On October 4th, an absolutely glowing and proud first-time mother-to-be, Kimberly Wyatt, stepped out dressed from turtleneck to toe in a powerful monochromatic look for the 2014 Big Gig in London. Kimberly's raven-colored turtleneck and coat certainly provided a terrific canvas to present her exquisitely polished platinum blonde hair to the world.

This longer hairstyle for Kimberly could very well be attributed to an increase in hormones during pregnancy. Normally, hair grows in three phases: active growth, resting, and shedding. On average, people typically shed 100 hairs every day.

During pregnancy, the extra hormones (particularly estrogen) coursing through your body shift your hair cycle and prolong the active growth phase, allowing the hair to flourish and remain on your head without shedding.

Kimberly's hairstyle can be achieved by first applying a light thermal protectant, focusing primarily on the ends of the hair. Next, the hair is blow-dried straight with an ionic blow dryer and a large paddle brush. Once dry, the cooling button on the blow dryer is utilized to seal the hair cuticle, which helps ward off frizz and adds extra shine to the hair.

Kimberly's hair is then carefully curled away from her face, starting at the cheekbones and continuing down to the ends. This technique beautifully accents Kimberly's cheekbones. Finally, a light hairspray is applied a nd concentrated on the curls to finish off Kimberly's stunning hairstyle.
