My Hair Idol: Carrie Underwood

Ever since Carrie Underwood exploded onto the scene by winning American Idol, she has become a bit of a style icon for me.  I am a big country music fan and now that she is queen of the country scene, I could not be more thrilled.  I love how her style is constantly evolving and that goes for everything from her clothes to her hair.  I saw this picture of her and knew that I had to copy her hairstyle.  I’ve had long hair but it is all one length and definitely needed an update.

I took this picture in to my stylist and, needless to say, she was thrilled to help me achieve this look.  The only problem that she mentioned though is that since I have naturally wavy hair, it might be hard to replicate this exact style without a bit of work.  She suggested that I do a good blow out to achieve the volume and body.   No problem, I’ve done that before.  But what really was going to help, she said, was if I got a CHI straightener to help define the layers and smooth out the final look.  Well, I trust my stylist, so I decided to go for it.  Best. Decision. Ever.  It is so easy to style my hair and with the CHI straightener, I feel like I can get the straight-from-the-salon look anytime I want!
