HAIR

 

We've been tracking this hair trend closely for weeks, and it shows no sign of stopping. Hollywood's updos just keep getting bigger, higher and more bulbous. Here are two new examples from this week's red carpets.

 

Kate Beckinsale stepped out in Cannes with a hair sculpture that, in its size and drama, rivals the Jennifer Lopez concoction that some might say launched this whole huge-bun trend.

 

And yes, that baby got back.

HAIR

 

1) "No hairspray until you have the right shape." 2) "The more Elizabeth Taylor-looking it is, the better!"

 

These great declarations were made by Redken's creative consultant Guido--a man so revered in beauty and fashion circles that he (like Madge) needs no last name. He's responsible for masterminding a slew of jaw-droppingly beautiful 'dos including those wispy Alberta Ferretti buns, Marc Jacobs' kicky ponies and the sculptural chignon that I snapped at the Nina Ricci show:

 

Instead of taking you through the how-to on these big--but not bulky--buns I'll just list off few of the multi-purpose tricks they used because after all, how often do you have the need for a massive chignon? (If your answer to that question is ALL THE TIME, jump straight to the end and starting writing in all your updo tips now because you've probably got dozens of 'em already!)

 

Hair Tip #1: To make the bun a little more fluffy, stylists teased the length of the hair when the 'do was still in the ponytail stage. You'd be amazed at how a little backcombing can amp up the volume on a basic bun.

 

Hair Tip #2: Following Guido's guidelines, stylists didn't spritz the bun with hairspray until they had gotten the exact right shape and had already pinned it into place. There was no spritzing-here-and-there along the way, which makes sense since it's hard to un-do the form that a serious holding spray--like the Redken 23 Forceful Finishing Spray that they used--creates.

Hair Tip #3: They did however use a flexible hairspray while creating the updo's ponytail. After securing hair into a mid-level ponytail, stylists alternated between using a bristle brush and a spritz of hairspray to create a super smooth, super sleek finish. As someone who struggles (slash get inexplicably and insanely frustrated) with all the lumps and bumps that mysteriously pop up when I go to slick my hair back into a ponytail or bun, this is a simple trick that I'm definitely filing away. If you think you will too, here's a sampling of the products they used to create the look:
