Let’s look at some of the hottest trends shown on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Here we saw a variety of chignons, most of them utilizing texture created in the hair from iron work. Among some of the most beautiful were: Charlize Theron, Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland, Lea Michelle, and Mila Kunis.

We also saw some beautiful waves worn down created by taking larger sections with a medium to large barrel curling iron, and wrapping the hair around the rod of the iron in a spiral manner to get these long natural looking waves. Among the celebs wearing this trend were: Katharine McPhee, Salma Hayek, and Reese Witherspoon.
I’m a big fan of natural hair texture. When I work with my clients in the salon I begin by evaluating their own natural hair texture before deciding on the right hair cut.
I like to create the shape based on what I know will be the easiest way for my clients to style their hair. Most of the time this involves choosing the correct product for the hair texture, knowing how much product to use and in what order to apply them.
After we decide on the shape we can talk about versatility. Not everyone has waves, texture or curls naturally. To get versatility in your cut might involve blow dry and iron techniques. There are many sizes of curling irons today and they work for creating a vast array of texture in the hair.
It’s fun to play with these techniques, so whether your going to a special event or just another night out you can be trend ready and feeling beautiful.
Remember, when using a lot of heat on your hair, use a thermal protectant spray. I recommend the Privé Thermal Protection Detangling Spray before you blow dry and iron your hair. And, always replenish with deep conditioning treatments. One of my favorites is the Rene Futerer Carthame Gentle Hydro-Nutritive Mask.
