Reese Witherspoon Gets An Adir A-do for ‘Inherent Vice’ Premiere

Celebrity hairstylist (and TME Favorite) Adir Abergel for L’Oreal Paris created Reese Witherspoon’s 1960’s inspired hair look at the Dec. 10 premiere of “Inherent Vice.” The 38-year-old Academy Award winner, who is expected to receive another Oscar nod for her current role in biopic “Wild,” attended the film's Los Angeles premiere.

The blonde beauty looked lovely on Wednesday evening in a pink shift dress with a matching bubble gum lip and vintage-inspired ponytail! “I wanted to create a modern style that had beautiful clean lines with a 60’s twist,” said Adir.

Reese Witherspoon – Get The Look:

STEP 1: Start by applying L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle SLEEK IT Frizz Vanisher Cream from roots to end to create a beautiful smooth foundation.

STEP 2: Next, apply L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT Volume Inject Mousse on the roots to create a lot of volume right at the root

STEP 3: Create a deep side part and blow-dry the hair with a medium round brush

STEP 4: Once hair is dry, separate hair into two-inch sections, going away from the face and wrap the sections in Velcro rollers

STEP 5: Spray the entire head with L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold and let it cool down

STEP 5: Remove all the Velcro rollers and brush hair with a paddle brush to create a beautiful smooth finish

STEP 6: After hair is brushed out, backcomb the crown of the head to give it that great 60’s vibe with a touch of height - a nod to Brigitte Bardot

STEP 7: Pull the hair into a low ponytail, making sure that all the height stays at the crown

STEP 8: Wrap the ponytail with a white elastic band for contrast

STEP 9: Finish the look by applying L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle SLEEK IT Strand-Smoother Serum Spray for a high gloss finish

Kristen Stewart Gets An Adir A-Do For The 2014 HFAs

Celebrity Hairstylist Adir Abergel created the Red Carpet look for Kristen Stewart on Friday, Nov. 14 for the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards (HFAs) held at the Hollywood Palladium. The 24-year-old actress attended the show in support of her movie “Still Alice,” which will be hitting theaters in limited release on December 5.

Stunning on the Red Carpet -- in a Chanel white strapless dress with silver trim and a chain mesh sleeveless turtleneck crop on top, that Kristen paired with the perfect Casadei stilettos. Despite a slightly unfortunate wardrobe malfunction (as if any awards event is interesting without one) Kristen looked sexy, chic and badass.

While the dress was indeed stunning, it was Kristen’s rockabilly pompadour that pulled the look from ordinary to extraordinary and none other than one of Team TME’s favorite stylists could have pulled the look together -- Adir Abergel! And being the sweetie that he is, Adir shared his how-to with TME readers!

“I was inspired by the stunning white and silver dress Kristen wore which had a high collar. To elongate the lines I created an edgy slicked back rockabilly style that was modern and chic,” shared Adir.

Get The Look:

First, I first started by parting the hair on both sides of the temples and the back section of head. I brushed them down and tight against the scalp to give it a more severe effect. I used Moroccan Oil Styling Gel to slick down the sides and back of the hair.
I then applied Leonor Greyl Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice on roots to the top section of hair. This creates a perfect foundation and gave me the volume at the crown I was looking to achieve.
I blow-dried the hair with a diffuser to create movement and volume. Once the hair was completely dry, I teased the root and smoothed the front with a Mason Pearson Brush for a pompadour effect.
For the final step I applied some Magic Move Soft Styling Paste with my fingers to break down the texture and give it a sexy finish. I locked in the look with Rene Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray.

Sofia Vergara’s Emmys Beauty Get The Look

Television’s best gathered at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles on August 25^th for the 66th Primetime Emmys and TME has the inside scoop on how to create Sofia Vergara’s red hot look, starting with the step-by-step hair tutorial for her shiny straight style followed by the breakdown to achieve her easy, breezy, beautiful makeup.

First, Head & Shoulders got the scoop on how to achieve her smooth blow out with a center part from Sofia’s stylist, celeb hair guru Kylee Heath. Follow Kylee’s step-by-step instructions below and you’ll be ready to make your red carpet debut!

