Nina has medium thickness and a natural wavy pattern to start.

To achieve this look:

1. Shampoo and condition hair with White Sands Vegan
Volumizing Shampoo and Volumizing Conditioner for a clean canvas.

2. Blow dry hair with a large round brush, spraying sections with White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Hold for its thermal protection and color enhancers. This technique creates volume and shine with just a round brush in hand.

3. Using White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Hold, flat iron hair in sections starting at the crown and lift straight up. Turn iron slightly at the middle of each hair strand to the ends for a slight bend and beautiful wave. Iron all hair sections in the same direction and let hair cool.

4. Brush and finger comb in place and spray with White Sands Infinity Finishing Spray.


Actress Candice Accola as “Caroline”

2. Blow dry hair with a medium round brush for fullness.

3. Spray entire head with White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Hold.

Section off 1-inch partings starting at the nape area. Take these 1-inch sections and using a 1-inch barrel curling iron, curl hair from ends to scalp (like a roller). Remove iron and clip into place until entire head is set. Wait until cooled.

Scarlett Johannson's Latest Hair How-To

Celebrity hairdresser David Babaii traveled across the ocean to Tokyo, Japan to create this Red Carpet look for actress Scarlett Johannson at the Moet & Chandon "Tribute to Cinema" on October 20, 2009.

To create this "power look" and accentuate her fire red dress, David Babaii took Scarlett Johansson's long strawberry blonde hair and transformed her tresses into a dramatic side swept, short textured bob. After rough drying her locks with Hair Polish applied to damp hair, David loosely twirled large sections of hair and sprayed them with Bohemian Beach Spray, while finishing the drying process.

When hair was completely dried, he used his fingers as a comb to gently loosen the twirled sections. He continued using his fingers to sweep hair to one side as not to disturb the texture he achieved, cupping her long locks under giving the illusion of shorter hair. He secured the style with bobby pins and sprayed his Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.
