Cannes Film Festival 2013

Every year, the fashion stakes get higher at the annual Cannes Film Festival in the south of France. After all, it’s where some of the world’s biggest movie stars and tastemakers flock to attend movie screenings and soirees, all the while dressed in incredibly glamorous ensembles and amazing hair to boot!

 Alessandra Ambrosio kept things sleek and simple with a center part and straight locks to compliment her dress.

 We love Olivia Palermo's loosely pulled back updo.

You know we are suckers for over the shoulder, retro waves like Cara Delevingne's!

Whether you like it or not, ombre hair is still alive and well! Sara Forestier's is subtle and perfect for summer.

 We swoon over Naomi Watts short, retro waves!

The retro theme continues with Marion Cotillard's voluminous, french twist.

And nothing says summer like Isla Fisher's relaxed, beachy waves!

Fresh from the Beach

Sadly we live far from the ocean, but that doesn't mean you can't create the perfect beach waves in your very own bathroom! All you need is a curling iron and some Bb. Surf Spray to create these easy, laid-back waves.

1. On dry hair spray Does it All hairspray from roots to ends for heat protection.
2. Gather a 1 to 2-inch section of hair. Near the base, make a half turn with your iron and let sit for a few seconds before slowly releasing the curl.
3. With the same section of hair, make another half turn with your iron facing the opposite direction. Hold for a few seconds and gently release.
4. Spritz Bb. Surf Spray throughout hair to break up the curls and give the hair more texture.
The resulting look is a cross between a finger wave and a curling iron set but requires half the effort! Pin It

The Amazing Emma Stone

We couldn't be more excited for the new Spiderman movie to come out, especially since we are such big Emma Stone fans. Seeing her and beau Andrew Garfield on the red carpet makes our hearts melt, and her hair has been equally amazing. Her hair is at that length that everyone calls the "awkward phase" but she proves you can still look glam at any length.
