Last night was very special for me. I had just wrapped up an interview with Lynn Tully, the lead hairdresser at American Idol (for the May 2 episode of Modernsalontv) and was invited to sit in the audience to watch the show.

Sure was...which is why I did some digging to find out what Rihanna's BFF, hairdresser and FHI Heat VisionMaker Ursula Stephen did to get the length, volume and gorgeous finish.
