Get the Style:
Hair Stylist David Babaii styled Emma Stone's beautiful soft waves with products from IT&LY HAIRFASHION's Purity Design Line for the awards this year. He began with IT&LY Pure Shampoo and Pure Conditioner to cleanse and hydrate the hair. "I love a clean canvas to create my masterpieces," says Babaii. Inside tip: Follow with a final cool water rinse for when you want extra volume. This seals the cuticle and helps hair radiant extra shine. Next, towel dry gently to remove all excess water then apply IT&LY Pure Style Mousse for hold and lift.
When blow drying, he divided her hair into three sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. Taking small sections and starting at the nape, Babaii used the nozzle attachment on his blow dryer and finished the drying process with a medium round brush to smooth hair straight. When finished drying the entire head, he took large sections and wrapped ¾" of it around the inside of a large barrel curling iron, holding for 10 seconds. Carefully he released the section and completed the entire head in the same manner. To finish, spray with a flexible hair spray.

Babaii recommends using IT&LY Colorly 2020 9TN (Light Honey Blonde) with 30 volume and Easily Blonde Highlights with 20 volume.
