OSCAR HAIR. C’MON, you know you want some. How many people do you think contribute to pre-Oscar lifting and spraying, mussing and fussing, and, more to the point, how do we get us some of that slavish attention? I can picture me now after just a bit of it: scrubbing out the slow cooker while looking ever so much more like Julianne Moore; appearing in front of my front-load clothes dryer with just a smidgen of Streep-like casual-ness to my coif. Are you in, sisters?
Cyber hair consults. Oh yeah. Not a new idea, since some sites have been around forever: You pay a fee, and on your cyber head is popped some celebrity do. I’m not having any of that nonsense. What I want is for someone I like and trust to have a longer look than what I get at the salon. Whenever I get under that drape and into that swivel chair, I seem to lose the words to describe what I want, and end up with the same-old/same-old. Maybe like me, you too need a cyber hair sister.
For instance: Meet Kristy, of My Stylist, Kristy. Located in Hopkins, Minnesota, while she’s too far away for me to get to, I love her version of simply sending her a photo and getting online and talking about how to do the do you saw done at the Oscars–or in a magazine, or online, or any old place you saw it. She and I got to talking. She likes the way I see red, and I like the way she helps out a sister. She sent me the up-do pictured above. From a recent wedding party, it’s merely one of her ideas for what to do with a do. I think it’s only sisterly of me to share this idea with you.
Of course, if you’d like to try on Oscar hair at home, you can. There are myriad online videos of the how-to-do variety, one of my favorites being this stylist, who seems to know just how to do whatever you want. Make some popcorn, get your Oscar hair on, sisters, and let’s do it.
