The Oscars have come and gone. You know what they wore. Now, find out how to get their fabulous hair.
David Babaii, who styled the locks of both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman on Sunday, was kind enough to share his steps to creating their glorious down 'dos.
Of course, you'll need to use all David Babaii products, right?
ANGELINA JOLIE
1. "To achieve this romantic cascade of curls, I sprayed her entire head with David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray and scrunched it into the hair.
This gives just the right texture and hold."
2. "Next, I dried her hair by dividing her tresses into three sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. Taking small sections starting at the nape, use a blowdryer with a nozzle attachment and finish the drying process with a large round brush to smooth hair straight."
3. "At the crown area, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier to the root area and down the hair shaft. Then, I dried this section with a jumbo round brush to add lift and volume."
5. "To curl, use the Styling Iron to create "ribbon curls" by taking small "V" shaped sections. To achieve, wrap the hair around and inside the styling iron close to the scalp area and pull the iron down (similar to curling ribbon)."
**Note: Using "V" shaped sections eliminates the appearance of parting in the hair.**
6. "After curling the entire head, I smoothed some of the curls with a brush while leaving some intact."
7. "At the crown area, I back-brushed the hair at the scalp area only, sprayed some additional Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier and gently smoothed the surface not to remove too much of the back-brushing."
8. "Next, to create her half-up, half down look, I brushed the sides up and back and secured with pins."
9. "To complete the back, I ran my fingers up several curls to create volume and variations in texture. For a long but natural lasting hold, I used David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray."
NICOLE KIDMAN--"This Oscar Look is all about glamorizing the bob."
1. "After thoroughly towel drying, I applied David Babaii for WildAid Amplifying Whipped Mousse for volume and hold."
2. "I dried thehair by dividing it into three sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. Creating small sections, start at the nape and use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment. Dry each section with a medium round brush to smooth and create a soft round bend to the ends."
3. "Once again, section the hair into three sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free."
4. "To create waves, form "V" shaped pieces and use the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron. Run the styling iron down the hair shaft from close to the roots to the ends to create a sleek, smooth look. Repeat, now half way down the hair shaft utilize the beveled edge by turning the styling iron (like a curling iron) to create a soft curl."
5. "Clip each curl and spray with David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray."
6. "Alternate the direction of each row of curls in order to achieve a finger wave effect. When finished, gently brush and form into soft waves using my David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold."
7. "To finish, I brushed back one side and secured with a decorative hair pin."
