Home Hair Care Series: Best Step-By-Step Celebrity-Inspired Hairstyles

Tools you’ll need:

• Heat protection serum – Iles Formula Finishing Serum
• A flat iron or curling iron – typically 1 ¼ and ½ inch are the best sizes. (We love the GHD curling iron).
• Wide-tooth comb – Iles Formula Distribution Comb

Let’s get to it with the easy steps below!

1. Begin by drying your hair after applying our Iles Formula Finishing Serum to the mid-length and ends. The best products used by Wendy is a Dyson or Harry Josh dryer.
2. Beginning from the bottom, take 1-inch sections.  Place the iron 3 inches from the root area, close the tong clamp, and twist half to fully around 1 time. We like to make this movement away from the face. Allow it to sit for 3 seconds then, move the iron down in a sliding movement to about 2 to 3 inches and repeat.
3. In other words, there is a gap of no-curl between the curl movements you make. Repeat the process again, until you reach the ends, leaving out at least an inch of the ends of your hair. Note that the ends should not be curly, but not straight either, so fine-tune them by sliding the tong through them, but not curling them.
4. Allow all of the twists to cool in place.
5. Once you've finished with your entire head, use your Iles Formula Distribution Comb to comb out all of the twists you have created. Finalize using your fingers to detail the waves. If you find it’s a little too curly, just blast the hair all over for about 30 seconds with a burst of hot air from your dryer. It works every time.
6. Apply our Finishing Serum to add separation to the waves and, if you normally use a hair texturizing spray, we suggest skipping that step and just using more of our serum by piecing it on the strands and allowing it to dry in naturally as Wendy did on Heidi's beach waves above. This will deliver the most sumptuous touchable hair texture and help the style to last all day while protecting hair from the elements.

For the 70th Cannes Film Festival, Wendy was her appointed hairstylist producing this stunning blurred wave hairstyle that was spotted on the red carpet.

Tools you’ll need:

• Hairdryer – Wendy prefers the Dyson
• Hair protection – Iles Formula Finishing Serum
• Large/medium-sized curling iron

Learn this chic, easy hair-do now:

1. After shampooing, tilt the head forward to blow dry the roots. This is the perfect technique to boost volume. Consider the Dyson hairdryer – its high-tech abilities reduce static electricity that happens when hair is blow-dried.
2. Draw a slightly off-center line brushing from the neck upwards and apply the Iles Formula Finishing Serum to the lengths ONLY to protect against heat.
3. Alternate between a large or medium curling iron and randomly grab sections to curl.
4. Simply use the hairdryer to pump up the hair messing it slightly WITHOUT a brush (only with your fingers) to let the curls fall freely.
