SEARCHGlamorous, bouncy blowouts mixed with soft waves and straight strands in cool brown shades were the trends seen at the People's Choice Awards last night, say Wella Professionals. See what Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte and Wella Color Ambassador Aura Friedman had to say about the evening's hit styles.
The 2012 People’s Choice Awards turned into a beauty face-off as America’s beloved A-listers showcased two prominent trends on the red carpet yesterday.
Wella Professionals' Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte said “glamorous, bouncy blowouts” that were “perfect red carpet hair” this season were highlights of the red carpet last night. While subtle simplicity, warm tones and natural beauty were reigning themes yesterday, there was a clear divide between the multi-dimensional, wavy blondes and the super sleek, lustrous brunettes.
Host Kaley Cuoco, Miley Cyrus, Faith Hill, and Julianne Hough all demonstrated the modern yet wildly feminine look—the gradual, three-dimensional color mixed with soft waves gave these ladies maximum definition that left them with a look that was far from forced yet extremely luxurious.
To get the look, LeCompte recommends using Wella Professionals Thermal Image on dry hair before curling for a little bit of hold.
On the other hand, Lea Michele, Nina Dobrev, Whitney Cummings, and Shay Mitchell demonstrated effortless elegance of a whole different kind—straight strands in cool brown shades with fluid texture, volume and a premium finish that was understated and pure. As Wella Color Ambassador Aura Friedman puts it, “this look allows one’s hair color to speak volumes!” Try Wella Professionals Enrich Straightening Balm, applied before you blow-dry, to achieve this look.
According to Wella Professionals' these looks resemble the Wella professionals 2012 Trend, "Grace." See what inspirational styles you can achieve based on this trendy look:
