Lauren Graham's Perfect Red Carpet Look

I love the sleek, yet curly, side ponytail!

I have been a huge Lauren Graham fan ever since Gilmore Girls and I am so excited that she has a new show coming out soon.  Have you seen the previews for Parenthood?  Its about time she got back on TV!  I loved her look on the red carpet here.  The side swept ponytail that is sleek in front and loosely curled in the back is so easy to recreate when you have a ceramic flat iron.  Since you can use your ceramic flat iron to both straighten and curl your hair, it really is like having two tools in one.  First,  I would straighten your hair all over so you can get the sleekness of this look.  Then, create a deep side part that goes back about an inch and a half from  your forehead.  Secure that section of your hair with a bobby pin that matches your hair color.  Tease the crown of your hair slightly to achieve a bit of height and then smooth back that hair into a low ponytail that sits slightly to the side at the nape of your neck.  Then take your ceramic flat iron and use it as a curling iron, wrapping half inch sections around the barrel and curling up.  Let the curls fall loosely and you have the perfect hairdo for day or night!
