The Mane Event
By Amy Spagnola
Hair is one of the most versatile accessories. It can be worn silky smooth for a date night on Friday or spiral curled for a work function on Tuesday. Hair trends are ever-changing and many celebrities thrive on recreating their images using what’s on top their head. Transforming hair is easier with the right tools and of course, a little Hollywood inspiration.
