Hair secrets of the stars: Kristin Davis
Get glamorous 'uptown' hair with Sex and the City Charlotte's classic style
Charlotte, Kristin Davis's character in Sex and the City, may be the most innocent of the forward foursome, but you could never tell it by looking at her; there's nothing timid about her sleek and sophisticated uptown style. If you have at least shoulder-length hair, you can easily achieve her classy look. Just follow these simple steps from celebrity hair stylist Stephen Knoll, and you'll be turning heads in no time.
STEP 1: Start with clean, wet hair. Rub a 10p-size drop of styling gel between your palms and begin to work through your hair starting at the front hairline and working down through the ends. Massage most of the gel into the crown and temples for a little extra lift.
STEP 2: Flip your head upside down and begin to blow dry until your hair is dry at the base but still damp on the ends. Flip your head back and finish the ends, drying them using a 2-inch round brush and turning the hair slightly under. At the temples, blow hair back and away from the face briefly to create lift and shape.
STEP 3: Starting from the middle area of your front hairline, take a 2-inch section of hair and spray it at the base with a finishing spray. Place the end of this section of hair on a 2-3-inch velcro roller and roll it towards the back of the head. Continue rolling the hair in these 2-inch sections down the middle of the head all the way to the nape of the neck.
STEP 4: To finish the sides, roll the hair in the same manner as above, only this time roll the hair downward so that these pieces will be curled under.
STEP 5: Leave the rollers in for 20 minutes.
STEP 6: Remove the rollers. Using your fingers, shake the hair free. Don't use a comb anywhere except the crown of your head, where you can comb it back slightly for a little lift. Don't overdo it - your hair should look soft but not too set.
