How to get romantic curls from Jill Guzzo of Butterfly Studio via StyleCaster!
Step 1: Start by applying a mousse like TRESemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse or a volumizing product to add body. Blow dry and then comb through the hair so all the product is dispersed from root to end.
Step 2: Take your 1-inch curling iron and wrap hair around the barrel in small sections (always better to work smaller because you can always loosen out a curl).
Step 3: Spray all of the curls with a flexible hold hairspray, like L’Oreal Elnett Satin.
Step 4: Once the curls have cooled, run your fingers through to soften out and make it look more natural.
Step 5: Use a serum or a creamy pomade to finish off your ends.
Note: Flip your head over and spray from underneath to hold the body and make it fluffy if you want that full-body look.
A while back a HOTB reader requested a wavy/curly/bob inspiration, and I think Bianca Duenas has one of the most gorgeous examples of this style. By the way, if Bianca’s name sounds familiar, it’s because she dated (or is dating?) Gabe Saporta from the band Cobra Starship.
Into The Gloss got the full report on Bianca’s beauty routine. “I’m pretty simple,” she says. “I wear my hair wavy because it’s low maintenance. Good cut and color go a long way. I see Sharon Dorram every six weeks or so.”
Check out Bianca’s top beauty picks:
Embryolisse Crème Hydratante à l’extrait d’orange – For face moisturizer
Sally Hershberger Hyper Hydration – For taming hair
Chanel Sun Illuminator – For brightening the skin tone
Labello – For dewy, natural lip balm that can be applied on cheeks & eyelids too
Benefit Speed Brow – For eyebrows
YSL Touche Éclat – For concealing and brightening the eye area
Ruby Woo lipstick – By MAC for nights out
Muji – For makeup accessories, like the great pointed cotton swabs for correcting eyeliner
Khloe Kardashian is in New York for last night’s 2010 World Basketball Festival, which totally sounds like a made-up thing, but I’m pretty sure is real. Anyway. Khloe paid a visit to the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City to get ready for the bb fest. Stylist Juan Carlos Maciques styled her hair by first setting it in small rollers for major volume. Then he enhanced the curls with a large barrel curling iron and set it with Texture Infinium 3 by L’Oreal. Of all the things you can say about those Kardashian sisters… Their hair always looks fab!
Christina Aguilera was wearing a short curly bob hairstyle back in the beginning of July, when she was out at Spago with her husband Jordan Bratman…
But later that month she was snapped with Nicole Richie out at Voyeur with much longer blonde hair. Extension alert! Don’t christina & Nic both look so young in this pic?
And last night (Aug. 13) Christina was photographed leaving Boa with some new pink highlights (or extensions?) She looks like old school diva Christina here!
Which look is your favorite on Christina–the short curly bob, the long wavy extensions, or the mega glam curly look with pink highlights?
Hair inspiration can be found in random places. Sometimes I’ll see a shop girl or some random woman on the street and so want to ask her for a picture so I can post it on Hair On The Brain! But, eh, I really don’t really want to be that person. But I love it when the hair inspiration comes from a model on a web–no creepy stalker feelings.
I am in love with this girl’s hair from the Danish brand DAY Birger et Mikkelsen. In.Love. The bumpy curly waves…. Swoon. It reminds of of a hair style Janine Jarman did on Shear Genius with those huge hair pins when she wrapped her models’ hair and then made them sleep on them over night… That was really rad. I miss watching Janine on my television. She needs her own show!
Anyway, this hair is so great. And the clothes too!
I loved Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks‘ chin-length curly bob at the Emmy Awards last night. So beautiful on her! And that red color against her pale skin. Ugh. Perfection!
I am not totally wild about the Zac Posen gown, however. All that ruching, feathers, pleating… It’s just a little much for a woman who is enough all on her own. I do like the lavender shade on her though.
What do you think of Christina Hendricks’ Emmy look?
Remember how I was recently discussing the insanely gorgeous, full and volume-y hair at the Ports 1961 show during Fashion Week?

Beyonce was spotted shopping in London today (July 6) with a head full of glorious curls. On Sunday, Beyonce and Gwyneth Paltrow attended Jay-Z’s performance at Hadye Park during the Wireless Festival. Madonna and bf Jesus Luz were also in attendance, as was Kate Moss.
Beyonce’s curls remind me of her sister Solange‘s new hairstyle. Of her own curly style, Solange told Refinery29.com, “I wanted to get something that I could literally roll out of bed without looking nuts. I watched so many Chaka Khan YouTube videos and became sort of obsessed with her. I went to my stylist and said ‘Give me the fro.’”
Solange has such a great unique style. I adore her! And she has her third studio album coming out this fall…
Jessica Szohr has an incredibly beautiful face and a killer body. She’s flawless and should not doubt her beauty for a millisecond until the end of her life. The end! But, that said, what do you think of her extensions? Throughout the life of HOTB, I have been somewhat on her case about them… She briefly took them out, but of course in time for Gossip Girl to begin shooting, they are back in.
Jessica and Penn Badgley filmed scenes in Queens with a fake baby. (And you can see the back of Jessica’s hair.) So: Yay or Nay on Jessica’s extensions?
And: Yay or Nay on Penn Badgley as hot dad?
Edited To Add: This pic of Jessica with her naturally curly hair:
Check out this awesome video from Anna-Lee on how she does big sexy Victoria’s Secret hair with a round brush blow dry and pin curls. Anna-Lee has the best hair and she does the best videos–very informative and easy to follow. Trust me, you’re going to want to watch and learn!
