Sarah Howard: What are the main red carpet hair trends this season?  Harry Josh:-Keeping it natural. Many women with medium to longer hair are wearing it down and straight.

Try these at-home – 5 of the best Holiday hair styles directly from the mouth of celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin:

“S-Waved Hair – Inspiration: Erin Wasson. HOW-TO: Best to use a Ryan Tools Waver Iron but can also be done with a 3/4 ” curling iron. I start by prepping hair with Charlotte Ronson Beach Spray for texture. Take 1″ sections and curl, use fingers to break up the curls, not a brush. This look is best topped off with a hair accessory. My favorites are JenniferBehr.com.

Slick High Ponytail – Inspiration: Jessica Alba (I did this style on Jessica). …

It allows me to curate a collection of virtual corkboards, pinning up what inspires me from sites I love and getting ideas from others via their boards – things to make, to buy, to read.

Beautiful Hair While You Sleep

Second day hair always looks better. Period.

Washing my hair is such an inconvenience – don’t you agree? The drying time alone – styled or au naturel – is enough to drive you mad. I much prefer to spray in some dry shampoo and be done with it. Even a trip to the salon – two foreign hands doing the blowout – is boring and proves too much time and effort to me.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I’m a huge fan of just washing the bangs. This is really the only part of my hair that ever gets super greasy. And …
