Fran Drescher stunned the SAG Awards red carpet tonight. Known as the “flashy girl from Flushing,” the SAG president shone in a fitted, rose-gold suit. Her long-time stylist, Jon Lieckfelt, shared the secrets behind her iconic, voluminous blowout. This guide breaks down every step for fans of Fran’s glamorous look.
“For Fran’s SAG Awards style, I chose Sitting Pretty Halo Hair extensions in color number 2,” Lieckfelt shares. “We aimed for a relatable yet aspirational vibe and avoided over-styling completely.”
Step 1: Hair Prep Basics
The team started with clean, dry hair and evenly applied a heat protectant. Lieckfelt used a round brush to blow-dry the hair, focusing on smoothness and volume while adding extra lift at the roots.
Step 2: Sectioning and First Halo
Lieckfelt carefully sectioned the hair, creating a horizontal part at the crown. He clipped up the top portion, leaving the lower section free. They applied the First Halo (Medium Brown 2/4 – Darker Shade) next. The team positioned the Sitting Pretty Halo around the head’s widest part. The team secured the back with Velcro clips.
Step 3: Blending and Second Halo
Lieckfelt explains that they blended natural hair over the wire.They gently combed through the hair for seamless integration. They stacked the Second Halo (Medium Brown – Lighter Shade) on top. A thin layer of natural hair covered the first Halo, while careful adjustments perfected the layering and positioning.
Step 4: Styling the Blowout
Lieckfelt styled a voluminous blowout vibe. The stylist brushed the Sitting Pretty Teasing Comb strategically. A 1.25-inch curling iron was used for soft waves. Hot rollers were considered as an option. He adds, “I lightly brushed the curls with a wide-tooth comb.” A polished yet effortless finish was achieved.
Pro Tip for Glam
Lieckfelt advises curling the hair away from the face for a glamorous look. The stylist used a wide-tooth comb to soften the curls, creating a stunning effect effortlessly.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
The stylist spritzed a light mist of texture spray for movement. Hold was added subtly. A lightweight serum smoothed fly-a ways. The stylist applied shine spray for gloss. He tucked one side slightly behind the ear. The style elegantly framed the face. The style beautifully enhanced volume, length, and fullness.
Lieckfelt described Fran’s look as sophisticated yet natural. Fans can recreate this red-carpet magic at home. Many praised the Sitting Pretty Halo extensions as the game-changer.
