Hair's the Scoop

You comment, we listen. Celebrity stylist David Babaii gives us The Scoop on how he achieved the "Ceremony" star's latest look:

"'French Bohemian' was the inspiration for Uma's updo. To create, I first prepared her freshly washed and conditioned hair by massaging a dime size amount of Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment into her tresses from roots to ends, combing it through with a wide tooth comb for even distribution.

Next, I used a blow dryer to dry the hair with a large round brush, lifting the root area for added volume and cupping the ends under for a smooth, rounded finish. After drying, I applied an additional amount of Pequi Oil for control and then loosely gathered the hair with my fingers and braiding it into a long, loose braid down the center back. I secured it with a rubber band while leaving the shorter top and side layers free.

To finish, I created soft loose curls with a 1 ½" curling iron by taking large sections and wrapping them around the inside barrel, holding for a few seconds. I then released, allowing the curls to fall naturally to achieve a true French Bohemian look."

It's rare to see a trend that's fun and functional, but this one is just that.

Starlets and socialites everywhere have been sporting skinny headbands both on the street and on the red carpet, and why not? They're the versatile, inexpensive hair-saver to stock up on this season. You can use them to help camouflage a bad bang job/that awkward regrowth period, salvage a bad-hair day, or with a brooch to add instant glamour to a basic updo. They're fantastic.
