The Look of Gwen Stefani
 Gwen Stefani, the lead singer of No Doubt, is busier than ever.
Whether singing with the band, performing solo or designing for her new
fashion line and being a “hands on mom,” you will find her look up to
the minute and just a bit on the risky side. The signature look of the
platinum blonde and deep red lipstick never disappoints nor misses the
mark. Whatever your mood, look to Gwen Stefani for your inspiration and
you will never fail to rock your world.
Your hair color can be as dramatic as Gwen’s. The color is achieved
in 2 steps so please consult your stylist and determine if the platinum
blonde is a color that you can carry well. Your stylist may suggest a
color a bit more compatible with your own color. If this is the case,
don’t worry. Your signature look is just that: your very own. Gwen’s
color is achieved by first bleaching the hair to a pale blonde stage,
and then toner is applied to achieve the white blonde effect. Whatever
the color choice, these hairstyles are easily adaptable and fun to wear.
The majority of these looks work best if you have bit of a wave in your
hair. Gwen’s is natural. You may wish to consider a permanent wave to
achieve the looks you prefer. To get Gwen’s look, start with a cut that
is layered and contoured to your face, called short framing. It will
soften and, at the same time, accentuate large facial features. Gwen’s
face, while beautiful, is rather sharp and dramatic. This is one reason
her hairstyles work so well for her. Gwen does have a cut that she uses
when wearing her hair longer; the hair is to the shoulders and lightly
layered through the ends. Those with a long or narrow face can adjust to
this hair cut well. Once you decide on the length and the cut, you can
then become an expert at styling at home.
 While hair is still wet, mist with a fast drying spray gel and then
blow dry to create volume. If you hair is a bit on the thin side, it is
fine to use a mousse to pump it up. After hair is dry, curl large
sections at a time with a large barrel curling iron. If you prefer using
electric rollers, that is fine, also. Just be sure to use the largest
ones you can find. Brush and arrange your hair in the shape you wish,
and then tease for hold and support. Mist with a finishing hair spray.
If you are blessed with curly hair, go ahead and take advantage of it!
The majority of the styles will work beautifully for you. Styling is
different so make note that with curly hair, begin with applying a
straightening balm through wet hair. Blow dry to allow curl to relax and
add fullness. When hair is dry, section and curl with large rollers or
your large barrel curling iron. Finger comb through to loosen the set.
Mist with your favorite holding spray.
One of Gwen’s favorite looks for a casual day with family and friends
involves pulling hair straight back and into a pony tail. The signature
look is kept hot by gathering the bang onto one large roller or large
barrel curling iron and curling them under to a curly que on the end.
The pony tail co-stars with its own little flip at the end. Play the
blonde by using liner to create a dramatic eye and, of course, your
favorite lipstick. Such a pretty look!
