Daisy
Fuentes is a beautiful long haired Latin beauty who was
born in Havana, Cuba in November 17, 1966 to Maria and
Amado Fuentes. When Daisy was three years old the
family moved to Spain and then the United States in
1973.
Spending the majority of her formative years in
Harrison, New Jersey, Daisy became very popular with her
classmates. So popular that she was elected her
high school's first ever Latin American homecoming
queen.
Daisy's
had early aspirations of going to cosmetology school and
opening up a salon because she spent a lot of time doing
her friend's hair and make-up.
Life
has a funny way of taking all of us in unexpected
directions which is what happened to the gorgeous
celebrity. Which is what happened to Daisy who was
"discovered" while attending community college in
communications. Daisy landed her first gig as a
Weather Girl. From there she bootstrapped her
career ultimately successfully dabbling in modeling and
acting. She achieved major fame as a TV hostess.

Daisy's signature hair look is long
tresses that are bursting with full sexy volume, shine
and lots of waves and curls.
As a successful former model, celebrity
and wildly popular TV hostess, Daisy has access to some
of the very best hair and makeup pros in the
Entertainment industry.
It is unclear whether Daisy utilizes
hair extensions or other add-on strands options.
Whether she does or not, her own natural hair, except
for short periods of time, has always been worn long to
very long.
Daisy has a wide face shape that
combines prominent jaws and cheeks with a well defined
forehead.
She successfully minimizes her wide
cheeks with long side strands that are precisely
arranged to form a soft draping from the top to the
middle of her cheeks. Although she has been known
to wear bangs, for the most part daisy wears her hair
off her face with a short center part.
Stealing Daisy's Style

Daisy's long and lovely
style works best for hair that is a few inches below
shoulder length or longer and is medium in texture (or
has some natural bend and waves).
Although this soft sexy style might be difficult to
recreate on ultra curly hair, it would tend to work well on
strands that are straight, pre-straightened or with
slight waves and curls.
One of
the best ways to re-create this style is using
traditional rag rollers. If your hair is waist length
or longer, rag rollers would be the best way to create
the soft tousled waves and curls.
If rag curls are not to your liking, you can also
re-create Daisy's style with a wet roller set or with
hook and latch style rollers or with hot rollers.
A curling iron is also an option.
Unless you are
willing to add-on already curled hair or a half-wig,
keep in mind that to create full lush long curls like
Daisy will take some time.
Before you start make sure that you have all the proper
tools including plenty of rag curlers, a good brush and
comb.
The
instructions below involve the use of home made rag
curlers. If hair is exceptionally long there is a
chance that the strands will be too long for traditional
sponge, hook & latch or Conair rag rollers. In that case it
will be necessary to make your own rag curlers from
clean rags.
Making Rag Rollers

Depending on the thickness and ultimate length of
your hair, plan to make 40-60 rag rollers before you
begin to curl your
Use clean old sheets which make perfect rag strips.
The softer the sheets, the better the results.
The standard rule of thumb is to cut or rip the
sheets into 6" long by 1" wide strips. If your hair is
exceptionally long you may want to make a few "test"
strips to make sure that your hair will roll completely
around the curlers. Adjust the size of your rag strips
accordingly.
Keep in mind that rag rollers are tied off at the
scalp to hold them snugly against the head.
Allow plenty of "tail ends" for this purpose.

To copy
the luscious long curls and waves that Daisy is wearing
throughout this article, perform the following steps:
1.
Begin by washing hair with shampoo designed for your
type, texture and current condition of hair.
If
your hair tends to be dry, select a super moisturizing
shampoo formula like
Robert Hallowell's
Shine Booster Shampoo
which celebrity hairdresser Robert actually uses on many
of his celebrity clients.
Other
formulas you might try include
Phytojoba
or one designed for
colored hair
like
Phytocitrus.
For ultra dry or super fragile strands, use the dry hair
formulas and dilute the shampoo for extra gentleness.
Note:
If
your hair is long or prone to damage, consider either
washing hair with conditioner only, or diluting the
shampoo formula to save wear and tear on your strands.
2.
For hair that is dry, damaged or chemically treated,
follow the shampoo with a rinse-out conditioning
treatment.
Apply
your favorite rinse-out conditioning product. Robert
Hallowell's Prawduct - shine booster conditioner
is an excellent rinse out conditioner for all hair
types.

3.
Be sure to match the products you use to your hair type, texture
and condition.
Work the conditioner into the driest
parts of your hair. Leave on for up to five minutes.
Rinse well. Finish with a cool to cold water rinse.
4.
Towel blot hair (do not rub) and gently squeeze excess
moisture.
5.
Detangle hair with fingers or a smooth detangling comb
and create desired front part.
6.
Apply a cocktail of leave-in conditioner and anti-frizz
products. For soft hold, apply a mousse. For extra
hold apply a gel or gel/mousse product. Distribute well
from roots to the ends.
7.
Let hair air dry until 80-90% dry. If you wish, sit
under a hood dryer or use a blow dryer on low speed,
cool air to remove excess moisture.
8.
Work from one side of the head to the other. Use a wide
tooth comb or hair pick and separate hair into 1-2 inch
sections.
9.
Starting at the end of the hair section, roll the hair
around the strip of your prepared rag curlers. With rag
curlers you can make the hair sections as large or small
as you wish as long as your strip of rag is long enough
to completely encase your hair.

10.
Roll the section of hair up from the ends to your
scalp. The tighter you roll the rag curler, the tighter
the resulting curl. You can either secure the rag
curlers with bobby pins or you can tie them at the ends
to hold them in place against the scalp.
11.
When your entire head has been put in rollers, either go
to bed for the evening, or sit under a hood dryer on
medium heat to get the curls to "set".
12.
When removing the rollers, unwind one section at a
time. After all the curls have been unwound, spray your
entire head with a soft hold hairspray.
Ones
to try:
Rene Furterer
Instant Hold Finishing Spray,
Robert Hallowell's
Rawhold Hairspray.
13. Use fingers or wide tooth hair pick to gently
arrange the curls that cascade freely down towards the
top of the shoulder.
14.
For extra shimmer, apply a drop or two of a shine serum
like
Phyto's PhyoLisse,
Rene Furterer's
Spray Gloss
or Robert Hallowell's
Love That Shine Drops
to the palms of your hands. Rub the serum into the
palms and then lightly glide over the top of the style
to add instant shimmer and shine.

15.
Spray well with hairspray like
Phytolaque
or
Jessica Simpson’s
favorite
Phytolaque Soie
made with real silk to give an extra glossy look to the
style.
16.
Attach any desired
hair accessory
to the finished style. Because this is such a
unkempt style, if accessories are added, they should be
small to avoid detracting from the style’s ultimate
design.
Note:
Remember to always attach accessories last after all
styling products have been applied to avoid damaging
delicate accessories.
17.
Feel beautiful. Remember that a beautiful woman is just as much
about self-confidence as the way that she wears her
hair.
Summary
The
variations on this lovely slightly tousled long hairstyle are endless. Instead
of wearing curls and waves loose, you have the option
to sweep the sides up and softly capture them at the
back of the crown. Or you can wear one side in front
and the other pulled back behind one ear.
Daisy's hairstyle can also be worn stick straight by
utilizing a flat iron or by using a paddle brush and
straightening gels to get a straight look.
Have
fun with this style and experiment with randomly pinning
up alternate strands in the back allowing others to hang
precariously to give that gorgeous Daisy Fuentes look.
