How to Get Hollywood Hair

Glossy, wavy, and oh so glamorous, this red carpet-worthy hairstyle is guaranteed to turn heads. Follow our step-by-step guide to achieving Hollywood hair – no personal stylist required.


1

PIN & BEGIN 

Start by curling the under section of your hair. To do so, pull your hair back into a half ponytail and pin at the top of your head. Take a small section of hair and flat wrap it around the barrel of your curling iron. Hold your curling iron diagonally and hold for five to eight seconds, as this will create tight ringlets. You want your hair to get as hot as possible without burning it, so make sure to use a heat protecting spray!

PERFECT CURLING PATTERN 

Gradually release sections of hair from the pinned back section. You want to repeat step one with all of your hair, working your way towards your face. Make sure you create a perfect curl pattern – if it’s not symmetrical, curl it again!

KEEP IT TIGHT 

Finally release the last of your hair and curl those sections closest to your crown. You want a full head of tight ringlets. Secure with a firm holding hairspray.

BRUSH OUT 

After your hairspray has dried, lightly brush through your curls with a cushion brush. Your ringlets should loosen in to soft, even waves. Finally, apply high shine hair spray to add instant gloss.

And now you’re ready to grace the red carpet with gleaming, Hollywood waves.
