GET THE LOOK: Nicole Kidman at the Critic’s Choice Awards
Hairstylist: Kylee Heath
Inspiration: “The dress, we wanted to keep the hair classic, but also modern and sleek”
Style: Middle part low twisted knot with the hair fanned out to the side
“I started off by applying MOP Lemongrass Lift ($22) to Nicole’s roots and Pear Detangler ($22) to the ends. Then I combed the product evenly through the hair
Next, I blow-dried the hair using the Ultra Smooth™ Professional Hair Dryer ($96.95) and Technique™ Silk Thermal 370 1.75″ ($15.99) round brush to really smooth out the hair
At the crown, I blow-dried the hair in an upward motion to give it more lift
Once the hair was dry I smoothed out the hair from midshaft to end with the Ultra Smooth™ Professional Styling Iron($89.95)
I warmed MOP molding cream ($22) in my hands and used it to smooth out ends, tame flyaways and to lay down the cuticle
Then, I pulled all of Nicole’s hair back low at the nape of her neck, twisted the hair around my hand and secured it using small bobby pins leaving the ends of the hair out so that they fanned out toward the side
Next I sprayed the C-system Firm Finish Hairspray($24) for hold and added shine
Last, we decided to pull two small pieces of hair from the front for added softness”
