NYC & The Blowout

Every city has their thing.  In New York City, it's all about the blow out.  Good hair is our best accessory.  I have to admit, I may write the how-tos (thanks to stylist interviews) and test out all of the latest hair products but when it comes to blowing out my own hair, it's a big fail.  I do it, but it never looks quite as good as when I get it professionally done. That's where Marianna comes in.  Years ago she trained under Fekkai and traveled the world working as a stylist, but I found her at Besu Salon in Gramercy Park (the same place I get my brows threaded).  She sets each section of hair after its dried in rollers, takes them out and I swear I experience a miracle every single time.  The best part – her blow outs are under $60.

Get Jessica Biel's Blow Out

Jessica Biel looked stunning as usual at MTV Movie Awards last week.  Her stylist, Mark Townsend, gave me the scoop on how to achieve her glossy  blow out and it's easier than you think.  Check it out: "I wanted Jessica's hair to be cool, modern and beautiful just like her," commented Townsend.  "We were both inspired by Brigitte Bardot's loose, sexy vibe."

On damp hair, he applied Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse and then blow dried in sections with a large round brush to give the hair lift and movement.  When completely dry, Townsend spritzed Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray for natural hold.
