Talking Makeup’s Top 10 celebrity hair stylist tips:

1. “I always use the same brushes: Mason Pearson for detangling and blowing out bangs and Spornett mixed bristle round brushes for blowouts. The mixed bristles grip the hair and create enough tension to get the hair really smooth without pulling on the hair”-Mark Townsend.

2. “There are so many to choose from now days so make sure you understand your hair type, etc. Do you have fine hair or thick hair or kinky hair….this makes a big difference in what shampoo and conditioner would be right for you. Fekkai has a very wide range of shampoos and conditioners that I love that would fit almost all hair-types out there…. Experiment till you find the one that makes your hair soft and shiny without leaving too much residue or buildup on your hair”-Adir Abergel.

3. “It is always important to apply strong volumizer on the roots to achieve a full and glamorous base. Polished, soft and natural curls always add to a glamorous look the without appearing too overdone. A good tip to make the hair fall glamorously around the face is to line the hair in proportion with the cheekbones. This tip emphasizes the beauty and the overall effect of the hairstyle”-Oscar Blandi.

4. “Moisture”-Jamal Hammadi.

5. “My number one hair care tip is: invest in good hair products and visit your hairstylist frequently. Don’t be afraid of asking your hairstylist questions - that is part of their craft”-Omar Lopez.

6. “The Cutler Fly-Away Control Stick is definitely a must-have. It’s easy to travel with and great to pull out to add shine and bring down fly-aways. Another great product is Redken’s Workforce 09 hairspray it’s lightweight and adds shine”-Rodney Cutler.

7. “Texture hair is always in need of moisture, conditioning, and a good stylist who understands their hair type. Most stylists are not trained to understand our hair, so a lot of Caucasian stylist will turn them away”-Kiyah Wright.

8. “The biggest mistake people make is going to the salon when they are emotional. It is important to explain to your stylist your lifestyle whether it is work, family or friends”-Kaz Amor.

9. “I cannot live without Vavoom Gold Heat Iron-In Control Protective Dry Mist! This is the product I used to create Reese’s straight, sleek, shiny hair for the Globes. You spray the hair with this, then run a flat iron over the hair and it seals the hair and fights against humidity”-Mark Townsend.

10. ” I love to use jasmine oil on my clients because I am usually working under fast turn around so it is easy enough for women to use it every day”-Oscar Blandi.

Oscar Blandi created a non-traditional chignon for Faith Hill at the 2008 Grammy Awards-”We wanted a clean polished look to compliment Faith’s Valentino gown. I used an off-centered chignon that has a natural mess to it, with more curls and lots of definition. She looked absolutely beautiful.” Oscar Blandi.

How to get Faith Hill’s look at home? “I started by spraying my Jasmine Protein Mist on the hair, to just lightly re-wet the hair. I sprayed Wave Enhancing Spray to the roots to give it volume and then blew the hair dry. I used 1 and 1/2 curling iron and then pinned the curls, letting the hair set for 10 minutes. I then gathered the hair in a low, off centred pony tail and began pinning curls. I added more body and texture to the bottom curls, in order to to add thickness, in order to add thickness and body to the chingon. As I got closer to the last few pieces, I kept them smooth and finished sculpting the chignon.  To finish the look, I used a little Seta to smooth over the hair and any fly-away pieces.” Oscar Blandi. 

Oscar Blandi’s Toolkit: Oscar Blandi Jasmine Protein Mist ($18, at Sephora)-infused with soy and wheat proteins, this styling aid seal the cuticle. This allows the hair to withstand the heat and abuse we subject our hair when using flat/curling iron or blow dryer so that we can achieve the same look from the initial style.
