If you caught the 70th Annual Golden Globes, “The Kate Hudson” look was a style to remember. Hudson looked dashing with her healthy, shiny hair in a style that emphasized pure Hollywood beauty. “As the perfect ‘Muse’ and inspiration, Kate is my generation’s Brigitte Bardot showing off soft voluptuous hair that is touchable, glamorous and now Kate’s very own signature look,” says Celebrity Stylist David Babaii who styled Hudson for the awards.
HOW HE GOT THE LOOK:
STEP 1: Babaii started with IT&LY's Pure Water Drops Serum before blow drying. Then, he added IT&LY's Pure Style Mousse Strong and used a medium round brush at the root area to add volume. Then he switched to a large round brush to smooth and create soft rounded edges.
STEP 2: After drying, Babaii created a natural side part spritzing IT&LY's Pure Volumizing Eco at the base for added lift and down the shaft for more piecey definition. For her fringe, he wrapped the bang area around a medium round brush spraying a small amount of IT&LY's Pure Volumizing Eco again.
STEP 3: With the blow dryer temperature on high, he directed heat on the brush followed by a quick blast of cool air to set. Gently he removed the brush to release the fringe.
STEP 4: With his fingers he combed through and allowed the hair to fall naturally into place. To finish, he misted the hair with a flexible hairspray.
