Look Like A Star (Part 2 of 4)

Rockin' Back To School Hairstyling Tips from The Hollywood Hair Guy
By: Jason R. Rich

"I always create someone's look by first examining the shape of their face, then choosing a style that'll accentuate their best features. Based on the pear shape of Gissel's face, I wanted to add a bit of volume on top, to give the illusion of a wider forehead and create a new, sexier and more retro look." said Dean, as he began his work.

Dean first straightened Gissel's hair with a flat iron, but kept the part near the top, center of her head. Herbal Essence Extra Hold Hair Spray was used in conjunction with the flat iron. Instead of keeping her part straight, however, he added a zigzag shape to create more dimension and texture around her forehead area.

"To incorporate a trendy and cool retro look, I used a crimping iron only on the middle section of Gissel's hair. Herbal Essence Styling Spritz was applied to her hair before the crimping iron to give it extra hold," explained Dean.

"Only the top layer of hair was crimped," said Dean, as he demonstrated how this new style could be worn with Gissel's hair partially flipped over one shoulder for a more casual look.

"By keeping both sides of her hair in front of her shoulders, this same style offers a more sophisticated look, yet remains trendy and fun because the hair is crimped," explained Dean.
