Let Her Shine with these Golden Globe How To's

Amy Adams, winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a motion picture, comedy or musical (Best Actress, Drama) selected a classic French braid updo to pair with her red, glam Valentino gown.

The outcome: truly radiant!

Adams certainly proved that less really can be more.

While this look may appear difficult to achieve, Angelo David Pisacreta of New York City's Angelo David Salon demos how to achieve this sexy style in just a few easy steps:


Get Glam! Here's How!

Amy Adams

• Start with freshly-washed hair. Remember: Always brush through locks before entering the shower and shampoo twice! Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Couture Large Paddle Brush.
• Apply a medium-hold foam forming mousse for contrast, body and lift. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Foaming Sea Silk Styler.
• Brush hair back towards the right shoulder and part the hair in the middle.
• Holding the hair tightly against the crown of the head, begin to French braid the sections until both braids form tails.
• Wrap one section into a bun and pin the remaining section around the already created bun and pin.
• Apply a layer of light holding hairspray. From bottom-to-top, insert five or six bobby pins into the twist horizontally. Fold the top's loose ends into the twist and secure with a pin. Set with hair spray and shine spray.

Jennifer Lawrence

Who says short hair can't be glam? Angelo David demos the art of styling a chic pixie for a star-studded night-out. The glamour girl? Jennifer Lawrence:

• Start with freshly-washed hair.
• Apply Angelo David's Vol spray or the Foaming Sea Silk Styler depending on the texture of the hair.
• Using the Angelo David Small Couture Paddle Brush to blow dry, point the nozzle downward onto hair, working from the back to the top of the head. Make sure to pull the hair super taut as you dry. As you pull the brush through hair, follow the brush with the dryer. Continue through all sections until hair is dry.
• Using a comb, create a deep side-part on the left, from the point in which your eyebrow naturally arches. Brush hair forward, so that a few wisps sweep across forehead. Apply a small amount of styling wax or pomade with your fingers for texture and hold.

Cate Blanchett

Retro waves and a deep side-part contribute to an elegant, timeless look. Cate Blanchett's chic bob was ideal for this stunning leading lady's classic look.

• After shampooing, apply a leave-in conditioner to make sure tresses are smooth and frizz-free. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Long & Strong Leave-In Conditioner.
• Use a dryer to remove excess moisture before blow drying or let the hair air-dry for a few minutes. Apply volumizing spray for contrast, body and lift. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David's Vol spray.
• Next, blow dry the hair, with a severe part on either side. Divide combed hair into sections and secure with clips. Leave out a section to start with. Pull through a round-barreled brush as you blow dry, pointing the nozzle downward onto hair. Make sure to pull hair super taut as you dry. As you pull the brush through hair, follow the brush with the dryer. Continue through all sections until hair is dry. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David large Round Brush.
• Follow the blow drying by sectioning the hair and curling it underneath, to create a more defined bob look.
• Pin the hair underneath, flat against the head to hold the perfect retro-curled bob.
• Add another light layer of holding spray and you're ready to go!

Amber Heard

As one of the fave beauties glamming up the Red Carpet, Amber Heard flaunted couture glamour.

• After shampooing, apply a leave-in to make sure tresses are smooth and frizz-free. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Vol Shampoo and Conditioner.
• Gently pat hair with a towel to remove extra moisture before blow drying. Apply a medium hold foam forming mousse for contrast, body and lift. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Foaming Sea Silk Styler.
• Next, blow dry your hair straight, with a middle-part down the front. Divide combed hair into sections and secure with clips. Leave out a section to start with. Pull through a round-barreled brush as you blow dry, pointing the nozzle downward onto hair. Make sure to pull hair super taut as you dry. As you pull the brush through hair, follow the brush with the dryer. Continue through all sections until hair is dry. Tool Suggestion: Angelo David Large Round Brush.
• One dry, tease the hair at the crown, focusing on the section near the top of the forehead and pin back to create a poof. Lightly go over the section with hairspray in order to keep hair in place while not holding it down and taking away from the "lightness" of the style.
• With the remaining hair, brush hair back towards the right shoulder, holding it tightly against the nape of the neck. Insert a bobby pin at an angle from the center of the nape toward the right ear. Repeat with four or five additional pins (positioned at a similar angle), from the center of the head to ear level.
• Twist the free section of hair upward and toward the left shoulder. The twist should be against the back of the head, as the ends stick up from the top. Of course, make sure that the roll covers the bobby pins.
• Apply a layer of light holding hairspray. From bottom-to-top, insert five or six bobby pins into the twist horizontally. Fold the top's loose ends into the twist and secure with a pin. Set with hair spray and shine spray.
