Jessica's Heavenly Hair How-Tos

DARK ANGEL won as Favorite New Television Drama at last year's People's Choice Awards, and there's no doubt that star Jessica Alba -who plays the genetically-engineered Max - has a lot to do with the show's success. Her out-of-this-world thick mane has natural wave that she usually pumps up in soft, supercurly looks on the show. But when she steps out on the town, Jess likes to take it straight by styling hair with a mix of gel and straightening balm. After blowing it out with a flat-backed brush, bending ends slightly outward, she uses a flat iron to make hair go bone-straight. A mist of silicone spray adds a high gloss finish, while a bit of hair wax helps her counteract humidity-induced frizzies.
