Haunted Hollywood Starlet Hair Tutorial with Lea Cakes
As we know, many of you last minute lovelies will be scrambling this week for a Halloween costume. The one thing you won’t have to scramble for is hair to pair with it. Lea Cakes and Hotheads have you covered!
TOOLS:
Lea Cakes is wearing a full head of Hotheads Extension using color numbers No. 5, No. 7, No. 27, and No. 55 in lengths of 22” - 24”.
- Hair clips or bobby pins
- Paddle Brush
- Flexible hold hairspray
- 1 1/4” Extra long barrel digital curling iron
STEPS:
Step 1: After washing and blow drying your hair, brush your hair out nice and smooth using your favorite paddle or extension brush.
Step 2: Separate into small sections using a hair clip.
Step 3: Using one section at a time, start with a 1 1/4” extra long barrel curling iron and curl hair to the base. Any time you set hair using a hot tool, it’s highly recommended that you use a thermal protectant.
Step 4: Once you feel the hair is properly heated, remove the curling iron and immediately set it with a clip. Place your hand at the edge of the barrel and drop the curl right into your hand keeping the curl intact.
Step 5: Roll the curl right back on base and pin to place. Continue around the head pinning all curls up. Spray the curls with a flexible hairspray to allow them to set.
Step 6: Once your hair has had enough time to cool, begin removing the pins. It will be VERY curly when it comes down.
Step 7: Take your paddle brush and brush through all of those curls, brushing out the curls will give you the gorgeous, Hollywood glam effect.
Step 8: The more you brush, the shinier and smoother the hair will look. Go for it! Keep brushing until you get a nice soft wave.
Step 9: Lea is wearing Hotheads Extensions in Lengths of 22” - 24”, which give her the body and flexibility to complete this hauntingly beautiful look.
Step 10: Bring you hair to one side to give you that plunging, sexy look spray it with flexible hold spray in place.
Voíla! You've achieved your Hollywood Startlet style!

THE SHAIRING INITIATIVE
For Immediate Release
Hotheads Hair Extensions is proud to announce
Hair With A Voice’s SHAIRING Initiative, a progressive hair donation program
that offers charitable contributions through the proceeds from the sales of
hair. This Initiative ensures that donations of hair directly benefit Friends
Are By Your Side, a program started by Martino Cartier to grant Wigs &
Wishes to women and children undergoing cancer treatment.
The process of SHAIRING is as follows:
1. Clean, shampoo and/or condition hair
without any styling products.
2. After establishing your client’s parting
preference, create 4 vertical sections (2 on each
side of the head, from the ears forward, and 2
sections in the back)
3. Create 4 tight braids with elastic bands.
This enhanced sectioning will allow you to
preserve more of the client’s natural length
after donation. It will also maximize the
amount of hair being donated.
4. Place an additional elastic band about 1”
from the ends of the hair.
5. Ensure that the braids are just below where
you would like the hair cut.
6. Measure the length of the braids from band
to band (minimum length is 12”)
7. Cut the hair above the elastic band at the
nape so that the band remains in tact after
cutting to keep the hair together.
8. Place the braid (tied at both ends) inside
a resealable bag, and seal tightly.
9. Place the bag inside a padded envelope and
send to:
Martino Cartier Salon
304 Hurffville Crosskeys Road
Sewell, NJ 08080
10. If you would like to know when your
donation is received, please include your full name
and email address in your SHAIRING donation.
11. Sign up for Friends Are By Your Side to
see how your salon can get involved.
Acceptable Donations:
Friends Are By Your Side gladly accepts all
kinds of hair from donors, so long as the below
guidelines are adhered to.
• Hair must be 12” long (longer hair is
preferred)
• Hair must be freshly washed, dry and free of
styling product
• Hair must be in a braid
• Hair must be tied on each end when donated
• Hair must be organized in a ponytail when
cut
• Hair cannot be bunched after it’s been on
the floor
• Layered hair is acceptable, considering the
shortest layer is at least 12”
• Hair that has been lightened (bleached) is
not acceptable
• Hair that has been colored, permed or
chemically processed is also not acceptable
• Curly hair is acceptable, considering the
hair is 12” when straightened.

