Actress
America Ferrera continues to transform into a sophisticated
young lady. At the ShoWest-Warner Brother Big Picture '08
event she wore a stunning shimmering black form fitting strapless
gown. The Latin actress who is beloved as the frumpy Betty
Suarez on Ugly Betty is completely different off-camera.
Unlike Betty, America is slim and trim and
looks stunning in couture. She also loves to wear her hair
long and lush with tons of volume. Her celebrity hairdresser?
The charming Aussie, Campbell McAuley who is an L.A. based
free lancer with magical hairstyling skills.
What does Campbell use to amp up America's
smoky black tresses? He loves Phytovolume Actif Volumizing
Spray for fullness. He believes the natural botanical
ingredients bring out body as well as shine.
America Ferrera was born on April 18, 1984, the
sixth and youngest child of Honduran immigrants and grew up in
Woodland Hills, California.
America's father left the family when she was
just seven years old and moved back to Honduras.
Betty's mother, also named America, was a
manager for housekeeping for the Hilton Hotel chain and decided to
stay in California for the sake of her children

For this lush long 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 or chemically
processed 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 Julie 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.
To achieve lots of fullness and volume apply a
volumizing gel or similar
products to the roots to get lots of body and movement.
Root volume products to try:
Phyto - Phytovolume Actif,
PHYTO - Volume System,
Phyto - Phytovolume Shampoo).
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)
Step 4:
Working from side to side and separating hair into 2" sections, use
a boar's bristle medium sized
round brush to lift your tresses up.
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 5: 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 waves
with fingers. Use a medium barrel curling iron to touch up any
sections that are still flat or to roll ends under.
Step 6: Spray the
finished style with a good holding
hairspray. Hairspray to try:
PhytoPro - Instant Hold Spray #15).
Step 7: 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.
