If You Want Your Hair To Look Red-Carpet Ready Read This!
Dec 15th, 2009 Posted in style | no comment »What’s the secret to big and bouncy, red carpet-ready hair? All the celebs swear by blow-outs to craft their polished profiles. “They give you such a finished look, star stylist Maxine shares. “You can get a lot of looks from a blow-dry–soft curls, straight or even a tighter curl depending on what brush you use.”
Start the pampering process with damp tresses. “Use a towel to dry your hair, because if it is too damp, you will spend unnecessary time and a new arm trying to blow-dry your wet hair,” salon owner Kim reveals.
Next, you should apply product–volumizing mousse and straightening balm are top picks!–throughout to protect against any heat damage. “Whenever you use products, make sure to evenly distribute them,” Karmen continues. “You can always add more, but if you use to much, you can’t undo it without washing your hair.”
After tresses are set apart into sections, select a brush, but select it based on the desired result of your blow-out. “If your desire is a smooth style, a Denman brush is really perfect.” Kim continues, “If you use a round brush you will get more fullness and curl. While a vent brush will give an effect of smooth where the hair ends don’t tuck under.
Beginning at the roots and slowly going outward with the brush, the hair should be dried in the same direction as the cuticle. “You want air to be going down towards the ground so you don’t destroy the cuticle but instead seal them,” says Amber. Adding a directional nozzle attachment to your blow dryer can help greatly. To make your hair curly, keep your hair in velcro rollers and blow dry them. You can also use duckbill clips in order to hold the curl.
The experts recommend curly hair wearers use a diffuser attachment on their blow-dryer. “Turn your head upside down, lay the ends of your hair in the cup of the diffuser and push it up so it touches your head. The curls will wrap around the little fingers of the diffuser and form beautiful, blown-out curls.”
Continue to dry hair until locks are bone-dry. “However, if you are diffusing, you can leave about 20% of the moisture in,” Denman notes. In order to combat the effects of heat styling, the hair pro also recommends regular hair maintenance. I believe you should do a good conditioning treatment once a week if you are an avid styler.
