How To Get Scarlett Johannson’s Hairdo

I’m getting mixed comments on Scarlett Johansson’s hairdo At The Moet & Chandon Tribute To Cinema. Some, like myself  love it, and some don’t. I thought to bring to you the scoop on how to get Scarlett’s hairdo, anyways, just in case you do want to try this look at home.

Celebrity hairdresser David Babaii traveled across the ocean to Tokyo, Japan to create this Red Carpet look for actress Scarlett Johannson at the Moet & Chandon “Tribute to Cinema” event on October 20, 2009.


The hair jewelry worn by Scarlett Johannson is DeBeers. Scarlett’s dress was Givenchy with Dior shoes.

To create this “power look” and accentuate her fire red dress, David Babaii took Scarlett Johansson’s long strawberry blonde hair and transformed her tresses into a dramatic side swept, short textured bob. After rough drying her locks with Hair Polish applied to damp hair, David loosely twirled large sections of hair and sprayed them with Bohemian Beach Spray, while finishing the drying process.

Redken Mineral Elixir Dazzling Smoothing Oil

I’m a sucker for soft hair and frizz-free hair. I just dicovered Mineral Elixir Dazzling Smoothing Oil by Redken which I spray on after I blow dry my hair straight to keep my hair glossy and silky. I also like to use it on days I don’t wash my hair to fresh up my hairdo. And, it smells amazing! Redken knows their stuff!:)

The description from Redken’s website: 

Mineral Elixir Dazzling Smoothing: A glistening shine spray that provides very light conditioning and control with intense frizz-fighting power.

Replenishes and restores dense, dry, sensitized hair with dazzling shine. Ultra-smoothing mist delivers shea butter and ceramid to lock in moisture, help block humidity, smooth split ends, and provide intense frizz-fighting power. Hair is smooth and glistening with lustrous shine.

Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel

Last month during my visit to New York City for Fashion Week I stopped by at Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel to get my hair blow dried. It was a much needed blow out. The New York weather makes my hair so frizzy, and what I call” “poofy” i.e. too much volume (LOL I’m not even sure this word exist in the English dictionary). And running around town all day, whose got time to do their own hair?!!


Fabulous Anthony at the NEW Fekkai Madison at The Mark Hotel just gave me Hollywood waves! Luv him:)

I crossed Central Park in a cab all the way to the East Side and arrived at the Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel. The building was so pretty and newly renovated which is kind of rare for NYC, everything is normally so ancient. My service was impeccable, and the best part was that I got to do my nails and my hair at the same time. I felt like I can totally can get used this life. Wouldn’t you?:)


Marta’s nails in Essie Sexy Divine gorge deep black-ish purple:Mani by Gabriela at Fekkai salon The Mark hotel NYC

Loved my hair stylist Anthony! He blew dry my hair and gave the perfect Hollywood curls without even using a curling iron. And Gabriela who did my nails with Essie Sexy Divine did a great job in making my manicure last for 4 days! I yet need to investigate which top coat she used on my nails. I assume it was Essie as well.
