Get the look- step by step




Go glam this Christmas with this seasons hottest look- Big bouncy curls as modelled here by the effortlessly stylish Lauren Conrad. No doubt Lauren has a stylist to get her looking this glam for a red carpet event but for us mere mortals here's how to create the look at home:-




  • You want your hair to have lots of volume for this look so start off with a body building shampoo like Paul Mitchell Extra body daily shampoo and follow with Paul Mitchell Extra Body daily rinse conditioner. Concentrating on the lengths and ends to avoid weighing down the roots.
  • When wet, spritz hair with ghd thermal protector to prevent damage from heat styling. Also add a volumising product such as Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting foam to give your style lasting body and flexible hold.-
  • Tip your head upside down and blast the roots then dry the rest off with a big barell brush like Tigi surreal XXL anti static radial hair brush.taking care to lift the roots with the brush as you go. -
  • TOP TIP- finish blow drying with a blast of cold air to seal the cuticle an dgive the hair extra shine.
  • Take section approximately one inch wide and comb through so it's smooth.
    Lightly mist the hair with ghd creation spray to hold the curls for longer and smooth the product through with your fingers.
  • Insert the ghd IV salon styler vertically at the roots, and with your free hand hold onto the ends of the hair. Rotate the styler 180 degrees and then glide down the length of the hair until you reach the ends. Release the curl, catch it with your finger and wrap around.
    TOP TIP: The slower you move the styler, the firmer the curl will be.
  • Apply a polishing serum to the hair for extra definition like 'Tigi Sfactor One Curl at a Time'. Use your fingers to dress and separate the curls, and then lightly mist with Tigi Masterpiece hair spray.-http://www.shoptobenefit.co.uk/tigi-head-masterpiece-300ml-p-1075.html
  • TOP TIP add extra body to fine hair with celeb favourite; Racoon hair extensions ( see October Blog below for more info)
