FRIDA KAHLO
"This is a younger take on an updo and
a great look for thick hair…it's braided
and wrapped around itself on top of the
head. You can add interest to the look
with ribbon or whatever type of accent
you like, or even use extensions for
more volume. I recreated this style on
Jennifer Lopez in 2004 when she went
to the Costume Institute Gala with Domenico
Dolce and Stefano Gabbana-
and I still love that look today."

NATALIE WOOD
"Natalie's look is a beautiful, sexy '60s
kind of updo. Curl the hair and
lock in the shine with Oribe Soft Lacquer
Heat Styling Spray, then brush out the waves
and pin the hair into a French twist with extra
height at the crown. Be sure to keep the style
loose at the front to avoid looking too severe."

MARIA CALLAS
"I love Maria's style. To get
the same look, slick the hair
back and create a beautiful,
simple bun in the back. Oribe
Gel Sérum can keep the updo
in place, or Rock Hard Gel can
offer a more intense hold. For
incredibly thick hair, Supershine
Moisturizing Cream is best for
taming stray hairs and adding
hydration."

AUDREY HEPBURN
"Audrey is timeless. She has this
great French twist with lots of height
in the back…and separation in the
front. Use Oribe Volumista Mist for
volume to create lift (or for thicker
hair, keep the style shiny and in control
with Royal Blowout), and
create separation in the front with
Rough Luxury."