Hotheads Stylist Interview with AJ Schulz
AJ is currently a stylist and educator at Thomas West Salon in downtown Chicago and owner of Your Stylist AJ- an on-site bridal hair service. After completing the cosmetology program with Douglas J Aveda Institute, she was recruited by Van Michael Salon in Atlanta, GA, Aveda’s busiest salon in the world. Now, in Chicago, she is a full service hairdresser, with a specified passion in styling and special occasion hair.
HH: When did you discover that you wanted a career in the beauty industry?
AJ: Freshman year of high school! With zero doubt.
HH: What your favorite Hotheads Hair Extension color?
AJ: #613 alllll day!
HH: Is there anyone that you would like to work with whom you haven't yet?
AJ: I’m pretty sure T Swift and I would be BFFs. I would love to tour with her and just keep
her hair perf.
HH: Do you think this is a skill that successful beauty professionals are born with or is it one
that can to be cultivated and perfected?
AJ: A strong combo. You can be great at anything you decide to be great at, but you can
spot the ones who are born with it from across the room.
HH: How can young men and women who are aspiring to work in the beauty industry begin their journey?
AJ: Do you. People will try to talk you out of this industry because college is the way of
today. I would have gone to college had cosmetology been an option there, but it
wasn’t, and it won’t be. If you’re passionate about making people feel amazing through
beauty, please do the world a favor and follow that passion until you’re behind the chair.
HH: What are some career goals that people should set for themselves before attempting a career in beauty?
AJ: Identify exactly what you want to do before you set out to do it. This industry is broad. If
you want to own a salon, business school or seminars a so important. If you’d like to
freelance, investigate what licensing is necessary. A big career goal that’s often
overlooked in this industry, is to stay organized. So much of this industry is up to you.
Do your taxes. I repeat, do you taxes.
HH: What is the hardest part about working in beauty?
AJ: Standing on your feet!
HH: Is beauty school a necessary step to take toward a career?
AJ: Not always. Plenty of beauty bloggers and influencers are successful and didn’t go to
beauty school. That said, it’s only a year, and you’ll be much more confident if you have
that under your belt.
HH: Who has inspired you the most throughout your career in beauty?
AJ: My boss, Tom has by far been the biggest influence in me professionally. He allowed me to grow my business rapidly, while providing me with endless support and freedom. I will
forever to be grateful for the opportunity to work in his salon, and Thomas West Salon is
the last salon I will ever work in.
HH: How can girls highlight their best features without going overboard?
AJ: Overdose on whatever makes you confident. Confidence is the best feature.
HH: Why do you think you decided to become a hair stylist?
AJ: I love that I have the potential to make someones day every day. I love that I live an
anti-cubicle lifestyle. I love being creative. I love chatting with amazing women all day.
Why isn’t everyone a hair stylist? It’s the best job ever. It’s not even work!
HH: What inspires you? Who inspires you?
AJ: I’m inspired by women sticking together. Girls get jealous of each other. Women
empower each other. My mom is the ultimate girl power role model. Women just need to be nice to each other, and she is a great example of that. It’s really not hard ladies, just be nice!
HH: What are your favorite Hotheads hair products?
AJ: I mean. There’s nothing like that hair. I wish my natural hair was as amazing. The deep
treatment keeps it feeling luscious.
HH: Which styling tools do you use most often?
AJ: I love a 1” flat iron because I can straighten, curl, and beach wave with it! It’s all I pack
when I travel, because what more do you need?
HH: What are some good tips for young people trying to break into the industry?
AJ: Please remember, the duplicate is never as good as the original. Break into the industry
by being YOU, and bringing newness. Doing what someone else is because it seems to
be working for them, won’t work as well for you. People will love you being you!
HH: How do you feel hair relates to personal style?
AJ: You wear your hair every day! If you wear it the same every day, that says one thing, but if it’s different every time your clients see you, that says something stronger.
HH:Did someone inspire the new look you have given her?
AJ: A huge part of my clientele are brides to be. There’s such an energy about brides!
They’re on the fitness game, have adapted a perfect skin routine, are putting healthy
foods into their bodies… So I love giving them fresh, full, long hair, because what in the
world could make you feel more beautiful?
HH: How do you think that hair relates to a person's confidence?
AJ: As women, we associate having hair with feeling sexy. Feeling sexy, LOOKS sexy.
