Glee star Lea Michele is looking much more her age than in the pinned up and prim ensemble she wore at the Globes.
Her sexy, loose curls were the actress’ way of mixing it up, her hair stylist David Gardner said. “She is very conscious of mixing it up,” he said. “She wanted something clean and more casual.”
To get the volume going in Michele’s abundant brown locks, Gardner put a moisturizing mousse through her hair before drying it into what he calls a “big frizz ball.”
He then put curls all the way around her head and brushed them out after she put on her emerald-green Malandrino dress.
The trick, says Gardner, is to use a curling iron barrel that is a half-inch smaller than the actual size you want the curl. “This way, the curl will fall to the size you want within a half an hour and stay that way for the entire night.”
Also, Gardner made sure to make the front of Michele’s hair flat and smooth. “You don’t want too much volume in the hair that surrounds your face or you end up going from young and fresh to straight out of Dallas.”

Broadway star Idina Menzel has started filming her “Glee” episodes.
Lea Michele tweeted Thursday (Jan. 21): “On set with the lovely Idina Menzel:) So happy she is on our show!”
It was announced back in December that Idina Menzel would guest star — a booking all Glee fans had been eagerly anticipating. We were all hoping she’d be cast as Rachel’s biological mom. Instead, Menzel is going to appear as the director of Vocal Adrenaline, the uber-professional rival show choir of Glee’s New Directions.
Menzel is signed on for the entire back nine — that is, the final nine episodes of the first season, so it stands to reason that Vocal Adrenaline and the regional show choir competition are a big part of the latter half of season one.

Glee fans will have to wait until April for for the rest of the first season to air, but they can start looking forward to the summer when the cast of Glee heads out on tour.
The show’s stars have taken to Twitter to dish on the new tour, which is expected to kick-off in June. “A big announcement coming at the end of the month about our next Glee tour! Lots of singing and dancing to come!!!!” said Lea Michele. Cory Monteith tweeted, “There is going to be a live Glee concert tour! in select cities; limited appearances. announcement and details soon. so excited!!!”
Dates and cities have yet to be announced but are expected to be revealed at the end of the month. The cast of Glee went on tour to various malls over the Summer last year, but the new Glee tour is expected to be a full-on concert experience.
“We’re going to do what ‘American Idol’ has done and put the kids on the road,” Murphy said to the New York Post. “It all equals revenue streams for Fox.”
The Glee cast will head out on tour once the first season wraps up. Glee returns to Fox on April 13th.
