Brave the new wave

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Take these professional beauty tools in your own hands to get runway-worthy hair.

Your Beauty Spot is turning up the heat this week to bring you the very best in styling must-haves. What's our latest obsession? It's MyCurl styling accessories, fashioned by celebrity hairstylist Dario Cotroneo.

Dario has worked with just about every major photographer, supermodel and celeb imaginable, and we've seen this maestro's work gracing the pages of many glossy mags across the world. At $500 a haircut he truly represents sheer genius when it comes to the snip. Having said that, his latest creation didn't stem from a blow-dryer or a pair scissors.

MyCurl is an innovative new styling iron accessory which Dario has been working on behind the scenes for more than two years. After a much anticipated wait, MyCurl has finally arrived, allowing us to effortlessly create voluminous Gisele Bündchen-like waves at home — without overusing irons or curling tongs.

Tight barrel-like curls are now a thing of the past; softer curls are the new wave we've all been dying to achieve. And thanks to this fool-proof, flat accessory, MyCurl is the easiest way to get the look. It creates an S-like shape, that has recently been making its mark on autumn-winter runways in the northern hemisphere.

Follow Dario's step-by-step guide to achieve the look.

  1. Separate hair into three sections: one on each side of the face and one at the back. Lightly spray each section with a protective thermal product. Roll ends around MyCurl and secure with the first strap.
  2. Continue rolling remaining hair and secure the second strap towards the roots.
  3. Clamp with a straightening iron for three to five seconds then remove the iron and allow hair to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

Nifty, huh? We think so too. At-home hair styling has never been so easy!
