Angelina Jolie & Nicole Kidman’s 2009 Oscar Hair Secrets Revealed!!!

Do you remember how I described my reaction when I saw how stunningly beautiful Angelina Jolie was at the 2009 Oscar ceremony?

Just in case you missed it … here it is again:

“When Brad and Angie got out of their limo while I was tweetering, I held my breath because they looked so good together!”

May I say for the record that Angelina’s jewellery on Oscar night was so dazzling, so beautiful, so incredible that I thought I was going to cry … I wanted them so badly … but alas, my bling budget is not same as hers.

When I found out that I’d be able to get some behind the scene hair style secrets for both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman, I knew my readers were in for a major treat!

David Babaii was the magician behind Angelina’s and Nicole’s perfectly coiffed hair:

David Babaii (who, along with Kate Hudson, has his own line of environmentally-friendly and cruelty-free products called David Babaii for WildAid) worked with both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman at the 2009 Academy Awards on Sunday to achieve their jaw-dropping-red-carpet-looks.

I should make it clear that these tips come DIRECTLY from celebrity stylist David Babaii! Ladies, this kind of information is priceless!!!

Before we get started here’s an important insider’s tip: To achieve any Oscar Look it’s all about 4 main signature stages: drying, sectioning, curling and styling.

>>>> Here is the step-by-step to achieving Angelina Jolie’s look:

1) To achieve this romantic cascade of curls, I sprayed her entire head with David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray and scrunched it into the hair.  This gives just the right texture and hold.

2) Next, I dried her hair by dividing her tresses into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Taking small sections starting at the nape, use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment and finish the drying process with a large round brush to smooth hair straight.

4) At the crown area, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier to the root area and down the hair shaft. Then, I dried this section with a jumbo round brush to add lift and volume.

5) Once dry, I sectioned the hair again using the same sectioning process as I did for blow drying. Using the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron, I once again sectioned the hair into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

6) To curl, use the Styling Iron to create “ribbon curls” by taking small “V” shaped sections.

7) To achieve, wrap the hair around and inside the styling iron close to the scalp area and pull the iron down (similar to curling ribbon).

#8) After curling the entire head, I smoothed some of the curls with a brush while leaving some intact. At the crown area, I back-brushed the hair at the scalp area only, sprayed some additional Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier and gently smoothed the surface not to remove too much of the back-brushing.

9) Next, to create her half-up, half down look, I brushed the sides up and back and secured with pins. To complete the back, I ran my fingers up several curls to create volume and variations in texture.

10) For a long but natural lasting hold, I used David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Why so much sectioning? It is vital to have constant control of your hair at all times. You will never miss an area or a section.

This Oscar Look is all about glamorizing the bob!!!

1) After thoroughly towel drying, I applied David Babaii for WildAid Amplifying Whipped Mousse for volume and hold.

2) I dried the hair by dividing it into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Creating small sections, start at the nape and use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment.

4) Dry each section with a medium round brush to smooth and create a soft round bend to the ends. Once again, section the hair into 3 sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

5) To create waves, form “V” shaped pieces and use the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron.

6) Run the styling iron down the hair shaft from close to the roots to the ends to create a sleek, smooth look.

7) Repeat, now half way down the hair shaft utilize the beveled edge by turning the styling iron (like a curling iron) to create a soft curl.

#8) Clip each curl and spray with David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

9) Alternate the direction of each row of curls in order to achieve a finger wave effect.

10) When finished, gently brush and form into soft waves using my David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.

11) To finish, I brushed back one side and secured with a decorative hair pin.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Use “V” shaped sections helps to eliminate the appearance of partings.
