If like us, your idea of ‘doing your hair’ consists of little more than washing it, blasting it dry and doing something inventive with an alice band or some hair grips – worry not, help is now at hand. No more twisting in the mirror to get the perfect blow dry or burning your neck with lethal straighteners in a bid to look red carpet worthy; with our step-by-step guide to prepping your hair for the ultimate red carpet ‘up do’ you will be ready to dazzle in no time.
With the help of hair guru Jules Holland of Mark Hill, we learn how to prepare our hair – avoiding that Marilyn Monroe ’set look’ with the use of small rollers and just a few products, including a soothing balm. Jules also gives us vital tips on how to use curling tongs in order to achieve the perfect curl – apparently it’s all down to the size of your sections.
From here you’re ready to attempt the up do, with your hair fully prepped and preened – star style will be yours!
