Mane Event

Get salon-perfect hair at home in four easy steps. By Sara Duck

Engagement parties, showers and tons of other events are coming at you, which means looking fabulous at all times is a must. Great hair is part and parcel of that equation and we understand that running out to your stylist for a blowout before every soiree might not be doable. Taking matters in to your own hands is easier than you think—yes you can achieve salon-perfect hair in your very own bathroom. We asked Howard Barr, Canadian creative consultant for John Frieda Professional Hair Care, for some tips on styling medium to long hair—here are his four easy steps to achieve a gorgeous, sleek and shiny ’do à la Katie Holmes.

1. Apply a mousse to damp hair—this will add volume and help make hair more manageable.

2. Towel hair to remove excess moisture.

3. Begin blow-drying hair at the roots, working down towards the ends. Divide hair into easy-to-manage sections, and use a small round brush to style and smooth hair. Be sure to start this process with the top layers then move to the back and under sections of your hair.

4. Once you’ve finished blow-drying, eliminate fly-aways and polish your coif with a finishing cream—Barr loves Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme ($10, at drug stores).
