A Great Foundation
They say you can’t build a house that will last without a good foundation. Having beautiful hair that will last all day is a lot like building a house. Like a house or a good relationship, hair needs a strong foundation to make it last!

Studio hairdressers will use the term building when creating a hairstyle that will last. In my book that’s the definition of a good hair day. A day on the set can be as long as 18 to 20 hours. A bad hair day can seem like an eternity! I’ve given you quick tips and fun cheater ways to get a celebrity hairstyle fast and easy, but now it’s time to look at what you can do to look great all day long.

Over the last few years I’ve built a great foundation with you – and I thank you. I always give you my honest, professional opinion of what works best for me to create beautiful hair on beautiful people. I want it to work for you too!

Courteney Cox and Hilary Duff

Courteney CoxCourteney... what a beauty! Her skin is so fresh, her eyes crisp and clear and that hair is shiny like glass. We just wrapped a three-episode stint on “Scrubs”. It was such fun! What a wonderful group and a great experience - much like “Dirt” - my dream job.

To steal both of these looks work a little dollop of my straightening balm, The Flat Factor, through your hair. If you want a little “fluff” in your hair like Hilary’s, layer a spray of my prawduct® Super Volumizing Tonic and then blow-dry your hair upside down. When it’s almost dry, flip your head back over and use a paddle brush to brush your hair from front to back and back to front, ear to ear and back and forth. Hey - let’s call this my side-to-side technique! I like the Olivia Garden paddle brush - they make one called the Duo. It has a mirror on the backside that comes in so handy.

If you’re going for Courteney’s very sleek look, use a boar bristle brush. Point your blow dryer towards the floor and brush straight down until dry. Now heat up your flat iron. I like to use the FHI Heat Platform one-inch flat iron because I can control the temperature. I would turn the temp down if your hair is on the light side, like Hilary’s. This will save it from being damaged from excessive heat. To keep the fluff, elevate each section as you pass it through the iron. Elevate the front section at your eyes, but then flip your hair back while pulling it over the iron plates. Even thought it’s a flat iron you can create a wave. Just flip and even the curl with a little flip of the wrist.

Hilary DuffTo get the sleek quality of Courteney’s look don’t elevate at all, just pull the iron through towards the floor. I like to pass each section of hair through my Olivia garden Carbon-Ion S3 comb (it’s heat resistant and the negative ions will give extra luster to your hair).

With both looks I would use a generous mist of my prawduct® Love That Shine Spray. It will literally drench your hair with red carpet shine!

Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry and Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis

Three shades of beauty! Their hair and skin glow with freshness without looking like they’re overly made up with stiff-styled hair. I like it! Let me give you my tips towards your own fresh expression of beauty.

I would take the same approach as we talked about for Courteney and Hilary, using prawduct® The Flat Factor, Super Volumizing Tonic, paddle brush and my “side-to-side” blow-dry technique.

For Halle and Cindy I’d set them both on Olivia Gardens Jet Set one-inch rollers. They’re like a Velcro, but not. They hold without the pull of Velcro, and with no need for clips. Let them rest and cool for 10 to 15 minutes. For the extra set and shine that Kristin has, I would pull out my Caruso steamrollers. They will produce a stronger curl. Use the large size for Kristin, and with all three styles, do a simple brick pattern from the part area of your hair.

When cool, gently remove the rollers and mist my prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray over the curls. A quick tip to save time and give great shine - spray my prawduct® Love That Shine Spray over the Olivia Garden Supreme brush and brush through the hair. It will distribute the shine and organize the curl in one easy step. Then follow with a spritz of my prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray to give a little memory hold without looking or feeling like a helmet!

Lauren Conrad, Julianne Hough, Miley Cyrus,
and Mariah Carey
Lauren Conrad Julianne Hough Miley Cyrus Mariah Carey

These four hairstyles are almost the same, except Lauren’s curl is a little stronger, and the pattern is broken up, while Miley and Mariah have side parts. So take your pick as to which variation best suits your face, or what tickles your fancy, and let’s get started.

On damp hair mix about a silver dollar size amount of my prawduct® Rawhold Gel with a quarter size dollop of prawduct® The Flat Factor over the palms of your hand. Work it through your hair and then comb your strands with a wide tooth comb. Now flip your head over and rough-dry. Spray my prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray over and through your hair and follow with a blow dryer to speed up the drying.

Now heat up your FHI Heat Dome flat iron. Take your first section at your forehead and pull your hair through the plates straight out and elevated slightly. Starting at about your lower eye to cheekbone area, take smallish sections. Using the same flat iron, slide your hair in sections gently, pulling it across and through the plates. Pull down and towards the floor, and at the same time flick your wrists back towards the wall behind you. Do this on each side of your head until you run out of hair in the center back. The more flick the more curl you will achieve. Then brush your hair with the Olivia Garden Bamboo paddle brush. This brush is for scalp massage, stimulation and treatments. While it makes your scalp feel great, you will also be breaking up the texture as the bristles are far apart - perfect for these hairstyles. Follow with prawduct® Love That Shine Spray over your entire head and a little prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray to help secure the look.

