Anne Hathaway’s hair usually looks gorgeous — shiny and healthy. But we were particularly taken with her loose curls at the N.Y.C. premiere of her new movie Becoming Jane, so we turned to her hairstylist Ted Gibson for the inside scoop. Ted tells us that he “used Build It blow drying agent ($28 at beauty.com) at the root and scalp and Fix It gel ($28 at beauty.com) all over the head on wet hair.” After blowdrying her hair with the Ted Gibson Professional Hairdryer ($275 at beauty.com), he “pinned each section until they all cooled, which added some volume. After I removed the pins, I used a large barrel curling iron to create very soft, sexy, bouncy curls. I finished with Tame It shine lotion ($31 at beauty.com) to add shine and texture and Beautiful Hold Hairspray ($32 at beauty.com) for light hold and to calm fly-aways.” Picture-perfect!
