Have you seen “Julie & Julie” yet? It’s about a food blogger who basically stalks Julia Childs (who was said to be annoyed before her passing) and decides to try every 524 recipes in Julia’s cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in 365 days! The fabulous Amy Adams plays the food obsessed Julie (with Meryl Streep as Julia Child). We asked Matrix celebrity hairdresser, Mark Townsend, how he created Amy’s looks from coast to coast on the red carpet! He tells us he wanted Amy’s hair to be modern and glamorous to match her Carolina Herrera gown for the New York premiere. (Jump to read how he achieved this look!)
I like her hair at the LA premiere better. 
The smooth and chic style is very flattering for her gorgeous read hair and she looks 10 years younger. “For the Los Angeles screening of ‘Julie & Julia,’ I was inspired by beauty shots from the 80s that I’ve collected over the years, very Carol Alt,” Townsend comments. Strangely, she does kinda resemble Carol Alt with this hair.

NEW YORK STYLE: “I’ve been very inspired lately by hairstyles from the 80s with lots of volume,” said Townsend. Mark started by spraying Biolage volumatherapie Bodifying Spray Gel
into Amy’s damp hair and blow dried it with a medium size Spornette Mixed Bristle
round brush to get a good deal of volume in her hair. Next, he set her hair with hot rollers, making sure to wrap the hair around the roller from roots to ends to give it a nice wave. Once the hair was cool, he removed the rollers and brushed out her hair with a flat brush, parting it to the side. To add some texture and shine, he sprayed Biolage Shine Endure Spritz into her hair and gave it a scrunch. Lastly, he sprayed down any flyaway hair with Vavoom ShapeMaker hairspray.
HOLLYWOOD GLAM: He added Vavoom Gold Heat Blow-In Volume Protective Lotion to Amy’s
damp hair and blow dried it with a Mason Pearson brush, lifting the
roots for some height and keeping the ends straight. To add some
texture to the hair, he then rubbed Vavoom Loosely Defined Texture
Cream into his hands and then raked them through Amy’s hair. “I love
the way it makes the hair super shiny and piece-y looking.”
