Learn to Create Looks Worn by Cobie Smulders and Amber Heard

Celebrity stylist Davy Newkirk used Joico product to style the chic looks donned in recent photo shoots

Joico products were working overtime when New York celebrity stylist Davy Newkirk reached for his favorites for two different cover shoots with beauties Cobie Smulders and Amber Heard. In both cases the high-performance Joico formulas truly enhanced both models locks over the course of long shooting days.

On Cobie Smulders:

Smulders was joined by her How I Met Your Mother cast mates for an Entertainment Weekly shoot for the September issue. It was designed to look like a fun Hollywood party. "The idea was that as the night went on, the hair would get a bit wilder. This gave the hairstyle a chance to have a 'cool' factor, which is the type of style that Cobie carries so well," says celeb stylist Davy Newkirk.

To create the look on Cobie's naturally curly locks, Newkirk applied Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam and blew out the hair. Then he swirled her strands around a one-inch curling iron, alternating the sizes and directions of the sections. Once the hair was curled, he wrapped each curl into knots and pinned them in place to set. After releasing the knots, he applied Joico Texture Boost Dry Spray Wax, separated the hair with his hands, hit it with the air from a blow dryer and misted it with Joico Power Spray Fast-Drying Finishing Spray.

For the second, "end of the party" look, Newkirk backcombed select sections with the Power Spray and a combination of his hands and a medium-tooth comb. "The Power Whip was great with Cobie's hair type," says Newkirk. "It created fullness and body-and the Texture Boost created the ideal texture for the cool, modern look we were after."

This loose look, worn by Amber Heard, was created with some of Joico's styling stars.

On Amber Heard:

Heard-who stars in Paranoia with Liam Hemsworth, Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Josh Holloway- recently posed for Net-A-Porter's The Edit shoot. Newkirk reports that the inspiration for the shoot was the Elizabeth Taylor version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

"The wardrobe brought amazing pieces from top designers like Giambattista Valli, D&C, Alexander McQueen, and Jimmy Choo, so we decided to put Amber's hair up, with a modern twist on the decade in which the movie first premiered."

Newkirk first applied Power Whip to Amber's long, thick hair and blew it dry with a large round brush. Then he misted sections with Texture Boost and rolled them into large barrel curls with his hands, pinning each one into place. Once the hair set, he released the curls and backcombed them with a Mason Pearson brush.

Next he sprayed each section with Joico Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo, followed by another blast of Texture Boost. He then brushed through, pulled all sections to the occipital and secured the hair with bobby pins, then formed a knot and secured it with hair pins.

"During the shoot, I pulled pieces out to frame the face and to create texture and movement," he says. "Thanks to the Instant Refresh and Texture Boost, it was really easy to manipulate Amber's hair throughout the day to get the perfect shots!"

The cover and spread appeared in Net-A-Porter's The Edit, which debuted in mid-August.
