belle — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 07:50:09 +0000

Naomi Watts showed off a shiny, shorter, and fresher ‘do at the L.A. premiere of Salt. Hair stylist Robert Vetica was inspired by the lines of the metallic Gucci dress and created a look that referenced 60′s British pop and a Studio 54 vibe refined by a soft, natural mood. Here’s how Naomi got the look:

1. Vetica cut off 2 inches to create a blunt cut that hit the collarbone

2. Create layered, side-swept bangs. Cut the bangs long and blunt, then razored and texturize to about the bridge of the nose so that they look lighter around the face

3. Apply Moroccanoil Treatment Light to damp hair

4. Blow dry and shape

5. Spray Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray for an added boost of shine

6. Finish with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to keep flyaways at bay. Do a couple of quick mists about 6 inches away, then comb through hair right away to loosen the look while keeping its hold
