America Ferrera
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Square to heart. |
| Color: | Deep, chestnut brown with mocha highlights. |
| Cut: | Three inches beyond the collarbone with the front angles starting at her nose. Progressive layers throughout to release big, beautiful waves. |
| Why it works: | The openness at the forehead and the cascading first wave accentuates her cheekbone and highlights her smile. |
| To style: | For fine to medium hair use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For medium to coarse hair, just use Orange Stuff.
Start with a multi-directional part. Using the center of your eyebrow as a guide, part the hair diagonally back an inch to the center of your crown. Section the hair into four sections. Starting at the back of the head, use a medium round boar bristle brush and allow the hair to cool while still on the brush. Continue this through each section making sure to maintain the multi-directional part. If this has left you with enough wave, fantastic. If not, use a large 1 ½ inch round curling iron on one-inch by two and a half-inch sections for more curl. Allow hair to cool and then separate curls with Hair Polish. Set with Finishing Spray. |
Nicole Kidman
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Color: | Honey-blonde. |
| Cut: | Mid-back with the front angle starting beyond the chin, and subtle long layers throughout the bottom. |
| Why it works: | The double side part helps create openness and height, while the front pieces tucked behind the ear create a diagonal that adds additional length and enhances her beautiful bone structure. |
| To style: | For fine hair use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.
Do this while hair is soaking wet and make sure to distribute the product evenly throughout. Pre-section the hair, parting it slightly off-center half an inch. Start the second part half an inch behind the hairline using the arch of the eyebrow as a guide, going back and towards the center of the crown to create natural height. While maintaining the direction of your parts, use a large round boar bristle brush to blow-dry the hair completely. Take a 2-inch or larger curling iron through the bottom half of each strand. Smooth each section with David Groshen Hair Polish. |

| Face Shape: | Round. |
| Color: | Dark coffee bean. |
| Cut: | Mid-back with the front angle starting below the chin and long, progressive layers throughout. |
| Why it works: | The side part creates length, and long swooping bangs cascade just across her cheekbone to enhance her eyes and smile. |
| To style: | For fine to medium hair use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For medium to coarse hair, use Orange Stuff.
Create a side part and separate hair into four sections. Dry each section with a large round boar bristle brush.

Finish with David Groshen Hair Polish to keep hair smooth. |

| Face Shape: | Oval. |
| Color: | Light to medium golden-brown with copper highlights. |
| Cut: | Mid-back with the front angle starting beyond her nose and loads of long progressive layers. |

| To style: | For fine to medium hair use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For medium to coarse hair, use Orange Stuff.

Eva Longoria
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Color: | Deep, espresso brown with cappuccino highlights. Larger, bold highlights with very subtle or small differences in lightness have become a standard in extraordinary hair. |
| Cut: | The front angle starts past chin-length, with long angles and a deconstructed front angle. |
| Why it works: | The openness at the forehead and the side part allow for a long, framing wave. A deconstructed front creates a softness that frames her jaw line. |
| To style: | For fine hair use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For coarser hair, use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For very coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.
With a large boar bristle brush, pull the hair as straight as possible allowing it only to turn slightly at the very ends of each section. For coarser, wavier hair, use a large curling iron in equal size sections. This will close the cuticle, seal in shine and create large, bouncy waves. Use David Groshen Hair Polish to add shine and finish this natural look. |
Martina McBride
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Color: | Light mahogany with vibrant red highlights. |
| Cut: | Mid-back with the front angle starting at the chin. The hair is layered using the front angle as a guide. |
| Why it works: | A side part can work with enough lift at the roots to create openness at the forehead and allow extra weight on the heavy side of the part, creating long swooping bangs. For Martina, this enhances her beautiful cheekbones and frames her fabulous eyes. |
| To style: | For fine hair, use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair, use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use Orange Stuff.
Do this while hair is soaking wet and make sure to distribute the product evenly throughout. Section the hair using a multi-dimensional part 1-inch off-center and back at a 45° angle. The part goes back 1-inch and towards the center. Use a medium boar bristle brush on 1-inch by 2-inch sections. Dry each section completely and allow hair to cool while wrapped around the brush. If you happen to have access to 10 brushes, set your hair on them in the same fashion and let them cool as you continue around the head. Unwrap the brushes and separate with David Groshen Hair Polish. |
Gwen Stefani
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart to square. |
| Color: | Light champagne-blonde. |
| Cut: | Collarbone-length bob, long sweeping bangs starting at the nose blended gently with long layers. |
| Why it works: | Only the most beautiful eyes can wear bangs like this with a heart-shaped face. Shortening the face length in most cases should be avoided with this face shape. |
| To style: | For fine hair, use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium hair, use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For coarse hair, use David Groshen Orange Stuff.Do this while hair is soaking wet and make sure to distribute the product evenly throughout. Use a medium boar bristle brush to blow-dry hair. Smooth and direct the bangs into a sweeping fashion. Dry the remainder of the hair. Take 1-inch by 2-inch sections with a 1-inch curling iron and curl each section, allowing the curls to cool without disturbing them. After they have cooled, separate and place the curls with David’s Hair Polish. Secure with a blast of David Groshen Finishing Spray. |
Beyonce Knowles
Posted in: Celebrity Hairstyles
| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Color: | Medium golden-brown with very subtle golden-blonde highlights. |
| Cut: | Her long hair is slightly rounded at the bottom, cut with an angle starting an inch below the nose. The long, progressive layers create movement and release waves. |
| Why it works: | For those blessed with a heart shape, you have the freedom to experiment with hairstyles. The first wave enhances her captivating smile. |
| To style: | The best way to create the height and wave pattern in this style is to set hair on 3 to 4-inch round rollers, making sure to direct the hair at the forehead up and away. This creates the height and sets the direction for the rest of the style. After the hair is dry, you can use a large round boar bristle brush to smooth out the hair and create the exact root direction throughout. Use Hair Polish to smooth and separate the waves and curls. If you don’t have rollers, you can achieve this look with a 3-inch round curling iron, although it is much more difficult to get fullness at the roots. |
Amanda Bynes

| Face Shape: | Heart. |
| Color: | Blonde on blonde. |
| Cut: | Mid-back with front angles starting below the chin and long progressive layers. |

| To style: | For fine to medium hair use David’s “Secret Fried Egg Formula.” For medium to coarse hair, just use Orange Stuff.
After applying products on wet hair, part in the center to slightly off-center. Separate the hair in four sections using large clips to secure. Starting at the back of the head, use a large round boar bristle brush to dry hair, making sure the airflow goes from the roots to the ends. Continue this process one section at a time maintaining the original center part. If hair is still a little fuzzy, use a flat iron on 1-inch sections to smooth and add shine to your hair. Add Hair Polish for the finishing touch. |

| Color: | Light brown with subtle dark blonde highlights help accentuate Jessica’s beautiful eyes. |
| Cut: | The front angle starts below the chin with long layers throughout the bottom. |
| Why it works: | The openness at the forehead created by an off-center part, and the flow of the hair from the part, help to create the first wave that falls gently over her features, exposing her dimples and smile. |

Preset the hair in the center. Use your favorite brush to completely dry hair. Take a medium to large curling iron in 1 ½ by 1 ½ inch sections and curl the bottom 2/3’s of each section. Separate with David Groshen Hair Polish and for fine hair set the style with David Groshen Finishing Spray. |
