Celebrity Hair Styles
Ali Larter
Face shape: Heart to square.
Color: Blonde on blonde with pale blonde highlights in the front crown area.
Cut: The front angles start below the chin and long progressive layers.
Why it works: The openness at the forehead and an off-center part create a wave that drapes beautifully across Ali’s cheekbones, accentuating her bone structure and smile.
To style: For fine hair use David Groshen Hair Mousse. For medium to coarse hair, use David’s Fried Egg Formula. Preset the style by creating a side part while the hair is wet. Blow-dry the hair with a medium boar bristle brush to create lift at the crown and sides. Set hair on the brush at a 90° angle and cool completely on the brush for each section. Take a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron with one-by-one sections of hair through the temple downward. Make sure the front wave flows into the smaller waves you created through the iron. Finish with David Groshen Hair Polish to separate and smooth the luscious waves. Set the style with David Groshen Finishing Spray, a fine mist for subtle hold.
Emmy Rossum
Face shape: Heart to square.
Color: Dark golden-brown with light golden-brown highlights.
Cut: Mid-back with an angle starting below the collarbone and very subtle long layers.
Why it works: The wave created by using a side part flows across her cheekbones and into the remainder of the waves for an old meets new style.
To style: For fine hair use David Groshen Mousse. For medium hair use David’s 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. Separate the hair with a multi-directional center part, outward and back towards the center. Smooth and comb the hair tightly against your scalp creating a long flowing first wave on the heavy side of the part. Secure the lighter side behind the ear with a hair pin or clip if you have one. If you have the time, allow your hair to dry naturally. If not then secure both sides with a hair pin and blow-dry with the flow of the hair. Be careful not to disturb the part. Use a large curling iron on the unsecured remaining part of the hair. Do not disturb the first wave or the tightness you have created. Use David Groshen Hair Polish to release and smooth the waves.
Ashley Tisdale
Face shape: Oval.
Color: Blonde on blonde with the natural depth on top creating an added dimension to her beautiful long extensions.
Cut: Very long with a progressive angle starting at the chin.
Why it works: Without the fullness, extensions this length would look long and dragging, but the use of the clip on top to create height adds a fun playfulness to the style.
To style: Start by using David’s Fried Egg Formula and dry hair on a vent brush while holding it at a 90°. Allowing the hair to cool while holding it at the 90° angle will create the fullness necessary to achieve this look. Use a large two-inch curling iron in two-by-two sections throughout the hair, making sure to maintain the shape as you go.
Kate Hudson
Face shape: Square to heart.
Color: Blonde on blonde.
Cut: Mid-back with the front angle starting at the chin and long progressive layers.
Why it works: The center part brings an openness through Kate’s somewhat high forehead that creates a unique way to lengthen and narrow a square face. The first wave flows right off the cheekbone enhancing her beautiful bone structure.
To style: For fine to medium hair use David’s Fried Egg Formula. For medium to coarse hair use Orange Stuff. Create a center part and separate hair into four sections. Use a very large round boar bristle brush and pull hair as straight as possible while drying. Pass your largest round iron through the ends of your hair, back and away, to create a slight bend and not a complete wave. Use Hair Polish to smooth the ends and Hair Wax to separate the waves and add more texture.
Drew Barrymore
Face shape: Square to heart.
Color: Medium to light chocolate-brown with copper-blonde highlights.
Cut: Mid-back with a front angle starting at the collarbone and long progressive layers that release natural waves.
Why it works: The off-center part creates openness at the forehead allowing the first wave to drape just above the cheekbones, enhancing her jaw line and eyes.
To style: For wavy hair use Orange Stuff. Then part the hair when it’s wet in the center to create the direction and placement of the first wave. When the hair is very wet use the slightest amount of Finishing Spray to seal in the shape of the waves. Do this without touching hair until it has dried. If you’re not blessed with naturally wavy hair, set the wave pattern as above and blow-dry, then curl with a large two-inch round iron. Separate with Hair Polish and don’t be afraid to really shake your hair free to create natural looking waves.
Carrie Underwood
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Blonde on blonde reflects and absorbs light while separate layers enhance her flattering hair shape.
Cut: Mid-back with long progressive layers and an angle starting just below her chin.
Why it works: The key to a heart shape is to lift and open the center of the forehead to create height. Carrie’s style conjures an illusion of length on her face and flows, which compliments her beautiful, high cheekbones.
To style: To achieve this style use David’s Fried Egg Formula. Create a diagonal part to create natural height and then blow-dry the hair paying attention to the root direction. You can either use hot rollers or a one and a half-inch hot iron to create the beautiful curls and waves. Separate and smooth each section of waves with the smallest amount of Hair Polish.
Jessica Alba
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Medium golden-brown with caramel highlights.
Cut: Mid-back with the front angle starting at chin-length and long progressive layers releasing movement through the bottom of the style.
Why it works: The slightly off-center part creates openness at the forehead allowing the swooping side waves to cascade across her cheekbones, enhancing her beautiful eyes and dimples.
To style: For fine to normal hair, while hair is wet, use David’s Fried Egg Formula. For coarse wavy hair only use David Groshen Orange Stuff. Blow-dry hair creating soft long waves with a medium to large round boar bristle brush, making sure to create the root direction at the part up and away from the forehead. Take a two-inch curling iron in two-inch square sections. Starting at the middle of the hair strand, twist once grabbing the ends until all the hair and ends are wrapped around the curling iron. Separate waves with David Groshen Hair Polish and finish with David Groshen Finishing Spray.
Jennifer Garner
Face shape: Heart to square.
Color: Golden red-brown with soft copper-red highlights.
Cut: Shoulder-length with the front angle starting at the collarbone. Long layers through the very bottom maintain a blunt line.
