Trend to Try: Halo Braid Headbands

May 22, 2012 @ 5:45 pm

Hollywood is having a Heidi moment with stars like Lea Michele, Sarah Gadon, and Alicia Keys opting for braided updos. “This style looks great from every angle, and exudes a fun and youthful vibe,” said hairstylist Marcus Francis, who created Gadon’s halo-plait look for the Cannes Film Festival. To try the look yourself, Francis recommends prepping hair with a volumizer (he loves Phyto Volume Actif, $35; sephora.com) to build up thickness, then adding a spritz of texturizer to keep the braid from slipping. Amp up the style and add lift by loosening the front twist with a tail comb before securing with hair pins. “This creates a slightly more dressy version to the headband braid because of the height,” Francis added. Tell us: Would you try this look?

Glee Finale: Where to Find Lea Michele’s Apple Necklace

May 22, 2012 @ 5:25 pm

On tonight’s Glee finale, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) wears a tiny red apple pendant to celebrate her move to New York City—and the design was all Michele’s idea! “Since Rachel’s obsession is to get to New York to start her career, Lea thought why not have her wear a little apple necklace for The Big Apple,” Glee costume designer Lou Eyrich told InStyle.com. The red enamel pendant was custom-designed by Ryan Ryan Jewelry, the same company that created the starFinn, and “R” pendants that Rachel has worn on the show. The necklace is available for $215 to $299 on mcssl.com in variations of white, rose and yellow gold with red or white enamel. Watch the finale tonight at 9/8c on FOX.

Lea Michele’s Bangs and Beachy Waves Combo: Get the Look

May 16, 2012 @ 3:01 pm

The bangs and beachy waves combo is one Lea Michele effortlessly mastered, especially this week at a FOX Upfront event in New York City. And it’s a look her hairstylist Sarah Potempa chose carefully. “With Lea’s bangs, this style helps to add volume and texture, and the bouncy waves draw attention to her eyes,” Potempa told InStyle.com. To create the look, Potempa separated the Glee star’s strands into two sections, split each into three horizontal rows, and used her self-rotating Beachwaver ($199; sarahpotempa.com) to create the soft waves. For the finishing touch, she adds: “Remember to wait until both sides have cooled before running fingers through your hair. With this kind of pattern, it needs to stay in that shape until your hair cools.”
