Logies Red Carpet Hairstyles

Hair Styling From The Logies

Sunday night saw TV’s finest shining on the Logies red carpet. With an army of stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists working behind the scenes, the event showed that once again, Australia is at the forefront of fashion and beauty trends.

Remington took a look at the hairstyles that made the cut – and decided that there were clear directions for dressed-up hair in the coming season.

1. If it’s up, it’s loose and unstructured.
Not too many up-do’s made their way down the carpet. Standouts though were Jennifer Hawkins and Sonia Kruger, both of whom wore their hair loosely piled up with a slightly rougher, textured finish.

Styling tip –

The starting point for an up-do is always volume. Use heated rollers, like Remington’s Body Waves (RRP $53.95) to build some body into the hair prior to styling. Body Waves have a wax core which retain heat – simply put them into dry hair after showering, and leave them until they cool. Meanwhile, you have time to squeeze yourself into your Alex Perry gown and do your make-up prior to styling your hair.

2. If it curls, the curl stays loose

Perfectly modelled by international guest, Jessica Alba, the latest curl is a tumbling wave rather than a corkscrew. Local celebs who did it well include Lisa McCune’s more casual style and by Ada Nicodemou in a more formal do.

Styling tip –

The bigger the barrel, the looser the curl. Make curling easy with a wide-barrelled curling tong like Remington’s Curls Curls Curls (RRP $43.95), which offers three different-sized barrel options, including the huge 50mm tong. With a Ceramic and Teflon surface this tong protects against hair damage, and is easy to use with a swivel cord and high heat, to 180 degrees.

3. If it’s straight, let the ends flick out

TV royalty Kerri-Anne Kennerley and comedienne, Jane Kennedy both showed how straightened hair works best right now with a light flick to the ends. Poker straight hair has its place, but looks so much dressier with this fresh new twist.

Styling tip –

Straighten hair after shampooing with the Remington Wet2Straight Slim Straightener ($103.95). Then you can use the straightener to flick the ends out, or if you find that technique too hard to manage, try a small tong, like Remington’s Curl It (RRP $22.95)
