Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

Clash of the Titans will be released April 2 and is a remake of the original 1981 Greek myth epic about the war between kings and gods. This version is in 3-D and is jam packed with action, visual effects and big stars. Sam Worthington plays the main character of Perseus alongside Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Atertonm, Pete Postelthwaite, and Alexa Davalos.

You may have seen Alexa in such films as The Mist, Chronicles of Riddick or Defiance. She continues her excellent character choices with her role as Andromeda in this particular film. This character is based in classic Greek myth. Due to her mother’s incessant bragging of her daughter’s beauty, evil is unleashed by Poseidon on the kingdom. The violence will not stop until a sacrifice of Andromeda’s virgin flesh is given up to a ferocious sea monster. She is tied to the rocks and left for dead until Sam Worthington’s Perseus comes along.

At the premiere of Clash of the Titans, Alexa has followed the current red carpet trend of slick, 40′s style waves. Her hair is extremely curly and probably took a great deal of work to straighten. If you have hair like hers, here are some tips:

• After shampooing/conditioning, towel dry the hair by scrunching it with a towel.
• Apply a cocktail of Moroccan Oil Styling Cream and Styling Oil to the entire head of hair.
• Blow dry section by section from the nape up with a larger barrel boar bristle brush. If the hair is stubborn and still frizzy or wavy, keep a medium heat flat iron on hand to fix any trouble spots.
• Once complete, take a barrel iron and lightly curl the ends in back in addition to the ends around the facial framing. Using a cushion brush, smooth out the curls into large, soft waves. It helps to lay the mid shaft and ends over your forearm while brushing to create a cohesive bevel.
• Mist all over with Glimmer shine by Moroccan Oil for luminosity and then spray with Extra Hold by Alterna for longevity.

Alexa will bring elegance and strength to this role as she did at the red carpet premiere! With these helpful styling tips, you too can make an entrance into any room or event!
