Holiday Trends & Gift Guide 2008

If updos are your go-to party look, try mixing it up with glam Old-Hollywood waves. To get Lake Bell’s gorgeous hair, start by applying a volumizing spray to wet hair and blowing it dry with a large, round boar-bristle brush. When hair is dry, take a large-barrel curling iron and wrap sections half-way up the shaft, holding the iron vertically. Smooth a drop of shine serum lightly over the hair, avoiding the root area so that hair doesn’t look greasy, and finish with a light coat of hairspray for lasting hold.
