waves are a sexy way to wear your hair and they aren't going out of style anytime soon. actress Diane Kruger showed off a fabulous beach-y variation recently at the 2010 People's Choice Awards. how did she get the look? keep reading...

stylist Richard Marin created Diane's "undone beach waves" in only 5 steps:

**start by spraying sea salt texturizer in hair.

**blow dry hair with a diffuser attachment on the dryer (Richard used the Remington Professional Dryer, which can be found exclusively in Walmart stores) while hair is flipped over to give it maximum volume. Richard's tip: do not run your hands through hair while drying as this will cause frizz. dry 90% of the way and air dry the rest.

**next, alternate curling sections of hair using 1" and 1 1/4" rollers (rollers used on Diane's hair? Remington T-Studio Heated-Clip Rollers, which can also be found at Target and Walmart) until the entire head is set.

**unroll when cool and shake your head around a lot to tousle the curls.

**amp up the volume with a dry spray shampoo, and finish off the look with a spritz of hairspray to control flyaways. shake, spray, shake some more, and you're out the door!

Alicia Keys at the 2009 BET Awards

there were many gorgeous hair and makeup looks at this past weekend's 2009 BET Awards. Alicia Keys' style was one of my favorites-- especially her hair! i loved the full, shiny curls!

want to know how she got the look? read on...



Tippi Shorter, Pantene celebrity stylist, whose clients include Jennifer Hudson, Rihanna and Keri Hilson, began by using Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Shampoo & Conditioner to make Alicia's tresses smooth and more manageable to style.

next, she used Ego-Boost Leave-in by Bed Head to detangle Alicia's curls, followed by Pantene Pro-V Curls Anti-Frizz Cream-- this was the foundation for making those big curls last throughout the heat without frizz or fly-aways!

using a curling iron "about the size of my pinky to refine her curls", Tippie added Ojon Serum to separate and fluff her curls for all-night body, and finished the look with a strong holding hairspray to keep the curls in place.


what do you think of Alicia's curls?
