Lusting After Kim Kardashian's Sexy Hair? Us Too. Here's How to DIY Her 'Do.

Before I get into all the hairstyle tippage, I just have to geek out for a second: When I spotted Kim Kardashian backstage at the Catherine Malandrino show at New York Fashion Week, she pretty much stopped me in my tracks. Kim's skin and makeup looked totally flawless, and her hair was so shiny that I almost needed my sunglasses. The Bumble and Bumble hair team is responsible for her sexy 'do, so I immediately asked them for all the scoop. "I wanted to give Kim a glamorous, pretty, old-Hollywood style that played up her classically beautiful features," Bumble and Bumble stylist Rolando Beauchamp told me. "To start, I applied Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray to Kim's damp hair and created a very deep, very straight side part with a fine-toothed comb. I then used a large round brush to blow out her hair in sections, making sure each section of hair was exactly the same width as the round brush. That's the key to achieving the smooth, glassy finish." Easy, right? I want to run home right now and try Rolando's tip myself, but before I do, here's one last hairstyle tip for my fellow Kardashian fans: Rolando used velvet-coated hot rollers called Remington Protect & Shine Rollers to create Kim's bodacious curls. After removing curlers from Kim's hair, he gently brushed the curls into soft waves and then finished the look with Bumble and Bumble Does It All Hairspray.
