Hollywood Hair Report: We Love Carrie Bradshaw's Hairstyles

I just LOVED Carrie's hair in SATC.
Her lovely lady locks looked Chic and Effortlessly Beautiful on SATC.

Here are some HOW-TOs for those Fab Hairstyles

The Look is Long Sexy Waves
This style works well with natural wave or texture to it. To style, let hair air-dry halfway, then finish drying with a rough blow-dry. Smooth with a paddle brush, then use a 1-1/2 inch curling iron to create the waves. Wrap small section of hair arond the barrel, holding it vertically. Repeat around the entire head and set with a light hairspray.
Insider Trick
An undone, slightly crooked part adds to the playfulness and ease of this look.


The Look is Dramatic Side Bun
Spitz wet hair with a styling tonic and blow-dry with a large round brush. Create a deep side part and comb hair across the ear, pulling it to a low ponytail (but don't secure it with an elastic). Twist the ponytail up and to the side, tucking in the ends as you reach the end. Secure with hair-colored bobby pins. Finish with hairspray and a pretty clip.
Insider Trick
If you have thin or short hair, this isn't the best style for you - it's best done with long thick locks.

The Look is Soft, Natural Waves
Sprtiz wave spray onto wet hair and let air-dry. To give hair a little extra wave, braid sections of hair while it's still wet and remove when dry. Smaller waves yeild tighter waves.
