I loved seeing actress and Emmy presenter Kate Walsh at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night giving a shout-out to Suave on the red carpet!

Kate put America in the stylists’ shoes and asked them to choose her hairstyle for the Emmys — and the Modern Bob WON! Celebrity hair stylist Luke O’Connor created Kate’s winning hair for her red carpet strut. Kate paired her high end fashion with affordable finds like Suave Professionals, which are salon-proven to work as well as salon brands. Here are his tips on how to get Kate’s look:

Modern Bob – Get the Look!

- Begin with Vibrant Shine shampoo and conditioner from Suave Professionals to restore shine and luster to dull hair.

- Next, blow dry hair in sections with a large round brush.

- For the side-swept bangs, take the front section and blow-dry back with a large round brush, swooping to the side.

- Finally, apply a dollop of Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream. Apply first to ends and work your way up to control fly-aways.

- Finish the look with Suave Professionals Extra Hold Hairspray.

Here in my living room, we were having our own little Emmy party with stylists from a local salon called Bella. It was so fun to try and re-create red carpet looks with products from the Suave Professionals line.

After seeing lots of twisty-dos on the red carpet, Bree chose an off-center, loose chignon with lots of twists and detail. To get this look, Bella Salon stylist Jeannette used Suave Professionals Volumizing Root Lifter Spray Gel before curling Bree’s hair with a 1 1/4″ curling iron.

After sweeping the bottom portion of Bree’s hair into a chignon, Jeannette twisted strands from the sides and attached them at the back with bobby pins. She finished the look with Suave Professionals Freeze Hold Shaping & Finishing Spray.

Elysse loved the look of Jennifer Love Hewitt, but opted for more volume. To create this look, Jeannette added Suave Professionals Healthy Curls Scrunching Mousse to Elysse’s hair before adding curls.

She twisted strands along the hairline and secured them at the sides, then sprayed with Suave Professionals Freeze Hold Shaping & Finishing Spray for the finished look. Gorgeous!

Even Janey got in on the fun with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired French twist:

Bailey opted for beachy waves to match her bleached-out summer hair:

Our other party guests were camera-shy, but everyone had a wonderful time watching the Emmy’s and getting styled with Suave Professionals products.

Special thanks to Suave Professionals and Bella Salon for a fun evening!
