The Secrets to Imitating Celebrity Hairstyles with a Curling Iron

When you see pictures of celebrities on the red carpet does it make you gaze with awe at how beautiful and fabulous their hairstyles are? If you’re a fan of Jennifer Aniston or Kirsten Dunst or other big Hollywood stars have you endlessly asked yourself why their hair could look so perfect all the time any time. Being a star they should always pay attention to how they look. Even stars need the help of a very competent hair stylist using the most reliable styling products and the tools he uses for his trade. Oh, but you too can imitate your favorite star’s red carpet hairstyle by following these simple steps but before that let me tell you a few things that you need to know.

All celebrity hairstyles are not for every one to sport. Wear a hairstyle that is not suitable for the shape of your face and the type of your hair and your look becomes a disaster. Examine your hair, is it curly, straight or wavy? Long, medium length, or short? Then go through your mental list of celebrities who match the type of your hair and work with what you have. If you are the type to fuss at how others around you would react to your new hairdo, check out fashion reviews first to see if the hairdo you have in mind has more approval ratings than negative talk.

Here are tips that will help you recreate large Hollywood curls, one of the most popular celebrity hairstyles that celebrities sport – so that you can look just as elegant as these celebrities are. But before that, prepare the following first: a curling iron, heat-protection spray, and hairbrush.

1. Wash your hair first before you style, use a clarifying shampoo to clean it. Start with a semi-straight or straight hair because it easier to curl. If yours is not straight then straighten it first with  flat irons or by blow-dryer.

2. Heat is the enemy of your hair so put on some heat-protection spray to prevent long-term damage to the hair. After that part the hair into sections. The idea here is that less hair sections, the tighter the curls will be. Use the hair clamp to clamp the rest of the sections in place while you are doing a section.

3. Starting at the top section of your head, clamp the curling iron and twist it around as you pull on it with a downward motion. Clamp tightly and pull harder but gently if you want tighter curls.

4. As a final touch use your fingers to tease the hair then bring out the shine by spraying on a shine spray. You can let your hair down or grab a little section and pull to the side then hold together with barette clips forming an x.

5. As a final touch use your fingers to tease the hair then bring out the shine by spraying on a shine spray.

Now you can enjoy as many new celebrity hairstyles as you want. You can also use heated rollers but the type of rollers that you buy must depend on the thickness of your hair and the type of curl you want to achieve. Generally though, short thin hair should use a straightener or a tong. Medium length thick hair should use medium sized heated rollers, and for long hair, large Velcro rollers. Try this with wet hair and dry the hair off with a hair dryer and be amazed at the results.

Celebrities will often go to their favorite salon and have conditioning treatments for their hair. You can also recreate this at home for a fraction of what you will spend in the salon by buying curling iron products that are suitable for use at home. There are plenty out there at reasonable prices. Be sure to read the label for ingredients because more chemical ingredients will mean more harm for the hair. Opt for organics to maintain hair health, they are not as expensive as one is inclined to think.
