Alterna & celebrity stylist Daniel Howell team up at the 64th Annual Emmy Awards to style Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s lovely locks! Find out just how Daniel achieved this fabulous look below.

Daniel’s Inspiration: “I loved that Julia’s modern dress had subtle vintage details, and I wanted to translate that into her hairstyle with an organic & textured chignon at the nape of the neck.”

Hair Prep:

•Begin by washing hair using Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner. It’s important to use products specifically designed for colored treated hair to lock in moisture.
•Towel dry hair and spray generously with Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Styling Prep; comb product through using a wide-tooth comb.
•Rough dry with fingertips and a diffuser attachment in an upward motion to create lots of volume from the scalp.

Hair Style:
•Begin at the nape & divide hair into 2” sections. Spray with Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Perfect Iron Spray; this will lock in moisture but block out humidity (which is the enemy of keeping a style)
•Using a ¾” curling iron, wrap sections around the iron keeping it an inch from the scalp. Hold for 30 seconds. Continue until all hair is curled.
•Smooth a dime-sized amount of Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Ultra Sleek Polishing Serum through the ends of the hair to eliminate flyaways.
•Create a deep center part, and pull hair into a low, loose ponytail. Twist and wrap pony into a loose knot and secure with small bobby pins

Finishing Touches:
•“To ensure the style holds, mist with Alterna Caviar Extra Hold Hair Spray in long feathery strokes.
