Katherine Heigl dons a Grace Kelly updo at “One for the Money” premiere
At the premiere of Katherine Heigl‘s new film One for the Money, celebrity stylist David Babaii created an updo inspired by legendary movie star Grace Kelly. Her new tresses complemented her elegant orange asymmetric Herve L Leroux gown. Below is the step-by-step guide to getting Heigl’s look.
[1] Babaii first took Heigl from brown to a “Hollywood Blonde” by using the professional hair color Aquarly 20/20 by IT&LY HAIRFASHION for a long-lasting, natural and healthy looking shade.
[2] On the day of the event, he then washed hair with IT&LY Advanced Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner.
[3] After gently towel drying, he applied a small amount of Miracle Oil Hair Elixir by David Babaii. This helps condition, preserve color, and provides hair with thermal protection.
[4] Next, he blow-dried hair.

2012 Golden Globe Awards hair & makeup trends
Charlize Theron‘s hairstylist Enzo Angileri said, “I wanted her hair to have a casual feeling, very soft, almost as if she had pulled it together herself.”
1. He started with already dry, naturally waved hair, and curled small sections with a 2” curling iron to enhance the volume and texture.
2. Angileri used the larger iron because he didn’t want to curl her hair, but to refine the natural wave. This helped create an effortless transition from her natural look to red carpet.
3. Once finished, he lightly misted the curled sections with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray.
4. After a few minutes, he completely brushed through her hair with a Moroccanoil Ionic Ceramic Paddle brush to eliminate any trace of separation, for a natural, clean look with a romantic, soft texture.
5. Next, he swept the hair to the left and made three sections.
6. He pulled and rolled the first two into a loose bun and pinned them, working with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray throughout the process to control and hold the hair in place.
7. He released and wrapped the last section under and around the bun and pinned it.
8. Finally, he adjusted and freed strands in the bun so it looked even more unstructured, messy, and a bit wispy.
9. He then sprayed the hair with Moroccanoil Frizz Control to tame flyways disappear and to give more control of the hair and the look of the bun.
10. Angileri finished the look with a Cartier diamond headband.

2. When cutting the texture, he took sections from the nape to the crown creating soft natural layers.
3. For the fringe, he took a diamond section following the points of the eyebrows as his guide and chipped into the ends for a soft finish.

Spotlight: Talika Lipocils Expert
|
After trying a variety of eyelash growth serums, I finally found one that works! Talika Lipocils is the only one that doesn’t irritate my eyes. Once I realized that I was sensitive to the chemicals in other top brand serums, I experimented with all natural and organic ones, but for some reason those also irritated my eyes and once again I had to discontinue them. Still, I continued my search for an all natural eyelash conditioner and thankfully came across this one. Since it can leave a little bit of a residue, I apply it only at bedtime to both my top and bottom lashes. After a week, I noticed a difference in both length and thickness and the lash line was also darker. And the price is right too– no wonder, Jennifer Aniston loves this stuff! Available at Sephora stores, $55. |

Get Katy Perry’s updo from the 2011 AMA’s
Maybe you’ll skip the color, but if you want to go for a not-so-classic updo, then try this look which was created by Fekkai Celebrity Stylist Renato Campora. After seeing Katy Perry‘s dress, Renato came up with this look, which is a modern take on the French twist.
1. Campora first applied Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel to wet hair to give it a firm base.
2. He then blow-dried hair while brushing it through with a flat brush.
3. He used a one-inch curling iron throughout hair to create body while giving it a sturdy foundation.
4. Campora then heavily teased the hair.
