Naomie Harris 2013 Oscar Hair How To

NAOMIE HARRIS

Styled by Ben Skervin using Vidal Sassoon Pro Series

The Look: Classic Hollywood Glamour

Naomie and Ben chose a classic Hollywood style to compliment her rich, golden dress designed by Savannah College of Art and Design student, Michael Badger.

The Skyfall actress truly exuded elegance as she walked down the red carpet.

Here’s how Ben created Naomie’s Oscar look:

1. Starting with wet hair, spray Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Color Protect Spray for a smooth, soft base.

2. Create a low side part on either side of the hair and then blow the hair out.

3. Once dry, use a 1-inch curling iron to curl 2 -inch sections.

4. After all of the hair is curled, brush out into soft waves using a boar bristle brush.

5. Apply a small amount of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Color Protect Gloss Crème over the top of the waves.

6. To finish the look, lightly mist Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray to hold waves in place.

In Shana's Hair Kit f. Karmin Titanium (Part 1)

I was sent the Karmin Titatanium Professional Hair Straightener Iron to review by www.hairproductspro.com.  Of course I could not use it on myself so thanks Mom for being my human mannequin.  :)  Check the video for my thoughts on the performance of the tool and see the before and after pics of my mom's hair below.
