Lucy Liu
Lucy Liu radiates an unfussy, smart-girl kind of glamour. She appears sophisticated without "working it." Her glam always looks easy. Even when she goes for a little something outrageous, like the hairpiece, or fall, that she's wearing here, she does it with smarts, and we think she looks smashing. Follow these steps to get Lucy's glamorous look.
Hair extensions and falls are a great way to add length. Here, Lucy's fall is attached to the hair at the crown of her head. When you're buying a fall, go with human hair and match the color and texture of your natural hair. The mark of a good fall is that it lies flat against the head and looks clean, smooth and shiny so as to blend and swing into the wearer's remaining natural locks. (If you use human hair extensions, you can color them to match your hair. Dye them as you would your own hair, or have your colorist do it.)
You'll need:
Hair fall/extensions
Long hair clip
Bobby pins that match your hair color
Round brush and combs
Blow dryer
STEP 1 Shampoo and condition hair only at the ends. (Don't apply conditioner to your crown, as it will make your hair and scalp slippery.)
STEP 2 Blow-dry hair.
STEP 3 Carefully and symmetrically section off the hair in front by making a horizontal part from ear to ear, about two inches below the crown on the back of your head.
STEP 4 Comb the sectioned-off hair forward and secure it with a long hair clip. (Later, this section will be brought back down over the fall and combed, styled and arranged to blend into the fall itself, as if the fall were an extension of your hair.)
STEP 5 Form about 10 or 12 little pin curls by twisting small sections of hair and securing them with short bobby pins, about four to six to a row, in two or three rows. (Make sure bobby pins are the same color as your hair.) The pin curls will serve to take any excess bulk from your natural hair, keeping it flat under the fall, while providing a secure place to attach the fall.
STEP 6 Now you're ready to lay the fall over the original parted area at the crown of your head. Line up the top of the fall against the horizontal part you made across your hairline, pinning it to the pin curls across as you go. (If you're using a fall or hair extensions with combs, gently tease the hair at the root and affix the combs to the teased hair. The roughed-up hair helps hold the combs in place.)
STEP 7 Release the hair that you sectioned off from the crown of your head, and gently comb your natural hair over the fall.
