    GET THE LOOK for your holiday parties: Julia Louis-Dreyfus by David Gardner for ColorProof

    Last month at the 73rd Annual Golden Globes- award nominee Julia Louis-Dreyfus dazzled the red carpet with her gorgeous “Model Off Duty” inspired hair by celebrity stylist David Gardner and ColorProof—the only professional, luxury hair care line designed exclusively for color treated hair. See below for David’s inspiration, step by step tips and information on the products used to create Julia’s Golden Globe look.

    The Look: “Model Off Duty”

    The Inspiration: “How a model looks in the street, effortless and gorgeous, usually as they were shooting the day before, we love day after hair.”- David Gardner

    The Step By Step: Julia Louis Dreyfus

     ONE: Start off with a clean canvas by using a shampoo specific to your hair type. For Julia, I used the ColorProof Crazy Smooth Anti-Frizz Shampoo. Apply to the root area, massage gently and then let the water simply rinse it away with minimal rubbing. Those with an oily scalp should skip the massage altogether as it can stimulate the oil glands and weigh down your look. Julia, like most women, has different types of waves- some curlier, some straighter. This product will even out the texture beautifully and calm any fly-a-ways in advance.

    TWO: Next, I added a little ColorProof Crazy Smooth Anti-Frizz Conditioner to the mid lengths and ends. If you have a full head of bleach, by all means condition all over.  Julia has very healthy hair, only one process, so only using conditioner where it’s necessary will help maintain the volume we want to achieve.

    THREE: Next, towel dry gently and apply an egg sized amount of the ColorProof LifIt Color Protect Foam Mousse. Use a wide tooth comb to apply evenly throughout, and add more where you want the most volume. I gave Julia a little extra on top, not so much on the sides.

    FOUR: Styling soaking wet hair is not only damaging, but a total waste of time. You should gently blow the hair on low until it’s damp and cold. Styling should only happen when your hair is taken from damp, to bone dry.

    FIVE: Once the hair is almost dry, lay out a medium round brush, a few Velcro rollers, ColorProof TextureCharge Color Protect Texture + Finishing Spray and blow dryer on a non-slip towel. Take the whole front section of the hair (about 2 inches from the front) straight back, and lightly brush through with the round brush. Spray the TextureCharge spray all the way from root to ends and then wrap that section around the brush, getting good tension at the roots up and away from the scalp. Hold tight and pick up the dryer and slowly blow the rolled section on low warm heat. When it gets hot, put the dryer down and brush out. You may need to roll and unroll a few times, but remember, this will stay all night long. It’s worth it and you’ll get quicker and quicker.

    SIX: Once the hair is dry and hot, go back through the hair by taking 1 inch sections with a 1 inch curling iron. For Julia’s corkscrew look, leave the end of the hair out for a youthful looking bend to the shaft.  During this part you should also leave in two Velcro rollers on top to really set the volume.

    SEVEN: The final step is to set your hair with a mist of ColorProof HumidityRx Anti-Frizz Weatherproof Spray (as we all know, LA humidity can wreak havoc on the hair!). Once the hair has cooled, take out the rollers and use the comb to loosen as desired. Natural touch ability + hold is the goal for this look. This David Gardner setting method will have you bouncing all night.
