Celebrities make it look so easy, because for them it is. They have hair lackeys at their beck and call to make them look amazing any time they need it. The rest of us have to struggle through ourselves without a magic hair fairy. Harry Josh, Canadian stylist to the stars and creative consultant for John Frieda feels our pain and has been kind enough to share a few easy summer hair looks and the products needed to achieve them!
Effortless Grecian Goddess (aka The Natalie
Portman)
The Look: Undone Bun
Start your style in the shower with Frizz-Ease Dream Curls shampoo
and conditioner to awaken your natural curl pattern. Follow up with
Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection hair serum to
seal-out frizz and protect hair from UV and heat styling damage. Next, apply
Frizz-Ease Dream Curls curl perfecter to wet hair. Its magnesium-enriched
formula penetrates hair to transform waves into sexy curls. Turn your head
upside down and blow-dry hair near the roots until it is 80% dry and then
pin-curl sections and secure each piece at the scalp. To pin-curl, divide hair
into two-inch sections and wrap each section around your index and middle
finger. Use a diffuser to dry hair completely. Once hair is dry, carefully
unravel the pin curls. Gently run fingers through curls to loosen them and
create a more natural look. To complete the style, pull hair into a ponytail
and secure it with an elastic. Tease the ponytail and wrap it around the
elastic, securing it with bobby pins. Apply Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier firm-hold hair spray to maintain the
style all-day without making it sticky or stiff and to protect against frizz for
up to 24 hours
Easy Breezy Beauty (aka The Kate Bosworth)
The Look: Naturally Straight
After washing
and conditioning hair with Frizz-Ease Smooth
Start Hydrating
shampoo and conditioner, apply Frizz-Ease
Thermal Protection hair serum to seal the cuticle, prevent frizz
and protect hair from heat styling damage. On damp hair, apply Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Crème. This lightweight
crème smoothes frizz and keeps hair silky-straight for up to 24 hours without
weighing it down. Next, blow-dry hair in sections with a two-inch round natural
bristle brush, which will minimize frizz. Once hair is dry, use a comb and
create a centre-part. Finish this look with a glossing mist like
Frizz-Ease 100% Shine™ to instantly deliver a
burst of high-gloss shine and smooth frays, flyaways and frizz.
Classic Pony
(aka The Blake Lively)
The Look:
Sleek, Sophisticated Ponytail
After washing and conditioning hair with Smooth Start Hydrating shampoo
and conditioner, apply Frizz-Ease Original or
Extra Strength serum (depending on your degree of frizz) to soaking wet hair to
seal the cuticle, seal-out frizz and protect from heat styling damage. On towel
dried hair, apply Frizz-Ease Take Charge mousse
and blow dry. If your hair is curly, dry it with a large, round brush starting
at the roots, elevating two-inch sections for maximum body. If your hair is
straight, rough-dry it until all moisture is removed. Once hair is dry, take
two-inch sections of hair and set it in hot rollers for 10-minutes. Once the
rollers are cool, remove them and brush hair. Gently
back-comb hair at the root and spray the root area lightly with Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier firm-hold hair spray to hold the back-combing in place. Pull
hair back into a high ponytail near the crown and secure with an elastic. To
finish this look, apply Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon flawless finishing crème to smooth away imperfections and reveal a
perfectly smooth, sleek, sophisticated ponytail.
I can't speak to most of the products that were used, never having tried them but I will give a thumbs up to the Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon finishing creme. A tiny bit rubbed between my hands and smoothed over my hair is wonderful for getting rid of flyaways and polishing my look! And at around $11 - a bargain!
