Golden Globes 2013: How to achieve Lucy Liu hairstyle

All about hairstyle > Golden Globes 2013: How to achieve Lucy Liu hairstyle
Modern feminity created by celebrity stylist Andy Lecompte
For Wella Professionals

While other actresses followed the Old Hollywood glamour trend and wore their hair in smooth waves (either long and to the side or pinned-up into a faux bob), the Elementary star wore her hair in a long, striking braid.

Lucy demonstrated “perfect imperfection” because there is a slight messiness to balance her feminine Marie Antoinette inspired dress. Andy says that for braids, it's best to do it on 1-2 day old hair because it's easier to grip and create texture vs. clean hair.

Here’s how Andy created ’s look:

1. First, dry hair was prepped with small amount of Velvet Amplifier Style Primer

2. Then, Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Hairspray was applied to create texture at the root and length of hair

3. A deep side part was created, and the hair was french braided down each side of the head and the two braids merged at the bottom, slightly to the side so the braid hangs over the shoulder.

4. Placing one braid over the other, the ends of the hair were then flipped through the hole of the two braids

5. Then, merge the two braids into one fishtail at the bottom, and use Rugged Fix on the ends for a rugged texture.

6. Finish the look with Stay Essential for a lasting, flexible hold
