| Face Shape: | Oval. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to medium with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Blunt line starting at the hollow of the neck with rounded layering throughout the bottom of the style. |
| Why it works: | This emphases is on a sultry look. The tight sides with an over-directed looser top give the beautiful dangling earrings room to shine. |
| To style: | For fine hair, use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair, use David Groshen’s famous “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.
Comb the hair straight back and use a medium to round boar bristle brush creating as much height and volume toward the top of the crown as possible. Lift, bend and stretch each section as you blow dry the hair throughout the back of the head, creating a beautiful soft under-turn. Clip the hair at the top of the crown out of the way. Then lift the hair at the temples and secure in the back of the head with a bobby pin. Do the same on the opposite side. Back comb the front to the back of the crown. Use David Groshen Finishing Spray to set the back combing and brush out the front of the hair, restoring a natural looking root direction. Use Finishing Spray to make this look solid. |

| Face Shape: | Heart to square. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to medium with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Slightly beyond shoulder length to help the slight upward turn. Front fringe starting at the nose, blending into the sides. Long, progressive layers release movement through the bottom of the style. |

Preset the deep set side part, combing the hair forward from the top of the crown and then over and directly back behind that. While the hair is wet, use a medium sized round boar bristle brush to blow-dry the hair from the nape to just below the crown in an upward direction. Use David Groshen Hair Polish to smooth and place the front wave. Tuck the light side behind the ear and you are fabulous! |
January Jones

| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to medium with a wave. |
| Cut: | Collarbone length hair with the front angle starting just above the chin. Use this as a guide to start your layering. |
| Why it works: | The off-center, slightly irregular part creates the mood for a natural tousled elegance. |
| To style: | For fine hair, use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair, use David’s famous “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.
Preset the slightly off–center part while the hair is wet (but not too perfectly). Using a medium sized round boar bristle brush, blow-dry each section allowing the hair to cool completely while still on the brush. Use a 1 ½ inch round curling iron through the bottom 2/3’s of each section. Give a blast of David Groshen Finishing Spray, turn your head upside down, tousle gently, place and separate the waves with David Groshen Hair Polish. |
Hilary Swank

| Face Shape: | Long square face. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to medium with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Collarbone length with the front angle starting just above the chin. Use the long layers as a guide to start your style. |
| Why it works: | The long flowing first wave creates a width and exposes a very strong jaw line on the opposite side. |
| To style: | For fine hair, use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair, use David’s famous “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.Preset the side part while the hair is wet. Using a medium sized round boar bristle brush, make sure to maintain the part direction at the front to create the first flowing wave. Continue drying each section with the same brush, allowing each section to cool while still on the brush. This should create a smoother top with an increased wave pattern toward the bottom. If you don’t have enough wave, don’t be afraid to use a 1 ½-inch round iron to create this beautiful wave pattern. |
Halle Berry
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Hair Texture: | Medium to coarse with waves. |
| Cut: | Tightly textured through the temples and nape area, progressing textured lengths to the top of the crown. This shape is not so much how short you take it, but how carefully you take it short. |
| Why it works: | The vertical emphasis of this shape with the long textured top draws attention to Halle’s chiseled features. |
| To style: | While the hair is wet, apply David Groshen Waxed Out, making sure to create an even distribution. Hold and lift the crown area with your hand and blow dry to create this lift and separation. If necessary, use a twizzling effect with your fingers to separate and place each wave. Use additional Waxed Out if necessary. |
Ginnifer Goodwin
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Hair Texture: | Medium to course with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Ginnifer’s hair is tightly tapered with loads of texture, starting from the nape of the neck to the occipital bone and forward to the temples. The round layering adds length to the top of the crown and progresses to the longer textured front fringe. |
| Why it works: | The deep set part and diagonal front run beautifully into the perfectly fringed sides adding soft feminine elegance. |
| To style: | Towel dry the hair, and while the hair is slightly wet use David Groshen Waxed Out, making sure to distribute evenly for the perfect hold. Style, placing emphasis on your beautiful, feminine fringes. |
Felicity Huffman
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Long heart shape. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to medium with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Classic bob starting just below the hairline with a slightly longer front. Little or no graduation through the back and sides. Slight angle through the front perimeter to create gentle movement. |
| Why it works: | The combination of color and wave are delicately intertwined to create beautiful, cascading waves across the cheekbones for Felicity’s well-defined jaw line. |

Christina Aguilera
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Blunt cut starting just below the nape of the neck. Use this as a length guide all the way around the hair cut. No graduation– extremely blunt. The front fringe starts at the tip of the nose with a very gentle graduation into the blunt line. |
| Why it works: | The front fringe creates a hint of movement framing eyes anyone would kill for. |
| To style: | Apply David Groshen’s “Secret Egg Formula.” Preset the part while the hair is still wet. Use a vent brush to create volume throughout the roots with the exception of the front fringe. Use a medium boar bristle brush through the front fringe with a slight lift, bend through the middle and pull the ends straight. Check to make sure you are creating the shape that you desire. Use a flat iron through the bottom 2/3’s to create this ultra-straight look. Use David Groshen Hair Polish to smooth and place the front fringe. |
Carey Mulligan
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Square to heart. |
| Hair Texture: | Fine to Medium with a slight wave. |
| Cut: | Carey’s hair is tightly tapered starting from the nape of the neck to the occipital bone and forward to the temples. The round layering allows you to add length to the top of the crown and a progressing length through to the front fringe. |
| Why it works: | The deep set part and long, swoopy front run beautifully into the tightly cropped sides, creating an elegant frame. |
| To style: | While the hair is wet, use David Groshen Medium Gel. Comb into the side part and place the front fringe into a sweep. Give a blast of David Groshen Finishing Spray. Allow to dry completely. Brush lightly and you are done. |
Rebecca Romijn
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Square. |
| Color: | Blonde on blonde. |
| Cut: | Collarbone-length hair with the short point starting just above her chin, and long progressive layers. |
| Why it works: | The direction from the part creates openness at the forehead and allows the hair to drape down in a diagonal. Perfect placement of the waves frame and enhance her eyes and cheekbones. |
| To style: | For fine to medium hair use David Groshen Lite Gel. For coarse hair use Lite Gel with a dot of Orange Stuff, a “blue egg” if you will.
You need to part the hair, creating the root direction up and back in a C-Shape as a staging point for the waves to flow. Blow-dry the hair taking care not to disturb or change the direction you’ve established. Use a 1 ½-inch curling iron on small sections and allow to cool while proceeding to the next section. Do not separate until the hair is completely cool. Gently separate with Hair Polish to create perfectly formed strands. |
