Hairstyle of the Day

I love browsing through other hair and beauty blogs and one of my favorites is Instyle’s Look of the Day post. In case you’re not familiar with this, they post a picture of a new celebrity each day, talk about what their wearing and have links to where to go to buy their outfits. It’s a cool concept but I’m always sad that they never mention the hair!

Ladies—you can’t forget about the hair! So here’s what I’m going to do. Each day I will post a link to the Instyle Look of the Day so you can see the celebrity picture they have chosen. Then come back here and I’ll tell you how to style your hair just like hers and what products you’ll need to do it. Sound good? Well, all right then—let’s go!

Today’s Instyle Look of the Day

Michelle Monaghan’s hairstyle is basic but chic. Her hair is basically one length with face framing layers carved in the front. Her bangs are full and blunt to complete this clean-cut look.

This style is really only going to work if you have super straight hair. Other wise you’re going to be fighting with it constantly. Even though you have straight hair I still recommend a smoothing serum be applied to your damp hair first to eliminate any frizz/fly aways and to promote lots of shine.

Evenly distribute the serum through your damp hair. You’ll need a vent brush and a large round brush while blow drying. Start with the bangs and have the blow drier set on low. Use the vent brush to get the bangs as straight and low profile as possible (using the round brush will make them form a big bang bubble).

Once the bangs are dry section off the rest of the hair and pin up the top section for now. Starting at the roots, move the large round brush through to the ends while you follow it with the nozzle of the blow drier. Keep repeating this process, section by section, until all your hair is dry. When you get to the front give those shorter layers an extra “twist of the wrist” with the brush to bend them inward.

Finish off with a little light hair wax just to barely define the front layers and you’re good to go.
