Angelina Jolie’s Red Carpet Hair by David Babaii


Angelina Jolie – sizzling in Atelier Versace – brings a little flavor to a photocall for her latest film, Salt, in Cancun, Mexico, last week. The spy thriller, her first movie since 2008, hits theaters on July 23.
All eyes were on Angelina Jolie at the international press junket for her highly-anticipated film, “Salt,” in Cancun, Mexico today.

Truly breathtaking, she wore an elegant, white strapless dress with hair that was smooth, sleek and natural-looking.  It was styled by David Babaii, who created her beautiful new style with bangs.

This is how David achieved the look:

“The humid climate and tropical breezes of Cancun presented unique styling challenges.  After cutting the bangs a bit shorter and chipping into them so they appeared even softer and swept away, I dampened her hair and applied Moroccanoil Treatment to protect it during blow drying, prevent frizz in this a very damp environment, and lock in weightless, natural-looking shine.

Next, I applied Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to create soft hold, and smooth any bends in her texture.  I then made a side part, sweeping the bangs to the left, and created three sections: two on the side and a larger one in the back.  I used a large round brush to blow each section smooth.

To complete the look, I manipulated the hair and tousled it for a natural, bohemian touch.  I finished with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray for strong hold that kept the style in place but allowed it to move naturally.”
