Tips and Tricks...

Leona Lewis

I would love to see her walk down the red carpet with her hair pulled low and off to the side. She has a gorgeous face, I think the hair should be out of the way, but kept soft and romantic. To create this hairstyle, I would prep the hair with the InStyler to give it lots of volume and body. Take a section of hair wherever you need extra body, volume and height. Place the InStyler at the root with the cylinder toward your scalp, and then push slightly toward the center of the head. Maintain the tension as you slowly move to the ends. For maximum height, focus the over direction at the root, then gather all of your hair to the side of your head and secure it with a rubber band. The key to this hair style is to not pull the pony tail through the rubber band all the way, creating a loop of hair. Now use your bobby pins to secure the loose hair. When done, you should have a loose, creative looking bun. Secure this style with Tre Milano Firm Up Spray, and Tre Milano Shine Essence Spray.

Rhianna

She is known for being hot and edgy. Her haircut is no exception, it has created a hot trend all over the nation. The InStyler is a great tool to use to create the sexy sweeping fringe that I will expect to see Rhianna on the red carpet. For bangs, use the InStyler Rotating Iron at the root, with the cylinder placed on the underside of the bangs. Glide the InStyler slightly up and back, over directing toward the center of your head. Maintain tension as you move toward the tips. Hold until you've reached the desired results.

Katy Perry

She is new on the music scene and getting a reputation for her fearless style. She is always pushing the envelope and trying new trends. She often works the 4o's inspired hair do, but I would like to see her do something a little different. I would like to see her walk down the red carpet for the Grammys wearing her hair half up and half down with lots of wave and texture. This is one of the biggest trends this season. To create these waves I would use the InStyler. Turn the InStyler on at the appropriate temperature for your hair type. Gather a 2" - 3" section of hair. Carefully wrap your hair around the cylinder and close for 5-10 seconds. Open and release hair. To loosen and separate, run your fingers through the section and spray with Tre Milano Firm-Up Spray to prevent frizz. Next, pull the hair on the sides of the head back and secure with a clear rubber band. The hair in the crown area can be teased to create perfect volume to really finish off the style.

Alicia Keys

I would like to see her hair pulled back, away from her face, in a sleek and sophisticated up style. It is definitely a trend being scene this season, and she has the perfect bone structure to pull it off. The InStyler is a great tool to use. To prep your hair for this style, use the InStyler to straighten and polish your tresses. Set the InStyler at the appropriate setting for your hair type.

To really hold this look spray with Tres Milano Firm-Up Spray first then gather a 2" - 3" section of hair. Position the cylinder side toward your scalp. Slowly glide the InStyler straight down through the hair from roots toward tips. Continue until the entire head is polished and straight. Then pull hair back and secure it in to a low pony tail. Create a bun with the rest of the hair and secure with bobby pins. Use Tres Milano Shine Essence Spray to leave it brilliant shine.

Carrie Underwood

She is definitely known for her gorgeous, blonde, curly tresses. This year on the red carpet at the Grammys, I would like to see Carrie's hair parted to the side and worn in 40's inspired waves. Create the perfect curls using the InStyler. Power the InStyler at the appropriate heat setting for your hair type.

Gather a 2" - 3" section of hair. Carefully wrap your hair around the cylinder and close. Gently open and release hair. Hold longer for tighter curls. After dropping the curl, wrap it back up in a curl formation and secure it with a duck clip to allow it to cool in the curl. Repeat until the entire head is curled. Once it is done, release pins and let curls drop. Next, brush the hair with a soft bristled paddle Denman brush. This creates the soft, romantic look. Lastly, spray the hair with Tre Milano Shine Essence Spray to really shine like a star and control frizz.

Adele

She is new and a highly anticipated artist walking down the red carpet for the Grammy's this year. I would love to see her hair tousled, in a loose up style. Before pulling the hair up, curl the entire head in loose waves with the InStyler. Do this by gathering a 2" - 3" section of hair. Carefully wrap your hair around the cylinder and close. Gently open and release hair. Once the hair is entirely curled, create three little ponytails. The ponytails should create a vertical line. With all the excess hair that is hanging down, twist and pin forming a romantic look. Finish off with Tre Milano Firm Up Hair Spray.