1. Start with Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky for a flake-free part and 24-hour frizz control

2. Create a straight center part on damp hair

3. Blow dry the top front section, away from your face, with a boar bristle round brush. Roll the section under itself and pin into place to cool

4. Blow dry the rest of your hair in two square inch sections and pin each section in place then wait for all sections to cool. Once cool, take out each section and brush it

5. With a 1 ½ inch curling iron, add a slight bend to the shorter front layers

6. Finish by spraying with light hairspray for extra hold

Next, Sofia’s makeup artist complemented her Art Deco style with a retro lip and a fresh modern eye. With the white and silver dress, white diamonds and simple hair, the makeup called for a pop of color. See the breakdown below of Sofia’s glamorous look.

Face: I used a shorthaired buffing foundation brush to really buff the foundation, truBLEND Liquid Foundation in Classic Tan D-4, into the skin. I then used a touch of bronzer (Clean Glow Bronzer in Spices) on the forehead, cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose. I added a pop of blush, Clean Glow Blush in Peaches, on the apples of the cheeks to give the look some warmth.

Eyes: I avoided any liner and kept the eyes simple by applying Queen Collection Shadow Pot in Dazzle in a cat eye shape. I applied two coats of Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara on both the top and the bottom, which gave the eyes more structure without looking too heavy.

Lips: The focus was really about the lip, so I needed a long lasting lip product that would last all night through the red carpet, award show AND parties. I didn't want the lip to look too dry so I chose Outlast AllDay Lipcolor in Ever-Reddy as it is super pigmented and would give that punch of color while still looking like a shiny candy apple! I lined the lip with a matching pencil, LipPerfection Lipliner in Passion.

Nicola Peltz Gets Another Adir A-Do For Tokyo ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Premiere

Walking the Red Carpet for the July 28 Tokyo premiere of “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” Nicola Peltz was stunning for top to toe. Wearing a gown by Prada, in the most gorgeous hue of orange, Nicola kept her accessories to a minimum with a simple pair of earrings and Charlotte Olympiagolden sandals. Her hair? Done by none another then Celebrity Hair Stylist Adir Abergel!

Adir Abergel created a graphic off the shoulder style for Nicola, inspired by the lines and movement of her brightly hued orange gown. Adir accentuated the look with a deep-sided part perfectly in balance with the architecture of the dress.

Adir’s tips to achieve this style:

Step 1: When I start a sleek look like this you want the texture of the hair to look shiny, healthy and reflective. Start by using Leonor Greyl Shampooing Reviviscence and Rene Furterer Karite hair mask. This will help moisturize the follicles and bring out the shine.

Step 2: Once your hair is towel dried apply some KMS California De Frizz oil and create you deep parting. The secret to this parting is going back at a diagonal rather than a straight line. This will create a beautiful angle to this style. Make sure the parting is severe to give it the edge.

Step 3: Now I started to dry the hair with my hands making sure to not change the parting until the hair was 100% dry. Once it was dry I was finally ready for my FHI flatiron. I took small sections and flat ironed the hair and created a very sleek shiny texture to hair.

Step 4: After all the hair is smooth and sleek the trick is to take both the front sections of the hair, making sure the deep side part is very clean and smooth and pull it into a very low ponytail at the nape. This is the trick. Having the front of the hair stay tight off the face will make this look modern.

Step 5: Once you've secured that very low ponytail let the rest of the hair from the crown back fall over the ponytail section. No one will ever see that ponytail, but make sure that it’s at the lowest part of your neck when securing.

Step 6: Finish this look with two easy last steps … first one is by spraying Fekkai sheer hold hairspray on a toothbrush and then brushing down the flyways and getting your hairline looking perfect. The second is spraying a little Moroccan oil spray to finish the look and you're ready to go.

Anna Kendrick and Hailee Steinfeld, stars of the much anticipated “Pitch Perfect 2,” were “Belle of the Ball” beautiful at the May 5^th Met Gala. Both beauties opted for classic black and white ensembles, and Celebrity Stylist Matthew Monzon was the maestro behind the looks of these two young hot Hollywood stars!

Matthew shared his inspiration for the effortlessly chic styles that perfectly complemented the ladies classic gowns. “For Anna, I was definitely inspired by Audrey Hepburn, but wanted to take a more modern spin by creating a look that was more structured and sleek.” For Hailee’s look, Matthew took cues from the star’s dress, taking into account the high neckline and full skirt. “[Hailee] had buttons all the way up her back and a high neckline, so I wanted to pull her hair up into a bun that was a little tighter and more structured to really pull together the full look.”

