Sideswipe

The elegant sideswipe brings an instant touch of Old Hollywood sophistication to any look—day or night—and is currently one of Tinseltown’s most popular looks. Because this style draws attention to your neckline, it’s a prime partner for a strapless top or dress. Celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend, who reveals that Nicole Richie requests this hairdo all the time, shares his simple steps for stealing this sexy, retro look.

Now that you’ve got your Hollywood tresses, get your celebrity hair match! Take the test.

hair serum

Apply a small amount of frizz-control serum to wet
hair and then comb a far part on one side of the head.

round brush

Next, blow-dry your hair with a large
round brush, pulling the front heavy
section forward, away from the part.
Make sure to aim the blow-dryer
down with the grain of the hair to
minimize flyaways.

Midway through drying, pin your damp hair to the
side while you continue blow-drying the rest of your
hair. When the back of the hair is dry and smooth,
secure it into a low ponytail or bun.

KIEHL’S
finishing creme

Remove the pin that was holding
the hair to the side, then fringe
or curl random pieces. As a final
touch, apply a small amount of
finishing cream for extra hold
and shine.
