Last night was very special for me. I had just wrapped up an interview with Lynn Tully, the lead hairdresser at American Idol (for the May 2 episode of Modernsalontv) and was invited to sit in the audience to watch the show. One of the highlights of the hour was the Rihanna performance. Wow...that chic chick can sing. But even more impressive was her HAIR!! "Wasn't her head shaved on one side last month?" asked the fan sitting next to me. Sure was...which is why I did some digging to find out what Rihanna's BFF, hairdresser and FHI Heat VisionMaker Ursula Stephen did to get the length, volume and gorgeous finish.

Get Jennifer's trademark J Lo Glow! David Maderich provides MODERN with his take on how to properly "luminize" the skin.

When MODERN editors heard the news of Elizabeth Taylor’s passing, we mourned the loss of a great actress, stunning beauty and hair icon. From National Velvet to Cleopatra, Taylor’s styles were always an inspiration to the beauty community. Her signature brunette shade coupled with her famous violet eyes were magic—on screen and off. And as one of the world’s most photographed women in an industry filled with blondes, fans couldn’t get enough of her dark, mysterious look. Still today, people are drawn to images of her.
