You've learned how he creates a gorgeous tousled up 'do and you've likely admired his other work from afar (Rachel Zoe's beachy waves and Jessica Alba's pretty Golden Globes makeup). Most recently, celebrity stylist Joey Maalouf has signed on as a beauty advisor for Slim Fast's Studio Wow! campaign, which he explains is a way to help people be at their most confident for a big event. "You know, there's no one big step that does it; it's a lot of little steps," Joey says. "First the tricks of dieting, then you start to think about your external look: styling, hair and makeup. I love making people feel like they can just do it at home — and they can," Joey adds. Find out his secret to getting your curls to stay fresh and bouncy when you read more.

Twitter user makeupheathera asked: "What do you recommend on how to keep fresh curls (from a curling iron) bouncy throughout the day? I feel like they always fall flat!"

Joey Maalouf: Usually that happens when you overproduct the hair; a lot of people feel like their hair doesn't do anything, so they over-compensate by applying more products. When you want your hair to stay voluminous all day, though, start with wet hair and put extra-hold mousse in it. Brush your fingers through it with a hairdryer. So when you curl it, you'll already have that stiffness built into your hair. You can then just brush out the curls and it will explode until it gets huge. After that, I would just apply hairspray, but I wouldn't go farther than the mousse and the hairspray. You definitely will have major waves.
