Katherine Heigl's Old Hollywood Curls
The Academy Awards red carpet arrivals are full of glitz and glamor! Celebrities are known show up in their absolute best, and thanks to the end of the writer's strike, we were not disappointed this year. If all the world is a stage, the Oscar's red carpet is the Broadway of beauty!
This year the celebrities not only had beautifully styled hair, but many hair styles are wearable and creatable by the average woman!
Here I count down my top five wearable styles from the red carpet and give you tips for recreating these looks at home.
Katherine Heigl's big bouncy curls with beautifully swept bangs gave a fantastic old hollywood glamorous look to the red carpet. I loved how her curls swept out, exposing her stunning facial features.
Want to recreate this look? Use big hot rollers. Wash and dry your hair using a volumizing gel or mousse prior to drying. Roll the hair on hot rollers, rolling the hair away from your face. After your rollers cool, remove, shake your head upside down while applying a medium to firm holding hairspray. Use your fingers to separate the curls as necessary. Then smooth and shape your style, sweeping the bangs upward!
Cameron Diaz's Pretty Pony
Cameron Diaz sports the ultimate chic and simple pony tail updo. This styled down look accentuates Cameron's sporty style while giving her a soft look to compliment the occasion.
Ready to try to recreate this pretty pony? It's as easy as one, two, three! First create large soft curls on clean dried hair. You can use a large curling iron or create soft waves with a flat iron. Next, sweep your hair back in a loose pony tail, leaving the front bangs and a few side pieces.
For extra style points, wrap your hair tie with a small strand of hair from your pony and secure with a bobby pin. Finally, use a flat iron to soften and shape the bangs and sides into soft waves. A pretty hair pin or broach could step this style up another notch.
Anne Hathaway's Half-up Do
Anne Hathaway complimented her show-stopping red asymmetrical gown with a subdued, but polished, half-up style featuring soft curls.
Create this style in moments at home! Wash and dry your hair using a little volumizing mousse, gel, or spray. A smoothing serum after you dry will help increase shine and ensure a soft style. Loosely curl your hair using a medium sized curling iron or hot rollers. Using a wide toothed comb, loosely pull the top and sides of your hair back to the center of your head and secure with bobby pins or glam up your style by using a pretty comb, clip, or barrette.
The secret to Diablo Cody's unique style is really in the cut. You can see in this photo that her haircut is based on strong horizontal lines with a slight asymmetrical feel.
To achieve this style at home, get your flat iron hot! After you visit your stylist to get this sassy chic haircut, get your flat iron and shine spray ready. Treat your clean dry hair with a heat protecting spray or serum to start.
Then flat iron your hair in small thin sections, slightly turning the ends under as you flat iron. After each hair has been smoothed into place, a good shine spray is in order to make this sleek style stand out in the crowd!
Amy Adams made a statement on the red carpet with her stunning green gown and her long soft curls that completed her style.
Make waves at home with style! The idea behind this style is to just curl the bottom half of the hair strands. Wash and dry your hair, using a volumizing mousse, gel, or spray before you dry. For extra volume, dry with your head upside down. If your hair tends to get frizzy, and anti-frizz serum can be applied before or after your dry.
Using medium to large hot rollers or a curling iron, roll small sections of the hair, but stop half way up each section. Use your fingers to gently pull and blend the curls. Finish with a light spray and shine spray!
