Connie Britton (born March 6, 1967) plays the wife of
Coach Taylor - Tami Taylor - on NBC's Friday Night
Lights. The red haired actress was also a fan
favorite on 24 with Keifer Sutherland on Fox.
On the acting radar since 1995, Connie first made big waves as
Nikki Faber on Spin City with Michael J. Fox who had to leave the
show and replaced by Charlie Sheen.
On Spin City she and Michael J. Fox had an on-air romance.
The beautiful actress also had roles on TV's The Fighting
Fitzgeralds and West Wing in addition to some film work.
Although Friday Nights has mixed reviews, it has a strong cult
following.
Getting Connie's Curly Hairstyle:
At the recent William S. Paley Television Festival "Friday Night
Lights" on March 19, 2008, Connie showcased a sample but elegant
black low cut gown with her lush terra cotta hued tresses worn in
soft sensual waves and curls.
Connie has a combination face shape which involves a wide
forehead, square jaw and a rounded chin. The full side sweep
of hair that falls down over her cheek and onto her chin is great
for providing balance and symmetry to Connie's face shape.
The Friday Nights start showed off her beautiful big eyes by
wearing a deep side part with her hair brushed over her crown and
cascading down into a soft side-swept sweep with a gorgeous big wave
nestling into her cheeks. The ends of the curls were allowed
to spill over onto her collar bone and play across the top of
Connie's gown.
Connie's curly hairstyle was a perfect selection for her entire
look. The curly style is one that the actress wears on a
regular basis and it complements her face shape, skin and eye
coloring as well as her body type.
How To Recreate The Hairstyle:
Complete the following steps listed below:

Step 1:
Shampoo and condition your hair with your
normal products designed for your current hair type, texture and
condition.
If your hair is highlighted like Connie's use
either a
moisture enhanced or
color enriched formula. If your hair is dry from chemical
processing, consider diluting the shampoo formula to protect your
strands.
Shampoo products to try:
Phyto - Phytojoba Hydrating Shampoo,
PHYTO - Dry Hair System,
Phyto - PhytoBrush Shampoo. If you have baby fine or thin
hair and wish to build in the same lush movement
and volume that Connie has, use a
volume enhancing shampoo.
Skip any rinse-out conditioning products that
might make hair too soft and flat. If you must use a rinse-out
conditioner, make sure that you limit how much you
use and that you concentrate on the middle to the ends. Rinse well
with a cool water spray which helps build natural volume and
increases shine.
Step 2: Towel
blot strands. Do not rub wet hair which is more fragile and can
break. Detangle strands from the ends to the roots.
Step 3: Apply
your favorite texture enhancing mousse or styling cream. Distribute
from the top of the ears to the ends. Distribute well. If you
prefer, mix with a good
leave-in
conditioner for super shine and softness. To
protect against blow drying heat and
add
body, distribute a leave-in conditioner, mousse or
gel from the top of the ears to the ends. Distribute well.
If your hair is fine or thin, apply a
volumizing gel or similar
products to the roots to get lots of body and movement.

If your hair tends to frizz or is naturally
wavy or curly, you may wish to combine a volume product for the
roots with a smoothing serum for the rest of the hair.
Anti-Frizz Product to try:
Rene Furterer - Control Emulsion Anti-Frizz)
Root volume products to try:
Phyto - Phytovolume Actif,
PHYTO - Volume System,
Phyto - Phytovolume Shampoo).
Step 4: If your
hair is naturally wavy and/or curly, use a long finger diffuser to
create a natural wavy style.
Working from side to side and separating hair into 2" sections, use
a long finger diffuser attached to a blow dryer and allow strands to
nestle into the bowl to dry and enhance waves and curls.
Continue to use diffuser until entire hair is
dry. Avoid touching hair as little as possible to prevent
frizz.
Step 5: If your
hair is naturally straight you will need to build in volume at the
roots.
To build in volume at the roots, use the
round brush to lift your tresses up and
direct the air flow from the dryer up the hair shaft to the
root. This "ruffles the cuticle" helping to add natural fullness.
If you prefer, bend over at the waist and
direct the
air flow of the dryer up the hair shaft towards the roots. When
hair is 90% dry, bend right side up and work on the hair from the
ears down to the ends.
Seal the style by finishing up with a blast
of cool air, if possible, from your
blow
dryer.

Step 6: If you
used a long finger diffuser to create natural waves and curls, once
your hair is completely dry, use your fingers to arrange waves and
curls into the desired pattern. If you wish, you may use a
curling iron to create a tighter or wave pattern.
Step 7: If you
used a round brush, when hair is completely dry separate into 2"
sections and roll with medium to large sized electric rollers.
Let rollers cool in the hair. Remove and arrange new curls and
waves with fingers.
Step 8: Spray the
finished style with a good holding
hairspray.
Hairspray to try:
PhytoPro - Instant Hold Spray #15).
Step 9: Apply a
tiny drop of shine serum, drops or spray into the palms of your
hands. Lightly brush the palms over the top of your style and you
are ready to rock.
Shine products to try:
Phyto - PhytoLisse (Formerly Phytodefrisant RelaxSerum)
If you prefer, you can use a
curling
iron to turn under the ends a little bit or use a
straight iron on selected pieces around the face to give a
contrasting texture to the finished look.
Summary
Although Connie occasionally wears her hair
straight, the majority of the time she rocks a variety of long, lush
curly and wavy hairstyles. She favors either side-swept long
slices of hair that nestle into her face or she wears a soft version
of "wings" along her face as she did in 2003 at the House of 1000
Corpses Premiere.
Regardless of the fate of Friday Night
Lights, Connie Britton will continue to be a fan favorite and rock
her luscious long curly hairstyles.
