As the highly anticipated co-host of the 71st annual Golden Globes, Tina Fey, actress, producer, best-selling author and comedic goddess, was a stunner not only on the red carpet, but also during her funniest moments on stage with co-host Amy Poehler.
Inspired by the timeless glamour of Carolina Herrera's designs, go-to celebrity hairstylist Richard Marin of CloutierRemix turned to René Furterer's versatile styling products to pull out all the stops to create Tina's three on-trend looks. "The René Furterer products made my night!" Richard says. "I had three looks to accomplish in one evening and on live TV. The layering of the products on Tina's hair worked beautifully and let me achieve the styles and textures I needed to create."
RED CARPET GLAMOUR
STEP 1: Apply René Furterer FIORAVANTI shine enhancing no rinse detangling spray from roots to ends on towel-dried hair. Then blow-drie the hair with a Remington T-Studio Silk Ceramic Dryer.
STEP 2: Next, apply René Furterer LISSEA thermal protecting spray to prep hair for styling with the Remington T-Studio Silk Ceramic Multi-Style Wand to create relaxed waves.
STEP 3 After pulling half of the hair off the face, pinn it in place in the center at the back of the head.
STEP 4: Finally, use the René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY to set the hair naturally, but still give it movement.
CLASSIC BOMBSHELL
STEP 1: To transition into Tina's second look, first take the pins out from the back and mist René Furterer VOLUMEA volumizing conditioning spray - no rinse throughout. Shake the hair while using the Remington T-Studio Silk Ceramic Dryer to loosen the waves.
STEP 2: Next, use the Remington T-Studio Silk Straightening Iron as a curling iron to bend the root of the hair with the edges of the plates. This will create height and texture on the ends of your client's hair.
STEP 3: To lock in the volume, apply René Furterer NATURIA dry shampoo to the roots. Shake the hair for fullness, creating a final, sexy, bombshell look.
SHOW-STOPPING UPDO
STEP 1: For Tina's third and final look, start by working the René Furterer MODELING PASTE throughout the hair, giving it an easy, moveable texture.
STEP 2: Then pull the hair back into a French Twist, pinning two inch sections at a time so you can maintain an easy, loose, touchable feel. This creates a modern, edgy take on a classic updo.
STEP 3: Run the Remington T-Studio Silk Ceramic Multi-Style Wand through the loose pieces along the neckline, creating a bend in the hair with a minimal curl, relaxing and softening the look.
STEP 4: Finally, dabb René Furterer MODELING PASTE to the ends of the wisps to give them a bit of weight.
