Insider Hair Tips From Behind the Velvet Ropes to Every Latinas Fingertips

The looks, fresh off the green carpet at this year’s grand event, the Latin GRAMMYs(R), are setting the stage for holiday style. Leonardo Rocco, internationally renowned stylist to the stars was backstage at this year’s Latin GRAMMYs(R) styling the tresses of GRAMMY(R)-nominated Mexican singer/actress Belinda. Now, he shares exclusive behind-the-scenes footage on www.pasalabelleza.com/dove so Latinas everywhere will get the inside scoop on how to care and style their hair according to this year’s hottest trends.

“Belinda wanted a natural and beautiful look for the Latin GRAMMYs(R),” says Leonardo Rocco. “However, obtaining camera-ready looks throughout the year had taken a toll on Belinda’s hair. To style it for this special occasion I used Dove(R) Hair Care products to protect and repair her hair, giving it soft, smooth radiance.” Following are some behind-the-scenes beauty tips to make your holiday hair style a hit:

Breathe New Life Into Hair. Weather elements, chemical processes and heat-styling tools can damage hair. Leonardo recommends using Dove(R) Intense Damage Therapy Shampoo, Conditioner and Repairing Treatment to repair severely damaged hair for more body, shine and strength in just five days. Latinas have distinct hair types and the Dove(R) Hair Care product line provides individualized solutions so that they can have the hair they crave.

Top Trends. This year’s Latin GRAMMYs(R) featured some of the season’s hottest hair trends, many of which will be donned for the holidays. Styles included hair parted to the side or down the middle, falling straight or in sleek layers. Several stars wore their hair in either old-Hollywood style waves or with defined curls worn loosely down or pinned back. Latinas should turn to these looks as a starting point for ideas, but play with their hair texture to create a distinct look that is true to their real, beautiful hair.

Set and Hold the Look. To achieve any style start with a smoothing product to prevent frizz and keep the hair cuticle smooth. A wide-tooth comb helps to evenly distribute product throughout hair. Keep hair pins handy to hold stray hairs in place. Jeweled hair pins can serve a dual purpose of holding and decorating hair. Complete any look with finishing spray. Fast-drying Aerosol and non-aerosol hairsprays are ideal for increased manageability that lend to a beautiful style, helping hair feel soft and natural.

Event-Ready. With many upcoming holiday functions, it is essential to know how to get ready within minutes. On www.pasalabelleza.com/dove, Leonardo shares tips that will leave your hair event-ready in only 20 minutes. Leonardo recommends Dove(R) Body and Lift Volumizing Mousse on the roots to pump up the volume and Dove(R) Advanced Care Leave-In Glossing Mist on hair ends for extra shine. To create loose, cascading waves he separates hair into sections and wraps them around the barrel of a curling iron. Lastly, Leonardo completes the look by keeping the waves in place with a finishing spray.
