In the age of social media, Facebook and Twitter, it is more important than ever for women to have a professional headshot of themselves to share with the online world. Celebrity hairstylist Kevin Mancuso – who has worked on countless photo shoots with the likes of Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, America Ferrara and Cindy Crawford to name a few – can show you exactly how to capture that picture perfect hair.
“In my experience, I’ve noticed that women either over do it or don’t do enough to prepare for a photo shoot. Try to go for a more natural look when preparing for your headshot to ensure the photograph captures the best and most beautiful version of you.” – Kevin Mancuso, Nexxus Creative Director
On March 10th, 2010, Kevin appeared as a guest on Bravo’s hit reality hair competition Shear Genius Season 3, where he judged the work of top stylists. From years of experience on photo shoots, Kevin provided his insights on exactly what works and what doesn’t.
Nexxus Comb Thru Finishing Mist
Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Hold Design and Finishing Mist hairspray is my new favorite. I apply it last, after I’m done styling my hair. Nexxus Comb Thru adds even more shine to my hair and makes my blow out last. It’s not sticky and it doesn’t make my hair feel like a broom stick. 🙂

Yesterday marked the New York premiere of the hotly anticipated “September Issue” – a documentary following legendary Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.

With the help of celebrity hair stylist Kevin Mancuso, Miller was looking “en Vogue” by showcasing one of this season’s best trends – disheveled glam.
If you are looking to recreate a Sienna Miller inspired look at home, Kevin offers his step-by-step styling tips for this red carpet look below.
The Look: Hair is worn down with loose, bohemian-chic waves
Prep: Enhance your natural texture by applying a volumizing or curling mousse, such as Nexxus Mousse Plus
…or Nexxus Gorgeous Curls, at the root and spreading to the ends. Flip head over and blow hair around while massaging the roots with your finger tips. This will help build texture into the style.

The video is called: MAC Makeup Eye Liner Application Backstage at Vivienne Tam. A makeup artist applies MAC eye liner on a model. Next time I should try to make the video a bit longer.
Get the Look: Natalie Portman Oscars 2009 from Kevin Mancuso
Retro ruled the red carpet last night, with 30s, 40s and 50s glamour on display. Smooth waves and constructed pinning ushered in new, softer styles that were timelessly elegant.
Kevin Mancuso, Creative Director for Nexxus Salon Hair Care, created the modern and romantic updo worn by presenter Natalie Portman. With a sweeping side part and soft curl, pinned into a beautiful knot at the nape of her neck, the look was deceptively easy to create. Kevin described how to get the look below in a few simple steps.
How-to Get Natalie Portman’s hairstyle at Oscars 2009:
Step 1: Apply a volumizing styler to the roots, like Nexxus Root Exxtend, to add body into the hair.
Distribute a medium-hold mousse, such as Nexxus Mousse Plus, throughout hair to and maintain and support the structure of the style. More modern updos employ product instead of teasing to build body, for a softer, healthier look. Blow dry hair with a large round brush, concentrating on the ends to smooth the hair.
