Get the Look: Hairstylist Adir Abergel created a modern and romantic up-do for model Karolina Kurkova, who attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Hollywood. Abergel used L’Oréal Professionnel’s textureline hotstyle hotvolumefoam to give Kurkova’s hair more body and to add that very important texture needed for styling. Abergel then placed a dime size portion of textureline’s freshstyle featherweightcreme in his hands and massaged it through Kurkova’s ends. He twisted her hair back into a ponytail and fishtail braided it. Abergel finished off the modern romantic look by tucking in the fishtail braid, creating a softly sculpted textural bun.
