For 2010 Oscar night, Cameron Diaz wore an elegant metallic Oscar de la Renta gown and a luminous hair look reminiscent of the Old Hollywood glamour of Veronica Lake – created with a modern point of view by stylist Lona Vigi.

How to get Cameron Diaz’ Oscars 2010 hairdo: Vigi started by spraying on a volumizer, then used the high-tech Velecta Paramount Paris TGR 4000i hairdryer to create texture and shine in a unique way. The dual-function French-made dryer is built with the ability to turn an ionics switch off to build volume, and then back on to create shine and smoothness.

She first blow dried the hair with ionics turned off, volumizing by taking small sections of hair and using a medium round bristle brush to dry the hair back and up using high velocity and heat. Vigi then “set” the hair and gave it a boost of shine by turning on both the ionics switch and cool button to lock in curls and add a polished shine. She then freed the barrel curls and held each one in place with a pin.

Vigi waited a few minutes then brushed out the hair, created a loose, soft wave pattern then brought one side behind the ear and the other forward toward the face. She then finished with a light misting of hairspray.

“This professional hairdryer is really great,” said Vigi “and being able to turn ionics off and then on again was huge for me in creating this look. I love its speed, lightness and compact size. There’s nothing like it.” Velecta Paramount Paris is France’s oldest and most respected maker of professional hairstyling tools, with each carefully designed dryer made by hand by the same specialist, unique in the industry. The dryer has a cult following among top salon, runway and celebrity stylists.

This last weekend I bought the 1875W SuperSolano Professional Hairdryer as my backup blow dryer. I can’t wait to try this one. I’ve been using SuperSolano for years, a tip I got from a hairdresser in Bumble & Bumble salon in New York where I used to do my hair. I stop buying it because I got distracted with other brands lol. *So guys, I’m will keep you posted with my review:)

*An Update: 1875W SuperSolano Professional Hairdryer was and is THE best hairdryer I’ve ever owned! It’s powerful so if you have long thick hair like me it will cut down drying time. It gets hair super straight and sometimes you would even want to skip on styling iron. And it’s priced pretty fair, just over $100. The SuperSolano is a salon quality blow dryer at home! Perfect.

1875W SuperSolano Professional Hairdryer is available at ULTA and ulta.com. SRP: $119.
