New Years Eve Belles

New Year’s Eve is a time to let down your hair, so to celebrate 2009 in style we’re going with big, bold curls and sexy waves. We got the low down on how to achieve luscious locks from John Frieda’s Canadian Creative Consultants Howard Barr and Alain Larivée. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be the belle of the ball.

Wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that add weightless volume. Spritz the roots with a volumizing, blow dry spray. Flip your head over and blast your roots with a blow dryer until dry.

Set your hair in one-inch sections, in Velcro or hot rollers. This will lift the hair from the root and add the volume you’re looking for. Let hair sit in rollers for 10 minutes or until it has cooled. Gently unwind your hair from around the roller and comb through hair with a wide toothed comb.

Wrap the one-inch sections of hair around a curling iron, making sure they’re not too tight. Repeat this process with all of your hair. Gently run your fingers or a wide toothed comb through your hair.

This will give the style a more natural look. Finish off this head turning do with a generous mist of light hold hairspray. This will set your style so that it moves with you all night long.

Adding a pretty hair band or an ornate hair piece to the finished look, guarantees glam.
