Matthew Monzon’s hair care breakdown, using Leonor Greyl products, for Emmy winner Julianna Margulies for the 63^rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

“For Julianna Margulies’ Emmys look, I wanted to mirror the glamour of her gorgeous Armani prive gown with an old Hollywood, Veronica Lake-inspired style. However, I still wanted Julianna to look modern, so I kept the style somewhat deconstructed.

1.  start with damp hair and work Leonor Greyl’s Lait Luminescence Bi-Phase Detangling Milk through  hair, applying the product only from the mid-shaft down through the ends so as not to over-saturate it.http://www.mylifeinbeauty.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=15464&action=edit

2. To create volume,  combe Leonor Greyl’s Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice through the hair with a wide-tooth comb and blow-dried it using a two-inch round brush, making a deep side part on the left and then set the top portion of  hair in Velcro rollers for a little bit of extra oomph.

Then  start to work on the back:

3.  Making sure to spray Leonor Greyl Voluforme Styling Spray for Volume and Hold to each section before curling,  using a 1½ inch curling iron to barrel-curl the bottommost layer of hair in a uniform direction

4.  Creating another layer on top of that one, barrel-curling the sections but this time changing the direction of the curl from that of the first layer

 Continue this pattern for remaining portion of the back of hair by creating layer on top of layer, maintaining the direction of the curl within one layer and switching to the opposite direction for the next. Alternating the direction of the curl between layers allowed the hair to fall into the wave that I was hoping to achieve.

After completing the back of Julianna’s hair, I removed the top half from the Velcro rollers and brushed through with a boar bristle brush, creating a soft wave with my fingers.

To complete the look,  finish with a spray of Leonor Greyl’s Laque Souple Light Styling Spray for hold.”
