The Look: "It's a quality, shiny blow dry, a little volume but not too much," explained hairstylist Guido Palau explained. He prepped damp strands with a blow dry lotion, then carefully worked through the entire head drying with a large round brush. He finished by tucking the hair behind the ears and adding a gold pin on either side.
