"To fit it to her personal style we went for a fiery version. Rather than a brown base red, we went for super bright. For her style and skin tone, she needs to be either dark-dark, bright white, or intense red. Nothing in between," said Tabitha.

First prep your damp hair with the Color Wow Kale Cocktail ($25). Since Ariel made the drastic transformation of dying her hair from black to red, the Kale Cocktail helps to prevent breakage. It’s also a leave-in treatment which helps strengthens your locks.

Next, coat your hair with the Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Hair Treatment ($28). This will give your mane a sleek and shiny finish to last from day to night. The key to fighting frizz is all about controlling moisture levels and locking the cuticle down as tight and smooth as possible. Use this to beat the heat and control your frizz.

Follow by blowing out the hair using the ghd air festival collection hair dryer ($199) which thanks to its advanced ionic technology reduces frizz and flyaways. The hair blower is designed to activate both the kale cocktail and anti-humidity hair treatment. Once dry, curl the hair using the ghd curve soft curl iron ($199). For a sleek, glamorous look, curl all sections of hair in the same direction. After the entire head is curled, brush the curls out smoothly.
