How do they look so good?
I’m often asked about celebrities – actresses, presenters, models and pop stars. Friends will ask, often while flicking through magazines or perhaps at a dinner party, “How do they look so good?” or, “Do they really look like that?”.
In the interest of finding out just what it is that gives that “wow” factor, I challenge you to live for a week like you are a celebrity. With the paps on your tail, waiting outside your home to get a photo of you on your way to the corner shop or when you go to a restaurant. I put it to you that based on this fact alone, your outfit choice would change. If you had Heat magazine quoting on your look, threatening to put you in the “ring of shame” or maybe rate your hairstyle or even feature you in “Who wore it best?”, would you really wear that dress you weren’t too sure about but threw on anyway? (Or is that just me?)
Beauty-wise and hair-wise, living like a celeb can do wonders for your look. As a hairstylist, to give advice on these very lines will mean you are giving a better service.
I decided to live a month like this. I am calling it “practise what you preach”. I am following every bit of advice and how-to quote that I give .
The women I meet who are in the public eye take so much care of themselves in every way. They are women who apply a hair mask three times a week and dry brush in the shower! Yes, they have people like me to help them get ready for a special occasion, but mostly they keep an amazing beauty regime.
After just one week my hair is super-soft! I am doing my final rinse with bottles of mineral water after applying a mask and after a night’s sleep with a treatment in my hair!
The thing that’s surprised me most is how much I have been amazed by the results! Of course we know these beauty regimes could work, but do we ever really keep them up?
As you swoon at Alexa’s glowing skin and wonder how models go from blonde to dark then back to blonde with shiny hair – remember this blog.
Now, I am no Alexa, but hopefully I will keep the Rehab Britney look safely at bay!
