Hairstyles at the Oscars
We’ve already heard about who won what at the Oscars, but most people are more concerned with who wore what and of course what was everyone’s hair like.
The 80th annual ceremony, held in Hollywood was all about glamour as the celebrities opted for splashes of red on outfits, lips and of course the carpet.
One-shoulder dresses where definitely hot property this year and were teamed with glossy curls and ponytails for the ultimate A-List style.
Hair Colour Doctor and Channel 4’s Ten Years Younger hair colour expert, Lisa Shepherd is certainly no stranger when it comes to working with the celebrities or creating A-list looks.
So she’s provided us with her opinion on who won what in the hairstyle stakes this year:
Best Brunette : Marion Cotillard
French actress Marion Cotillard was lucky enough to win the best actress award and she also wins best brunette in my style stakes.
Marion shows off how brown hair should be, rich, smooth and super shiny. Her hair oozes health due to the deep chocolate brown colour she has used on her hair. This shade not only looks gorgeous but also helps to bring out your best features such as Marion’s eyes and milky tone of her skin.
She’s complimented her colour with an array of soft curls, all falling over one shoulder. These are best achieved with a hot curling wand. Try using different size barrels for a more natural look and finish with hair spray.
Best Blonde: Katherine Heigl
At first glance you be forgiven for mistaking Katherine for Marilyn Monroe, with her retro blonde curls and red lips.
She definitely captured the essence of the evening, going for high glamour with this hairstyle. Katherine’s hair is a sumptuous golden blonde, which is a great colour for creating shine. She’s opted for big curls and flicks, best created by using large rollers, which will have added volume and that irresistible old Hollywood glamour style.
To add extra shine to her hair Katherine probably finished off her style with a strong hair spray and a good shine spray.
Best Style: Anne Hathaway
Devil wears Prada actress Anne Hathaway stuck to classic Hollywood style for her dress but opted for an up to the date loose ponytail for her hair.
This style is perfect for Anne as she wore a fussy dress and needed something simple to avoid looking over the top.
Ponytails are set to be big this year and Anne shows of perfectly how they should be done -Loose and casual on top with big curls at the back.
To get the look, firstly put some curls throughout the ends of your hair using a curling wand. Then by using your fingers, softly scrape back your hair into a halfway high ponytail. Don’t worry if you create some bumps and imperfections at the top of your head, it’s supposed to looks casual!
Worst Hair: Tilda Swinton
Did someone forget to tell Tilda that she was attending the Oscars and not doing her daily shop at Tesco?
Loose ponytails are hot for the season but not this rough scrapped back/no effort style.
Her lack of makeup and shapeless dress only highlight the fact that she’s gone to no effort on her hair!
If you’re like Tilda and don’t like spending time on your hair, keep it simple by running the straightening irons through it, finish of with a few drops of serum and your hair will look beautiful and will have taken no time out of your day at all!
