Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope

“For Amy Poehler, I start with deep conditioned hair. I put a lot of stress and heat on the hair daily so deep conditioning is essential,” says Owen. “Then, I prep with a styling spray. I use White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray Soft Hold when I need the waves and curls to stand up to long shooting days on set. I use a large barrel Marcel curling iron to make soft waves, just by wrapping the hair around each section and spraying with more White Sands Liquid Texture. I finish with a very light, light mist of finishing spray so her waves have movement.”

Rashida Jones as Ann Perkins

“For Rashida Jones, I prep with a heat protectant, which is a must for color treated hair. Then, I set her hair on a 1¾-inch ceramic curling iron. Before I set each section, I spray (on dry hair) some White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray Soft Hold.  Then I style with finishing cream by Rahua,” says Owen.

Rob Lowe as Chris Traeger

“Rob has a short, choppy, naughty schoolboy cut that I blow out just with my fingers,” explains Owen. “I prep the hair with White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray Firm Hold. It’s great for baby fine and straight hair since it gives texture and hold that stands up to hot lighting conditions on set. I then put on a texturizing cream for a messy look. I use Sally Hershberger Wreck & Roll Texturizing Cream.”

1. Dry hair with Oribe Royal Blowout.
2. Apply Dry at the roots for lift, then loosely pull hair back into a ponytail and secure.
3. Spray Soft Lacquer onto sections of the ponytail and curl with a large-barrel iron. Brush out. “Having some wave softens the ponytail,” says Oribe. “The Soft Lacquer provides hold and shine—I always use it when I’m working with a curling iron.”
4. Finish with Shine to add a little red carpet luster.

Munn was on the opposite coast to attend the BAFTA Los Angeles 2012 Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills. Celebrity Stylist Kristen Shaw did Munn’s hair and stated that a low Spanish bun was her inspiration for the style. Below, Shaw explains how to recreate Munn’s chic updo:

1. Work Supershine into the ends of the hair and spray Maximista into the roots to create soft, full texture when blown dry.
2. Wrap sections of hair from mid-shafts to ends around a 1-inch curling iron, going away from the face. Brush through the curls.
3. Rake Crème for Style through the hair and loosely pin 1-inch sections of hair in the shape of a bun so they fall in a soft, textured way.
4. Finish with Superfine to hold hair in place throughout the evening.

1. I wanted to start off by sealing her cuticle and adding lightweight shine, so I used Hair Sheet Styling and Tame It Shine Lotion on the ends.
2. Then, I blew her hair dry using a large round brush to impart fullness.
3. I then took pieces and twisted them to the entire head and added a silver barrette.
4. I followed up with Beautiful Hold Hairspray–a staple product that works on straight, waved or curly hair. The final effect? An ethereal half-up half-down ‘do that gave Ashley’s hair a royal look.

Nikki Reed was in Los Angeles to attend the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)—the fifth and possibly final installment of the series. Wella Professionals’ Mara Roszak, who has styled Reed’s hair for each premiere, gave the actress a low, structured bun to complement the actress’ natural beauty and gray Versace gown. Below, Roszak shares her secrets for getting her clean and elegant look:

1.    Start by applying a couple pumps of Wella Professionals Flowing Form to damp hair and brush through.
2. Part hair using a rat tail comb, and blow out with a boar bristle round brush.
3. To tame any flyaways, apply a dime sized amount of Wella Professionals Smooth Brilliance by rubbing into the palms of your hands and through hair, starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots.
4. Pull hair tight to the nape of neck and secure it with a bungee elastic band.
5. Holding the pony, loop hair under the elastic to create a small bun and secure with bobby pins.
6. Take the rest of hair and wrap it around the elastic.
7. To finish the look, lightly spray Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight to add extra shine and then mist all over with Wella Stay Essential Finishing Spray.
