For your next night out, learn how to achieve these four award show looks with step-by-steps from Natasha Sunshine:

Down the Green Carpet:
5 Steps to a Modern Downstyle

1.      To achieve this Modern Look, begin with clean dry hair. Mist hair with Pureology’s InCharge Flexible Styling Spray.
2.      Using a 1 ½ inch curling iron, set entire head (from the mid-shaft down) in a candy cane fashion, winding each section around the curling iron.
3.      Using the front section from the hairline to the back of the ear and twist section back behind the ear.
4.      Secure twist with two bobby pins crossing one another in an “X” shape.
5.      Continue to the opposite side and follow step four again.

Hot Tip #1: No need to open the iron; simply wrap hair down and around the wand holding the ends with your fingers.

Hot Tip #2: Make sure to change the direction of your sections so hair looks natural versus contrived.

A Green Carpet Wave:
5 Steps to 40’s Waves…

1.      To achieve this glamorous look, begin with damp hair. Use a nickel size of NanoGlaze for light hold and serious shine. Quick dry hair with blowdryer.
2.      Section hair in two large sections (bottom and top). Starting at the nape, take 2” wide sections using a 1” curling iron to set the bottom section until complete.
3.      Drop the top section down and begin at the top front of the head creating three-barrel curls rolled away from the face in a Mohawk fashion.
4.      Continue on to finish setting the remaining hair.
5.      Using a dime size of SuperSmooth SmoothingElixir, run fingers through the hair to blend all the curls.

Hot Tip #1: Make sure to clip the three Mohawk barrel curls while setting to get distinct waves around the face.

Up The Green Carpet:
5 Steps to The Braids Rage…

1.      To achieve this Boho look, begin with clean dry hair. Use a nickel size of StylingLotion and run through front of dry hair for hold and shine.
2.      Choose one or both sides and create your French braid.
3.      Pull remaining hair back into a ponytail.
4.      Back comb or lace ponytail and spray with InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.
5.      Leave loose or pin up ponytail into an uncontrived bun.

Hot Tip #1: Make sure to have a loose grip on hair when braiding for a sifter effect.

Pinned to the Green Carpet:
4 Steps to The 40’s Pin Up…

1.      Follow steps above to achieve 40’s Waves.
2.      Taking loose hair in 2 – 3” sections, twist up and tuck hair under securing with 2 bobby pins in “X” fashion to lock pins in.
3.      Continue all the way around head until all hair is pinned up.
4.      Spray with InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray

Hot Tip #1: Make sure bobby pins are pinned at the scalp with a secure “X” fashion to prevent sagging.
