Gretchen’s Hair

Volumizing shampoo and conditioner add bounce, but don’t use them daily as they tend to cause dryness. To get hair like Gretchen Rossi, blow dry with a paddle brush in the opposite direction of growth for maximum root lift and put some bend in your bangs with a large Velcro roller. Sleep on a satin pillowcase overnight for buttery-soft strands.

In the morning, splash your face with ice water for instant radiance. Build a deep tan that looks natural by applying self tanning lotion the night before an event and applying bronzing liquid to the high parts of the face.

The living Barbie Doll look isn’t complete without lacquered lips. Remember, lots of gloss looks fetching only when the color is subdued. --Stephanie Simons