Note: If you’re having troubles flicking the wrist, you can use a conventional flat iron. Just wrap the hair gently around the entire iron as it will retain heat and give curl.

Paris Hilton, Katherine Heigl and Gywneth Paltrow


Gywneth PaltrowOn clean damp hair use my prawduct® Rawhold Gel, worked in and combed through well. Blow-dry your hair with the Olivia Garden Bamboo paddle brush and do my side-to-side technique, which was used for Courteney’s and Hilary’s styles. When dry heat up your Caruso steam rollers.

For Gwyneth’s look, take large sections and with large rollers, set your hair from the crisp center part down. You’ll probably only use about six to eight rollers in total. Check the first one after five minutes. If it looks like it has a soft curl, wrap it back up and let it set for another two minutes, then remove all the rollers and let them rest for another few minutes. Take out semi-wide tooth comb. Comb from the part down to the top of the ears, from the ears down and gently fluff and separate the ends.

Use a little of my prawduct® Dream Cream worked over your fingertips and palms. Run it through the hair to break it up and give it a more chunky feeling.

Katherine HeiglFor Katherine, use the small and medium Caruso steam rollers, doing a traditional brick pattern set. After the last one is in, hit the entire head with a blow dryer. If you have a diffuser, use it for about five minutes and let them set for 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove, shake your curls out by running your fingertips through your hair. This will break up the partings between the rollers. Brush your hair with the Olivia Garden supreme boar bristle brush. Brush it straight back several times; it will start to form waves. Once you see the wave, spray a little prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray over the entire head and allow it to dry. Do this step a few times; it will help give the wave a memory hold. prawduct® Spray Love That Shine Spray on tresses liberally, allow it dry and repeat in five minutes.

Paris HiltonParis used hair extensions for this glam style. Part your hair from temple to temple, about two inches above your ears, and then clip in the extensions. You will probably use two wefts of hair if your hair is long like Paris’. After you clip the hair in, take your own and hide it underneath the extensions. You can either do a few pin curls pinned flat to the head, or a few small ponytails that you roll towards the scalp and clip them down. Now set your hair with the large Caruso Rollers from the part to the floor. Allow them to set for about 15 minutes, remove, mist a little prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray over the entire head, allow to dry and then brush through well with the Olivia Garden Supreme brush. It will begin to fall into large waves as you brush. Establish a right side part. Brush your fringe across your forehead and clip it down with a decorative clip. Mist over the entire head with prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray, allow to dry and finger through the hair and extensions to blend them together. Finish with a generous spray of prawduct® Love That Shine Spray.

Nicole Kidman, Ali Landry, Emmy Rossum and Taylor Swift

A fun and really easy way to create the texture in all these styles is to use one of my favorite hairdressing tools - Curlformers! They’re so easy. Let me tell you how to use them.

On clean, damp hair spray my prawduct® Super Volumizing Tonic all over your head and blow-dry your hair until almost dry. Brush through well and establish the part that looks best on you, or try something different and do a part that would be completely opposite of what you’ve done in the past. If you look closely at all of these looks, the texture goes in the same direction; pick the Curlformer size for you, using the same color Curlformer on each side of your head.

For Taylor and Ali I would choose the Long and Narrow Curlformer, for Nicole’s look I would use the long and Wide and for Emmy I would use a combination of them both for a more varied texture. Put them in from your part down. When you have them all in, either clip them up so they are not hanging from your head, or use an old fashion hair net to tie them up )this way you won’t urn the rist of having an odd bend at the scalp) until you get the hang of using them. Either let them air dry or sit under the dryer. When they are dry, gently pull them out and let the curls rest. The resting time, no matter if you curl or blow-dry your hair, is important because your hair is actually firming up as it’s cooling down. Use a little prawduct® Love That Shine Drops worked over your palms and run it through your hair to gently break up the curls.

Now to get the specifics of Nicole’s variation of the style, brush out the very top of the hair across the part to soften the look. Mist a little prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray over the top and then tip your head side to side. Spray up into your hair to get some really nice width.

Taylor and Ali have a sort of loose half-up, half-down look. Pull your hair from your ears back and slightly up for Ali’s look. For Taylor pull the same hair back, but don’t pull up. Secure with a few hidden bobby bins. Use my prawduct® Rawhold Hairspray to help secure the look followed with a generous dose of my prawduct® Love That Shine Spray.
