Gatsby Gets Braided

The buzz is all about Gatsby.

And why not? The past few years, Roaring 20's style has been beautifully on trend. To celebrate the release of the film The Great Gatsby the nice folks over at Idojour asked us to come put our own braided twist on the iconic 20's style for their bridal ad campaign.

We couldn't be happier with the final result.

Festival Season Hair Guide

Coachella kicked off the summer festival season last month, and our girl on the scene, Maple, brought back the low down on all the hair trends and some great tips for hair care on your festival adventures. Whether you're more down with indie rock shows, reggae fests or hip-hop showcases, we've got you covered!

SUMMER FESTIVAL Trends:

1. BRAIDS

Braids were everywhere at Coachella. Fishtails, dutch girl crowns and funky french braids. For your summer festy, start off simple. Messy braids are super on trend. Get braided by Mishi before you go. No muss no fuss, you can spend your time listening to the music,not worrying about your hair. Pull it out for day two or three and have beautiful tousled waves.

2. COLOR

Bright wonderful fun colors are definitely an exciting summer statement. Teal was a showstopper at Coachella and definitely a Morphic favorite. Maple also saw purple and the classic flamingo pink.

3. OMBRE

Ombre is a sure win for summer hair, and we had many coming in for this treatment before their Coachella trip!  Ombre gives hair that "been in the sun" look. For a natural, bohemian feel that seems effortless, this is the way to go!

Are you heading to some summer festivals this year? How will you show off your festival-perfect hair? 

Unearthing Blade Runner

Time and time again, I'm amazed at how much fun it is to recreate all these iconic looks of the past! 

This month one of my near and dear clients was my Blade Runner model. I recreated Rachel, with victory rolls and all.

Cheers to Hair Movie Night!

Crown Of Braids: Inspiration from Game Of Thrones

The new season of Game of Thrones started last Sunday and it’s got Morphic all a buzz! 

We couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the show's wigs and intricate braids, pointing and gawking in amazement, like little girls watching their mother get dressed up. We're not alone, right?

The little girl in all of us imagines living in that fantasy timeline where dragons hatch from fire born eggs and princesses, queens and sorceresses all have hair that flows like amber honey down to their knees.

Okay, it's Spring 2013. There are no dragons and winter is NOT coming. Even so, isn't modern day life a “Game of Thrones”? One where the battle in life, is for success, and the throne is the place we claim in it?

Here are our three modern Morphic takes on Khaleesi, Cersei, and Sansa. Whether it be summoning the witchy winds of a yellow cab or demanding attention while strolling Maiden Lane. These contemporary takes on Game of Thrones braids will have you feeling modern, empowered and regal. Because we are all our own royalty, we might as well rock a crown.

The Sansa: Innocent and pure, a hopeless romantic. You might make the mistake of calling her naïve. She is anything but. Smart as a whip this one and apt at using her wit to keep her ahead. She is cool under pressure, with an easy spirit. Her style is much the same.

The Cersei: Beautiful and in control she is often misunderstood as a brash and arrogant type. But don’t mistake her confidence as anything but! She knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to demand it! She is a go-getter and she looks amazing while she does it.

The Khaleesi: Intent with purpose,always on the go. She is mysterious and powerful. An air of magic fallows her wherever she goes. Some might call her sorceress, only because she is so bewitching. Down to Earth and totally out of this world. Her appearance is effortlessly tough yet feminine.

Are you going to be watching Game of Thrones? Or, perhaps more importantly, will you be sporting a Game of Thrones braid this spring?
