Star products: babyliss pro marcel tongs

The cast of hot new movie Me and Orson Wells , including leading lady Claire Danes and man-of-the-moment Zac Efron, were given a 1930s makeover by stylist Karen Cohen using BaByliss PRO Marcel Tongs.

Says Karen: "We love using BaByliss PRO for creating our hairstyles, particularly re-creating a "period" feel.

"Me & Orson Welles was set in New York in 1937 when the fashion of the time was marcel waves and curls."

Available in hot pink or chic black, the tongs are perfect for the current trend of retro-looking waves and curls.

Get the look - Karen explains how she achieved the looks from the movie

"We tended to curl the hair first, leaving the artist to get dressed and have their make-up applied. Only then do they have their hair dressed out.

"This gives times for the hair to set and the style time to be firmly established ensuring a longer last than with a quick set. This should also ensure the style doesn't need too much time spent on it from then on - weather conditions permitting."
