Amber Heard
The Updo—Textured and Loosely Structured
Why It’s Chic: It’s not too “done” but it’s definitely structured—definitely not a DIY look! What’s more, the fuller shape is flattering to many facial structures and sizes. A severely scraped-back style is difficult to wear for most women.
Tips: To encourage the texture, rough dry the hair rather than smoothing it completely. Then apply Matrix Design Pulse Mega Dust—it produces a gritty texture that expands the hair, which is perfect for providing an updo with structure. Then create a pincurl set. Once hair cools, release the pins, backcomb and create the shape.
George’s Secret: Create a small, square section at the back of the head and gather it into a mini ponytail to serve as the anchor for the rest of the style

The Waves: Hollywood Glam
Why It’s Chic: Polished waves like these are timeless—they’ll look up-to-date in wedding photos for years to come!
Tips: Study your beauty school setting patterns, but swap out rollers for barrel curls created with a curling iron. Mist each section with Matrix Biolage Freeze Fix Hairspray before setting.
George’s Secret: Release each curl and comb through individually with a Mason Pearson brush to polish the hair; then backcomb gently.

The Half and Half—Elegant Side-Sweep
Why It’s Chic: Many brides prefer to wear their hair down—they feel that they look more like “themselves.” These lovely waves, with one side gathered and pinned, is a great way to dress up everyday hair without taking it too far.
Tips: Apply Biolage VOLUMEBLOOM Full-Lift Spray-In at the roots and blow dry the hair, encouraging maximum volume. Create soft, loose waves with a curling iron—these should be less structured than the Hollywood waves. Sweep one side up and back and secure with a hairpin behind the ear.
George’s Secret: Brides love the side-sweep because it’s a natural spot for a pretty hair ornament!
