Hair How To: Selena Gomez

This past Sunday I had the chance to get Selena Gomez all glammed up for the Mtv VMA's! Selena Looked stunning wearing an intricate black Julian McDonald gown. I wanted to go for a sophisticated updo. But, also wanted it to feel a little Rock n' Roll. So I chose to create a knotted up style. This look was pretty easy to do and can be achieved at home, using only a couple of products and a few essential hair styling tools.

Here's how to get the look-

1) I started with dampened hair and prepped the hair using Alterna's Bamboo Whipped Mousse. I applied a small amount of the mousse in the palm of my hand and applied the mousse throughout the head. This mousse is great because it really helps the hair lock in that volume.

2) Next the hair was dried with a round brush. I wanted to achieve a bit of extra volume on the top of the style. As I dried the hair I secured a couple of large rolled sections of hair on the top and sides, framing the face. And allowed them to cool as I finished blowing dry.

3) Then I began to built the knotted look. I braided small sections throughout the head and secured them to the center back of the head. The braids were slightly pulled apart and then held in place using bobby pins and hair pins.

4) I finished the look by pulling the remaining hair back from the face and pinning into the rest of the style. Spraying Tresemme's 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray to finish off the style. This spray is great because it leaves the hair feeling soft. The spray is super lightweight and also gives the style extra shine too.
