Celebrities Wavy Hair
Here are some tips and tricks on creating loose wavy hair that is very popular among the celebrities right now and isn’t about to go out of style anytime soon. You can prep your hair by first adding some mousse and letting it air dry. Tilt your head to the side and work in the mousse from the ends up, do not brush out. The time required in styling could take between 30 minutes up to an hour depending on length and thickness of your hair. If your hair is naturally curly you will want to work a straightening balm. You will want your hair to be completely dry before beginning and it helps to blow cold air at the roots to add volume. Then section your hair off into even pieces before beginning with the curling iron. You will want to use a large barrel curling iron on low heat and spritz the section of hair with a styling spray. The trick with the curling iron to create the loose waves is to simply wrap the hair loosely around the barrel do not clamp the hair in it. This allows the hair to be curled all the way the the root. Hold the curl on the curling iron for about 5-10 seconds. As you work your way through your hair alternate the direction of the curls you can do this by first putting the barrel on the top of the hair before placing it around and then alternating to the barrel at the bottom before beginning wrap the hair around. This will make the curls look more natural. Once finished you can loosen the curls with your fingers, do not brush them out and spray with a flexible hold hairspray. Don’t overdo it with the hairspray though you don’t want the curls to be crunchy.

Balayage
Balayage pronounced (bah-lay-ah-je) is a french word meaning “to sweep” and it is a hair coloring technique that many celebrities have done to create very natural-looking highlights which grow out without developing a noticeable and obvious root. In response to popular demand many salons are now offering balayage hair coloring in which the stylist go through special training. During the balayage process the hair color is painted on by hand in a sweeping motion which moves from the base to the tip of the hair. It can be a time consuming process and requires a good eye and a steady hand, but many feel that end result is very worth it. The balayage lasts longer because as the hair grows out the root will be concealed by the thinner color applied to the base of the hair. Unlike a foil, hair looks like it has simply been highlighted by the sun in a more natural way. Many celebrities and models use the balayage hair coloring techniques some of them include Gisele Bündchen, Nicole Richie, Isabel Lucas, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few.
