Get the celeb Oscar look…

While most the stars may have played it safe at the Oscars this year, there was no shortage in gorgeous gowns. Among the most noteworthy was porcelain-skinned beauty Amanda Seyfried’s (your daughter’s idol from Mamma Mia) dazzling Armani Privé gown. Stunningly detailed, John Frieda International Creative Consultant, Harry Josh, did a tremendous job complementing the eye-catching dress with an understated hair look. Now Harry is sharing his styling secrets with us via these easy-to-use tips and tricks!

Harry gave Amanda the new Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner in advance as the frizz-fighting formula was essential to smooth and hydrate dry strands and replenish moisture for a nice, smooth blow out. “These shampoos and conditioners were the perfect way for Amanda to prep her hair,” said Harry. “The look was flat, clean and sleek, so it was important to start the fight against frizz early so that Amanda’s hair would be silky, shiny and totally manageable.”

He then applied the new Root Awakening Strength Restoring Gel to Amanda’s hair at the roots to help achieve the sleek, flattened shape he was going for. Then using a tail comb instead of a round brush to avoid lift, Harry blew the hair out, combing it flat to the head as he dried.

For finishing touches Harry took Sheer Blonde Crystal Clear Shape & Shimmer Hairspray and applied it section by section to hold the style. He then finished by creating an extreme, slick side part and pulling Amanda’s hair back into a bun. He left a little bit of the bun sticking out in a fan, a last minute decision he made to reflect the pattern on Amanda’s earrings.

Easy as one, two, three….right—we can dream of squeezing it in right after we serve up the kids their mac and cheese!