Why it works: Her natural waves cascade across her cheekbones framing her eyes and highlighting her smile.
To style: This is a great natural style for those blessed with wavy hair. Use David Groshen Orange Stuff on soaking wet hair. Distribute evenly. Section the part off-center back towards the middle of the head. Direct the hair up and away from your forehead until you like the flow of the first wave. Use David Groshen Finishing Spray lightly over your wet hair, and do not touch. Your style is done. Allow to dry completely and enjoy frizz free waves. This is called the Ketty Losetto method of drying hair (named for one of my hairdressers who discovered it).
Kelly Ripa
Face shape: Square.
Color: Champagne-blonde.
Cut: Four to five inches beyond the collarbone with the front angle starting just above the chin. Long progressive layers ensure that fine hair is not over layered.
Why it works: A multidirectional part helps create extra height that works with a heart-shaped face. The long fringe cascades across the jaw line and brings attention to Kelly’s best features.
To style: For fine hair use David Groshen Mousse. For medium hair use David’s 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 the hair. Preset the direction of the part to use as a guide for your sections. Start the part slightly off-center. Move away from the center towards the ear for an inch and a half, and then back towards the center of the crown to create natural height. For the back and bottom of the hair, use a medium round boar bristle brush. Bend hair in the middle and wrap the ends around the brush. Dry each section completely and let the hair cool while still on the brush. On the top and front sections of the hair use a large round boar bristle brush. Blow-dry each section on top up and out from the roots at 90°. Bend hair in the middle and pull brush straight through each section to create straight ends with a soft bend. Separate with David Groshen Hair Polish.
Jessica Biel
Face shape: Heart.
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 through 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.
To style: For fine hair use David Groshen Gel Mousse. For medium to coarse hair use David’s Fried Egg Formula. Preset the hair in the center. Use your favorite brush to completely dry hair. Take a medium to large curling iron in one-and-a-half by one-and-a-half-inch sections and curl the bottom two-thirds of each section. Separate with David Groshen Hair Polish and for fine hair set the style with David Groshen Finishing Spray.
Amanda Bynes
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Blonde on blonde.
Cut: Mid-back with front angles starting below the chin and long progressive layers.
Why it works: The openness at her forehead creates length, and the soft movement created by the layers at the front of the head creates a beautiful flow.
To style: For fine to medium hair use David’s 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 one-inch sections to smooth and add shine to your hair. Add Hair Polish for the finishing touch.
Beyoncé Knowles
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 three- to four-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 three-inch round curling iron, although it is much more difficult to get fullness at the roots.
Jennifer Lopez
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Medium copper-brown with light copper-brown highlights.
Cut: The cut is not so important when you use a fall to create this beautiful style. A fall is a hairpiece that starts in the middle of the crown, similar to a wig but without the front and top.
Why it works: The openness at the forehead and the cascading waves fall in at the cheekbones and complement her skin tone perfectly.
To style: This is one of our simplest recommendations. Comb your hair back and secure into a ponytail. Fix the fall on the top of the hair and secure with two bobby pins. There you go, all set to paint the town.
Gwen Stefani
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 Mousse. For medium hair use David’s 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 one-inch by two-inch sections with a one-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 Groshen Hair Polish. Secure with a blast of David Groshen Finishing Spray.
Martina McBride
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Light mahogany with vibrant red highlights.
Cut: Mid-back with the front angle starting at the chin. Layer the hair using the front angle as your 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 Mousse. For medium hair use David’s 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. Section the hair using a multi-dimensional part one-inch off-center and back at a 45° angle. The part goes back one-inch and towards the center. Use a medium boar bristle brush on one-inch by two-inch sections. Dry each section completely and allow hair to cool while wrapped on 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.
Eva Longoria
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, 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 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.
Ellen Pompeo
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.
Why it works: An oval face shape allows you to utilize just about any hairstyle.
To style: For fine to medium hair use David’s Fried Egg Formula. For medium to coarse hair use Orange Stuff. Separate hair into four sections and create a slightly off-center part. Use a medium-size boar bristle brush throughout each section making sure to create the initial front wave that cascades over the cheekbones. Finish with Hair Polish and Finishing Spray.
Jennifer Hudson
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 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. When finished, take the same sections using a two-inch curling iron to create these beautiful large barrel waves. Make sure to maintain the side part. Finish with Hair Polish to keep hair smooth.
Nicole Kidman
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 Mousse. For medium hair use David’s 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 the hair slightly off-center for 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 two-inch or larger curling iron through the bottom half of each strand. Smooth each section with David Groshen Hair Polish.
America Ferrera
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 Fried Egg Formula. For medium to coarse hair just use Orange Stuff. Start with a multidirectional 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 in 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 one and a half-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.
Jennifer Aniston
Face shape: Heart.
Color: Golden-brown on golden-brown. Golden highlights bring out movement. Her hair is slightly lighter through the front to create length.
Cut: Progressive, long layers that start just below her chin, going to just below her collarbone.
Why it works: The center part allows Jennifer’s hair to fall over the corner of each eye, accentuating her cheekbones and highlighting her eyes.
To style: For fine to medium hair use David’s Fried Egg Formula. For medium to coarse hair use Orange Stuff. Create a center part and separate hair into four sections. Use a medium round boar bristle brush and pull each section as straight as you can while drying. Allow hair to cool while still on the brush. Do this throughout the rest of the hair. Separate with Hair Polish to avoid flyaways, and if necessary, use Finishing Spray on your hand to smooth any flyaways that might escape.
Rebecca Romijn
Face shape: Square.
Color: Blonde on blonde.
Cut: Collarbone-length 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 one and a half-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.
