Favorite Hairstyles on the Red Carpet at the 2018 Espy Awards
Red Carpet At Its FinestThe 2018 Espy Awards on Wednesday in Los Angeles has all the leaders in sports and entertainment gracing the red carpet. I am so excited to take a peep into the athletic world and get a sense of the individual styles of the athletes we watch on television and at live events. For this award show, I must admit the stars cleaned up nice and I notice the women kept their hair simple. I love the fact that they kept it easy because I believe a lot of the styles allow us to appreciate the total look. Let's check out some of the red carpet looks below! |
Women Who Rocked It At The EspysOlivia HoltOlivia is an American actress who is on the Disney channel. I must admit this style she wore matures her and showcases her as the multi-talented artist she is. She’s wearing a sleek look for Espy awards. Her slicked-back style is hassle-free and the perfect style for a short bob like hers. The smooth and sleek style is a red carpet favorite. The key to getting this look is to use a styling serum or gel to create and maintain the look. Here are some of our favorite styling products to replicate the hairstyle:

Kayla NicoleKayla is the girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Sis did it right! Her bundles are beautiful, but they don’t take over her entire look. You are only a few bundles away from getting the same look she wore on the red carpet! Her hair is just effortless. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of a hairstyle like this one:Tip #1You can easily find a quality wig with a nice body wave to it or you can add curls using a curling wand.Tip #2A sew-in is another option. Just make sure your foundation braids are small and neat to allow for a smooth look.Tip #3Finish off your style with light hair oil. The ones in the Organix hair care line are perfect. The hair needs to have a nice shine to it.Tip #4Keep the curls under control by using a few bobby pins strategically around the crown of the head. Notice she has some hair slightly pinned back and some hair gracefully framing her face. |

Alexandra RaismanAlexandra is an Olympic gold medal gymnast who recently was a member of the 2016 Olympic gymnast team. She looks gorgeous in her white floor length gown. The most stunning part of her look, for me, is her hair. Her waves wave “Hey girl” to you as they cascade over her shoulder. I love the center part and how the right side of her hair is behind her ear. Want your hair to look this flawless? Check out my tips below: If you want to create your waves using a shortcut you can purchase your Brazilian loose waves bundles and install them as a sew-in or make a wig. Private Label has tons of information on how to achieve both so check out some of our articles here on the site. If your hair is at length you desire and you want to add these beautiful waves, I’m going to help you out. Here’s how to create them in a few easy steps:Step #1Brush out any tangles and separate your hair into two sidesStep #2Use your curling iron or a curling rod to curl a small section at a timeStep #3Wrap your hair around the iron and let sit for about 5 secondsStep #4Once the curl is in place, don’t manipulate it until you are ready to style your entire headStep #5You are going to want tight curls so make sure you apply enough heat to seal in the wave pattern (please don’t keep it on your hair too long to avoid damage)Step #6Once you get to the top of your head curl a bit looser because you want body on the ends and not on the top of your headStep #7Part your hair in a center part and curl the hairline going backwardStep #8Use a styling serum or gel to smooth back one side of your hairStep #9Once it is smooth, use a few hairpins (ones that match your hair color) and pin the hair in placeStep #10Blend all your hair to the back and on one side making sure to use hairspray to keep the waves in place. |
