Volume gave a new twist to the traditional up’do,” says Gatsby Salon stylist Denise Gunnello. To get the look:
Tips from the Gatsby Salon
1. Start with using a volumizer on damp hair’s roots. (Try Gatsby Salon’s Texture Lift, $12.50 available by calling 732.752.4247)
2. Blowdry hair using your fingers to create volume and texture within your hair.
3. Once hair is completely dry, tease hair from temple to temple, beginning along the hairline.
4. Smooth out slightly with fingers to give it an “unpolished look”.
5. Use your fingers to direction hair towards the back of your head.
6. Apply a flexible hold spray to keep teased hair in place as you create the back of the look.
7. Begin gathering hair at the nape of your neck in a loose, messy bun-type shape.
8. Use bobby pins to secure hair in place. TIP: Create an X by criss-crossing bobby pins to create a more secure style.
9. Use a medium to strong hold hairspray to ensure this look lasts throughout the evening.

Red Carpet Hair Tips by the Gatsby Salon
The Look
Side Swept waves
Who wore it: Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, Sherri Shepard, Kate Winslet
“The Veronica Lake look was in full bloom at this year’s Oscars,” says Gayle Giacomo owner and expert stylist, Gatsby Salon in Green Brook , NJ . “Sandra Bullock, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz laminated the red carpet with this timeless style.”
Simple at-home steps to recreate this look:
1. Start with using a volumizer on damp hair’s roots. (Try Gatsby Salon’s Texture Lift, $12.50 available by calling 732.752.4247)
2. Use a blow dryer to remove excess moisture from hair.
3. Section hair into five sections. A right and left section at the nape of the neck, a section on the right and left sides of your head, and the top of your head.
4. Blowdry each section using a round brush and dry hair in a vertical direction, pulling the hair straight up from your head to create volume and lift at the root.
5. After entire head is dried, form the same 5 sections. Use a 1 ½ inch barrel curling iron to curl sections, beginning at the bottom of hair sections.
6. To create an arch and bend at the root, place the iron on the root and pull upwards as you move it to the ends of the hair.
7. Once the iron has reached the ends, keep the curling iron horizontal as you rotate the iron back towards the root area, creating a curl. Once hair is heated in this position, release the iron from the hair, letting the hair fall.
8. Follow immediately with a flexible hold hairspray (Try Gatsby Salon’s Structura Shaping Spray, $14.95 available by calling 732.752.4247) and allow hair to cool.
12. Create a part that suits your style and use your fingers to tame and place hair to the direction you desire.
13. Complete style by using a holding spray to secure this look.
