Hair secrets of the stars: Julianne Moore
In her role as FBI agent Clarice Starling in Hannibal, the long awaited sequel to Silence of the Lambs, Julianne manages to look fabulous – even when trapped in a pigpen. If you like her smooth, chic look and have at least shoulder-length hair, follow these helpful hints from stylist Philippe Barr of the Frédéric Fekkai Beauté de Provence Salon in New York.
STEP 1: Wash your hair using a shampoo and conditioner specifically made for colour-treated hair. These products are helpful because they contain deep conditioning agents that weigh down hair, which will help in creating an ultra-straight look.
STEP 2: Using your blow-dryer on a low or cool setting, begin to pre-dry the hair by running your fingers through it from the roots to the ends. This will help remove excess moisture. Stop when your hair is still damp, but no longer wet.
STEP 3: Use a comb to create a middle parting. Blend a combination of straightening product and smoothing cream in the palm of your hand and work it through your hair. This blend will help protect hair from heat, as well as aid in straightening.
STEP 4: Begin blow-drying the front sections of hair first, as these tend to dry more quickly. Start with the lower sections and work from underneath, using a round brush to guide the hair slightly forward and straight down until the ends fall off the brush. Keep this motion as close to the face as you can. Repeat this process until one whole side of the head is completely dry, then repeat on the other side.
