I secretly gush inside every time I see curls on the red carpet. Why? It gives me hope for styling my own natural locks! Image: Zuma Press On Saturday, at the SAG Awards in Hollywood, Joan Allen was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries, for her role in Georgia O’Keefe. Fitting the occasion, she had to totally shine on the red carpet, and her hair was done for the event by Sebastian Stylist Design Team member Thomas Dunkin, in soft, cascading waves. To recreate this look at home, Thomas says to: 1. To begin, apply Sebastian Professional Taming Elixir to slightly damp hair 2. Blow-dry hair straight to give the hair a smooth, even base to work on and part slightly to the left of center 3. Once dry, use a ¾-inch curling iron to wave the hair by starting at the nape and taking 2-inch sections of hair and leaving them loose to drop slightly 4. Apply step 3 to whole head except for a 2-inch section around the front to the top of the ear 5. Use a ½-inch curling iron on this remaining section and pin curls back using very small blonde matte bobby pins, continuing into the front for a slightly smaller wave 6.
