My name is Jacqueline Bush and I'm an editorial in celebrity hairstyles. My clientele has included Faith Hill, Mark Ruffalo, Terrance Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jane Krakowski. I want to be able to show you that hair isn't as intimidating or as hard as you think it is and I want you be able to have fun with it and do what your vision is with your hair So that constant question I hear, how do french women achieve that look of just looking effortlessly chic and put together. What it lies in - the french art, all about foundation and technique, and that goes across the board from food to hair cutting to style. Its about having the right elements fit together. If you have the right fundamentals, then everything becomes easy. If you have a really great cut you shouldn't have to spend a lot of time styling. Its about learning what works with your hair and accepting that. If you have curly hair, if you're trying to straighten it everyday its never going to look effortless. Its always going to look done. If you have curly hair and you instead invest in a cut that you really love, that you can get out of bed and spend 3 minutes on, which is what I spend on my own hair - you don't have to do much and you can still have that look without having to do much and it comes across that way. Its like anything else, if your body type is one way don't try to dress for another body type. You have to accept what you have and work with that. You spend on the fundamentals and the foundation and you too can have that effortless look.
