Designer and “Fashion Star” mentor Nicole Richie is rocking the red carpet tonight, with a little help from the NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion products that add shine as well as salon brands.

Here’s how Suave Professionals® Stylist, Jenny Cho, created Nicole’s red carpet look:

  • Wash hair with New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, and then blow dry hair using a large paddle brush.
  • Part hair on the side and begin curling with a one-inch barrel curling iron. Be sure to hold the curling barrel horizontal to the head.
  • After curling each section, use bobby pins to hold in place.
  • Blast hair all over with a hot dryer for 1-2 minutes to help set the curls.
  • Remove the bobby pins, lightly brush the hair to soften curls and finish with Suave Professionals® Touchable Finish Super Hold Hairspray.
  • Place 1-2 drops of the New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in palms and rub hands together. Avoiding the roots, gently run hands over the surface of the hair to add a radiant shine.
  • Place the Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in your clutch for touchups on the go.

Nicole also has a few tips that she can always count on to help shine on the carpet – or just a night on the town!

  • Identify your top feature and play it up – know your body and what silhouettes work for you.
  • With both makeup and accessories – focus on one bold item. For example, when doing a deep lip, leave eyes bare, or if wearing a statement necklace, keep the earrings simple.
  • Whether she’s doing an up ‘do or down and sleek for her hairstyle, she always goes for shine on the carpet. Her go-to product is the NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil for brilliant, lightweight conditioning.

Marc Anthony 2nd Day Clear Dry Shampoo (Review)

I’m a huge proponent of shampooing hair every other day, so I’m always eager to experiment when I come across a brand with a dry shampoo. I’ve tried what seems like an endless of dry shampoos from drugstore to salon brands – and I’ve found great options, and some that just aren’t for me. (You can see some of my past dry shampoo reviews here, here and here.)

Marc Anthony 2nd Day Clear Dry Shampoo is the newest addition to my temple of groom. The 2nd Day Clear Dry Shampoo was,

developed with Nanotechnology and Zeolite, a micro-porous mineral, to cleanse hair without a chalky residue or gritty texture. Its invisible, extra absorbent formula lets you remove excess oil, eliminate odor and add volume. It is perfect for all hair types, styles and colors to get beautifully fresh hair between washes. You no longer have to worry about greasy, flat hair between washes.

Lovin’ Her Locks – Julianne Hough

My husband and I sometimes joke that it seems like God must have accidentally dropped too much of the ‘good stuff’ into certain people. There’s Jamie Fox and Justin Timberlake, both with wildly successful endeavors in singing, acting and dancing, and handsome to boot. And of course, also quite talented in all three arenas, is the lovely Julianne Hough.

We’ve seen her hair in full-on prom queen regalia for Dancing With the Stars, swept into romantic up-dos on the red carpet, and in soft beachy waves for her everyday look. She always looks perfect – but I’m curious, which is your favorite look when it comes to hair for Julianne?
