Get The Looks With Dario Cotroneo And MYCURL
Kate Winslet & Cameron Diaz – simple S-shaped curls
Dario says: “What a nod to old-school Hollywood glamour! Kate and Cameron prove their red-carpet credentials yet again with gorgeous soft curls and show-stopping metallic dresses.”
1. Part your hair to the left from hairline to crown, then section off the back of your hair from crown to behind both ears to give three even sections.
2. Back section: split the section in two vertically. Spray KMS Hot Spiral Spray onto one of these sections and roll hair around a vertical MYCURL, directing the hair away from your face. Secure the first strap around the mid lengths then continue rolling the MYCURL to just above the level of your cheekbone before securing the second strap.
3. Repeat with the other back section and left and right sides of hair.
4. On the left side, divide the hair into two vertical sections and repeat the steps above, directing hair away from the face and securing the 2nd strap below the cheekbone area. Repeat on the right side.
5. Clamp your straightening irons over each MYCURL for five seconds then allow hair to cool for 15 minutes.
6. While hair is cooling, use a tail comb to lift the crown area up and spray with hairspray, to create more volume while setting.
7. After hair has cooled, remove all MYCURLs and run your fingers through your hair.
Anna Kendrick & Demi Moore – up do's
Dario says: “Both Anna and Demi have opted for tousled curled upstyles, which softens their looks to suit their ruched gowns. Although tousled, neither has a hair out of place!”
1. Firstly part your hair down the centre (or your preferred parting) to the back hairline. Split each of these sections in two by dividing from the crown to behind your ear. This will create four even sections.
2. Start on the left side, spray KMS Bounce Back Spray onto the section of hair and roll in a MYCURL towards your face. Secure the first strap around the mid lengths and continue rolling the MYCURL to just above your check bone before securing the second strap. Clamp your straightening irons directly over each MYCURL for 5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 2 on the opposite side, rolling towards your face, as well as the back two sections. Allow hair to cool for 15 minutes.
4. After hair has cooled, remove all MYCURLs, lightly brush through the hair and clip front sections forward.
5. Wrap the hair in the back section loosely and secure using bobbie pins, pinning flat to the head. Then take both sides from the front and bring them back over this section. Tie hair into a loose knot and secure ends by tucking them underneath.
6. Once finished, rub fingers gently through style to loosen the look a little.
Natalie Marks – side-swept curls
Dario says: “Natalie’s glossy chestnut curls are a perfect finishing touch to her sparkling gown. I love that she has left her neck bare to let her hair take centre stage – a commendable debut on the Oscars red carpet.”
1. Place hair into a middle parting and pull hair back into a loose ponytail ensuring the fringe is natural.
2. With the remaining hair in the ponytail spray KMS Hot Spiral spray onto the ponytail and roll one MYCURL in, rolling up away from the head (not under), secure and clamp your straightening irons directly over the MYCURL for 10seconds. Allow hair to cool for five minutes.
3. After hair has cooled, remove MYCURL and brush hair lightly. Apply a gloss spray to the ends to separate and add shine, then bring hair forward over the shoulder.
4. Sweep straightening irons through the fringe for a super-smooth finish.
Denise Richards
Using 6 MYCURLs:
1. Part your hair down the middle from hairline to crown, then section off the back of your hair from crown to behind both ears to give 3 even sections.
2. Starting at the back split the section in 2 vertically. Spray KMS Hot Spiral spray onto one of these sections and roll hair around a vertical MYCURL, directing the hair away from your face. Secure the first strap around the mid lengths then continue rolling the MYCURL to just above the level of your cheekbone before securing the 2nd strap.
3. Repeat with the other back section of hair. On the left side, divide the hair into 2 vertical sections and repeat the steps above, directing hair away from the face and securing the 2nd strap below the cheekbone area. Repeat on the right side.
4. Clamp your cloud nine irons over each MYCURL for 5 seconds then allow hair to cool for 15 minutes. While hair is cooling, use a tail comb to lift the crown area up and spray with hairspray, to create more volume while setting.
5. After hair has cooled, remove all MYCURLs and run your fingers through your hair. For a flawless finish, spray hairspray onto a make-up brush and glide down through your hair, following the direction of the curls.
Tip: Leave out the last 5cm of the end before securing the 2nd strap to get this look as it is a cross between MY Goddess style and MY Chic Style.
