Super Bowl XLVIII, Seahawks Scalped the Broncos

If I had a bucket list, going to the Super Bowl would have been on there.  Thanks to Head & Shoulders for Men, I'm now able to scratch that off.  Known for working with Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers, this year, the brand also teamed up with his teammate, Brett “Da Beard” Keisel to interview the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos before the game about how their hair will come into play on game day (hysterical video)... of course, this is when they all had hope.  Despite which team has better hair, the Broncos got scalped!  Anyway, the energy at Metlife Stadium looked something like this.

We sat in the corner of the end zone, ten rows behind the where the Bronco's came out.  The energy was insane.  A very hopeful beginning indeed.

Proof I was there.  Ha!

I think it's safe to assume that another Seahawks touchdown was about to happen here.

One of the best parts was the half time show.  Bruno Mars put on a showstopping performance and we were all part of it!  Pepsi gave out hats with LED lights on them that went to the songs so the whole stadium lit up for the show.  The fireworks at half time and throughout the game were magical.

My failed attempt at a fanicure.  I tried!

I felt awful for the Bronco's cheerleaders, but the mascot (see him sitting on the left) was hysterical the whole game.

Destiny's Child Hairstylist, Tippi Shorter, Talks Game Day Prep

Over the weekend I saw one of my favorite hairstylists, Tippi Shorter, tweet that she was working at the Super Bowl.  To be exact, she said, "Is it wrong to be working at the Super Bowl tomorrow and not know who's playing?"  This only meant one thing.  She was either working on Beyonce, a member of Destiny's Child, J Hud or Alicia Keys.  I reached out to her immediately and got the scoop, not only on how she made Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland's hair so straight and shiny, but also on what it was like backstage before the big reunion! What was the vibe like behind the scenes as you prepped Kelly and Michelle for their Super Bowl half time show?

They are true professionals and able to jump into action when needed, so they were their usual fun selves.  It was all hair and makeup talk.

Who did you work with to collaborate on their look?

I spoke to both Kelly and Michelle to find out what they were thinking.  They then trusted me to deliver my own touch to their idea.

Were their leather costumes part of the inspiration behind their sleek strands?

Yes, absolutely.

What's their natural hair texture like and how much prep work went into achieving their straight hair?

Both of the ladies are chemical free, so it makes it easier for me to create a sleek look with body. We worked with a lot of color, so that was time consuming.

What key products were used?

I used the Pantene Truly Natural Shampoo and Conditioner and the Aveda Brilliant for shine and the Control Force Spray for hold.

Can you paint the picture of the backstage scene before they performed?

The three ladies prayed and took the stage for an amazing performance.
