Get Your Hair Oscar Ready! Top Tips From Mark Hill
With only days left until the Oscars, Hollywood’s hottest event of the year, the A list glitterati will be preparing, preening and perfecting themselves within an inch of their life. Ok so we may not be able to join them on this red carpet, but what if we could get share in some of their hair secrets ahead of our next big night out? Yes, let's make sure that we are 'red carpet ready' the next time we have something uber important to attend... Everyone on the red carpet wants to be noticed, and careful planning is needed to ensure you look amazing on the night. Preparation is everything when you have a big event coming up, especially one such as the Oscars. With this in mind Mark Hill, Celebrity Hairdresser, has provided some top ‘insider’ tips for making sure your hair is red carpet ready!
• Make sure your hair is in the best condition possible – make weekly conditioning treatments part of your beauty routine. Hair in good condition is strong, silky soft, has a great natural sheen, making styling much easier.
• Think about what kind of look you want to go for, and what you will be wearing. Your hair should compliment your clothes, not clash. For instance, if your dress is off the shoulder, putting your hair up, or over to one side, can emphasise your neck or special necklace. However, just by pulling a few loose strands down to fall on your shoulders will soften the look completely, adding a very feminine and a softer touch to the style.
• Don’t go for a radical style or colour change on the day of your event. Visit your hairdresser at least a week before, giving you a little time to play with your new look.
• On the big day, remember to put a buttoned or zipped top on before you either visit the salon or start styling yourself. Mark Hill says “many a time I have heard of people taking hours to get the perfect hairstyle, only to find they have a polo neck on and have to cut if off!”
• For the event, pop a couple of hairgrips and a small bottle of gloss spray into your handbag, just in case you need any touch-ups through the night.
