He was the lead hair stylist on Sex and the City 2, he made Anne Hathaway fabulous on film, and now he's GoLocalProv's weekly style expert. Frank Barbosa, the Newport-based celebrity stylist, brings red carpet perspective to hair, makeup, and overall style.
When washing and conditioning, we need to think of it as the foundation to great, beautiful hair. Think of some of the most beautiful tresses in the world - European, Indian, Japanese, Brazilian - all healthy, long, full and shiny, thick hair. It can be yours with a few simple rules that will keep you from over-washing and stripping your natural oils from your hair.
1. Shampoo twice a week.
Yep, girls, that's it. If possible, in between shampoos you can wet hair and leave a leave a conditioner in. My favorite is Klorane papyrus milk. You can pick up at Sephora at Providence Place or Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup in Newport.

In between those washes, they add body to hair as well as a clean scent. My favorites are Rene Furterer, Klorane, and Ojon; all amazing products and once used you will wonder how you got by without these hair gems. Dry shampoos especially work on oily scalps for those who think they must wash every day due to greasy hair.
3. Treat curls right.
For curl-girls, low sulfate shampoos are best to keep your cuticle tight and avoid frizz and dryness. Deva Curl is specially made for curls - I recommend it. Also: after washing, squeeze out access water with a paper towel and let dry naturally. Then run fingers through root area as not to disturb ends of hair.
Try this for a month, and join in the toast: Here's to your new-found healthy hair!
From Sex and the City 2 to Rachel Getting Married, from The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bride Wars, Frank Barbosa has styled some of the biggest celebrities in film, TV, and theater. He's just finished styling on location alongside film stylist Alan D'Angerio on the film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, starring Jennifer Garner. He's been in the industry for 17 years, moving from hip neighborhoods in Chicago, to Boston's Newbury St, to Bellevue Avenue in Newport. He maintains that his real passion, though, is being behind a salon chair at Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup in Newport.