For Anna’s structured modern French twist:

Spray Herbal Essences Set Me Up Heat Protection Spray throughout the hair to protect from heat styling

Blow-dry the hair using a large round brush to give it a slight bend at the ends

Create a deep side part on the right and sweep the hair towards the left side, placing bobby pins from the nape of the neck to the crown to hold the French twist
Then, take all of the hair that’s now on the left side and roll it into itself and secure with hair-pins
Spray the Herbal Essences Set Me Up Medium Hold Hairspray to keep the look in place
Finish with the Herbal Essences Naked Sheer Shine Mist to seal the style with a glossy shine for the red carpet

Met Ball Beautiful with Hair by Adir Abergel

The Met Gala took place Monday, May 5th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And, as always, the stars were shining brightly for this annual fundraiser. The Met Ball served as an opening celebration for The Met’s annual fashion exhibit, which features designer Charles James in a new show titled “Beyond Fashion”. In a TME exclusive, Adir Abergel, whose name is absolutely synonymous with Red Carpet Glam, shares the how-tos for Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart and Maggie Q!

Anne Hathaway - Inspiration: “With her Calvin Klein dress, it had great long lines, so I knew I wanted to continue with that and do a hairstyle that would emphasize and elongate her gorgeous neckline. We decided because her hair has grown in with a little more length that we should do a faux up-do,” shared Adir.

HOW TO: Anne had just washed her hair before I arrived so starting on damp hair, I set in a deep side part and sprayed Suave Volumizing Root Boost Spray and started to rough-dry just using my hands. I wanted to use my hands to get a really nice texture in her hair. Once the hair was dried, I sprayed a little Suave Touchable Finish Lightweight Spray to add texture and separation so it wasn't so sleek. The look we wanted was a faux updo, I started the styling by Spraying a little Suave Moroccan Infusion weightless dry shampoo and back combing the crown give great lift on top. To start the back I twisted the back of her hair into a tight twist and then used hairpins to secure it into place. Once the back was into the twist I sprayed more of the Suave Lightweight Hairspray for hold. I Finish Anne's faux updo and I left her fringe down and swept to the side with added texture. The side swept bang gave it the softness and a more angled look I was looking for.

Kristen Stewart – Inspiration: “After seeing the Chanel dress, I knew immediately I wanted to do a braid with knots in the back but with a great 40's inspired wave in the front. Because her hair is colored and a little damaged, I wanted to make sure the products I used were moisturizing and would help me get a great finish in the hair”.

HOW TO: I first started by blow-drying Kristen's hair with KMS Free Shape 2-in-1 Leave In from roots to ends, which acts like a great heat styler and adds moisture. Then I layered KMS Add Volume Volumizing Spray on the roots. Once the hair was prepped I rough-dried it using just my hands no round brush. Once it was 100% dried I put in a deep side part. Once the side part was determined I took sections of hair on the top front section and curled it around a 1 1/4 in curling iron and pinned to cool and set. After about 10 minutes, I took the hair down and brushed with a Mason Pearson brush into a gorgeous wave and used the KMS Hair Play Wax to smooth out the waves, the wax was perfect because its not too heavy or greasy. On the sides I pulled it back into a French braid and half way down started to change it into a fish tail. Once the braid was finished I sprayed KMS Hair Stay Maximum Hold Spray and pulled the braid out to give it an undone feel that I love.

Maggie Q – Inspiration: “The Zac Posen dress she chose had such great volume and drama on the bottom and was nice a sleek with a great high neckline, that I immediately started pulling from Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. I wanted a classic updo but with a very modern twist”.

HOW TO: Maggie has great thick hair so I wanted to start by giving her a great blow out as a base. I sprayed Rene Furterer Volumizing Root Boost Spray and started my round brush blow-dry using boar bristle brush. The boar bristles gives great shine and luster to the hair. Once Maggie's blow-dry was finished I put in a clean center part, and used Rene Furterer Sculpting Gel to smooth and slick her hair into a low ponytail. To clean it up any extra fly-aways I rubbed a little Rene Furterer Style Wax into my hands to heat it up and ran it over the top and sides. To start the bun, I teased the ponytail to make it big and followed it by smoothing the top section only, using my Mason Pearson brush. Then I wrapped the ends under and created a bun in the shape of a half moon, using large bobby pins to secure it into place making sure I crisscrossed the pins for the most amount of hold. Once the bun was secure I sprayed Rene Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray and shaped the bun into the final shape.
