3 Red Carpet Hair Cheats

Inspired by the recently passed Oscars ceremony I have made some recent attempts to glam up my hair when going out. And as it turns out there are some misconceptions about what celebrities on the red carpet do to have such amazingly looking hair every time they get caught in the eye of the camera. Here are the 3 cheats that you can apply yourself in order to look amazing for a special occasion.

Dirty styles better…

This might sound surprising but it is true. It is normal for most of us to immediately wash our hair even when going for a style with the hair up for a special occasion. But really dirty hair styles better, because when it is freshly washed it is much more light, frizzy and super hard to work with. What you can do about it – wash your hair the night before the event and then use dry hair styling products and things like dry shampoo to make it more voluminous. I guarantee this way your up-do will hold better.

How to do perfect curls

At the Oscars or any other red carpet events even naturally curly celebs have their curls super sleek and perfect. This has nothing to do with what their real hair looks like… Even if it is naturally curly the best way to do curls is by straightening the hair first. Since I use flat iron to make my waves, what I would do is run the iron one time through the strand, before actually curling it.

Their hair is just so gorgeous…

You know how celebrity hair is always nice, long and voluminous and at the same time so natural? Well you won’t believe how much of it is actually not real. Most of them wear extensions for the more intricate styles that need more style, and one can’t even tell. So go ahead and use that cheat as well. There are plenty of options on the market and you can always have your hair dresser cut them according to your hair. If you use them to glam up a pony tail for example it will hardly ever be noticeable.

So go ahead, glam away, be gorgeous and rock your own red carpet!
