Christian Marc Styles Orianthi, Lead Guitarist for "This Is It"

Christian Marc, lead stylist for Orianthi, the Australian musician best known as Michael Jackson's lead guitarist for his "This Is It" comeback show as well as for her hit single "According To You," uses several Rene Furterer products to create her flowing waves and fun fringe. 

Here are his secrets on creating her perfect finish:

• First, I apply some leave-in conditioner (usually René Furterer Carthame, a no-rinse, daytime moisturizing conditioner) from the ends to mid-part. Then I use a combination of Shu Uemura Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray and René Furterer Volumea (a no-rinse, volumizing conditioning spray) to create a great base with body and volume.

• Next, I quickly dry the hair and once it's dry, I use a medium barreled curling iron to create loose waves.  I spritz each curled section with René Furterer Finishing spray instant hold to set it.  Then I break up the curls with a paddle brush and smooth out the hair.

• To polish the look, I apply Kerastase Nutritive Serum Nutri Sculpt to the ends and Shu Uemura White Tea Polishing Milk to the lengths, giving definition and shine to the waves.

• For her bangs, I blow dry them with a medium sized round brush and apply René Furterer Styling wax at the tips to give them some shine and definition.

• I finish off the look with another spritz of René Furterer Finishing spray instant hold to keep everything in place-through head banging, running from stage left to stage right and wardrobe changes.
