Have you ever wondered why the hair of the top stars on the red carpet looks so flawless? Of course, they have the best and most experienced stylists, but we can also use some of their secrets.

Double dry for extra volume

Hairdresser Andrew Barton, who has worked with supermodel Jerry Hall and actresses like Juliet Lewis, told Hello! the secret of the amazing volume of the hairstyle: “We blow dry our hair with mousse, then wet it, apply more mousse and dry it again. This technique gives a steady stunning volume."

Braid a small lock on your forehead to tighten the skin on your forehead, giving your eyes a more open look.

Eyelid lift

Another Hollywood secret that Barton shares is helping celebrities look younger at social events. The whole trick comes with a tiny pigtail. Braid a small lock on your forehead to tighten the skin on your forehead, giving your eyes a more open look. Then pin the tiny pigtail with an invisible one and cover it with hair.

Argan oil for temperature protection

Professional makeup artist Bobby Brown has a hair care secret: argan oil. “Just apply it to damp hair before drying it,” Brown explains in an interview with Health.com. Don't worry about making your hair look greasy, this oil will give it the shine we often see on the red carpet.

Long lasting color

Brown also advises avoiding chemicals to preserve hair color. Instead, she uses natural ingredients for a subtle coloring effect. Use 2 cups of strong black coffee if you have black hair (rinse after 10 minutes), 3 cups of chilled chamomile tea for blonde hair (rinse off after 15 minutes) and rosehip tincture for redheads (1 cup of tincture for 2 cups of boiling water, then cool and apply to hair).

Bouffant for extra volume

London stylist Phil Smith has worked with stars such as Mischa Barton. He explains how to do the bouffant correctly. “If you want to add more volume to your hair by combing, be sure to leave the hair on the surface smooth. You can comb your hair underneath and then gently cover it with the remaining strands,”Smith told Glamor magazine.

Gorgeous split curls

Celebrity hairdresser David Dabai has shared with Australian Vogue one of the most helpful secrets to getting the perfect hairstyle. “Use hot tongs to select the curls you want to highlight. You don't need to curl all your hair. I did this with Sarah (Jessica Parker) and Olivia (Wilde) and their curls stood out wonderfully,”he explained.

Fast color correction

Emmy Makarnik, Senior Colorist at Oscar Blondi in New York, offers a wonderful solution for home color correction using rubbing alcohol and mineral oil. “Mix 3 to 1 alcohol and mineral oil and massage the mixture into your hair. Then cover your head with foil and keep it warm for 10 minutes, it will remove any color,”she said in an interview with Women’s Health.

Perfect tail

Even an ordinary ponytail can look like a red carpet hairstyle, if you take advice from Marcus Francis, who has worked with Christine Cavallari and other stars: "The ideal place for the base of the tail is on a line that can be drawn across the cheekbones to the top of the head."

Twisted roots for extra volume

British hairdresser Michael Barnes, who has a hand in Keira Knightley's finest hairstyles, knows how to add volume without makeup. “If you have good hair and want to give it extra volume, try curling the roots a little. At the same time, the top layer of hair should remain intact, then the hairstyle will become voluminous, and the curled roots will not be visible,”he told Glamor magazine.
