busy Scissors," Senior Director of Interactive for Redken, Rachel Weiss, stated in a press release. "Busy Scissors is a new way for consumers to connect and engage with Redken by allowing them to interact directly with Redken products in the virtual salon."

Busy Scissors will be available this month and retails for $19.99.

Rachel McAdams' Voluminous Hairdo - Get the Look Yourself!

An all-star cast walked the red carpet for the premiere of "Morning Glory" at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City last night, but it was leading lady, Rachel McAdams, who caught everyone's eye with her sexy new 'do.

Tousled, textured and teased, the 31-year-old actress' hair has never looked better -- or bigger.

McAdams' locks were styled by Sebastian Professional hairstylist Thomas Dunkin. After collaborating with her makeup artist and wardrobe stylist, Thomas created the voluminous coif with a punch of rock star glam which looked especially stunning against the star's gray hip-hugging Lanvin strapless dress.

In "Morning Glory," McAdams plays a hard-working news producer with longer, straight brunette hair. But now the Hollywood A-lister has brightened things up with a warm blonde hue that perfectly complements her bigger, bolder style.

In addition to joining other top stars like Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum in this romantic comedy, McAdams also joins a major pouf hair trend this fall.

Loving this chic, sexy look? We are, too!

Thomas shares his step-by-step directions on how to get it:

1. Saturate freshly washed hair with Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray for heat protection and soft volume.

2. Blow dry hair using your hands to tousle and lift random sections while twisting hair in different directions until nearly dry.

3. Place hair in very large Velcro rollers in a brickwork pattern for maximum root lift. Complete drying with a diffuser, then allow the rollers to cool and set.

4. Remove rollers and apply a sparse amount of Sebastian Professional Matte Putty through the ends of the hair. Apply another blast of heat with the hair dryer to work up the hair's texture by massaging the roots with finger tips.

5. Part the hair low so that a big section of fringe falls sensually over one eye. To exaggerate the style and build up the shape, set the style with Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper by spraying into the stream of hot air from the hair dryer.

6. Apply Matte Putty again loosening the look with your hands and defining the sections for a disheveled but modern edge.
