Christina Aguilera made an in-store appearance to promote her Back to Basics: Live and Down Under DVD. Her locks were blow-dried outwards (with a bit of flair) to show-off sliced layers through the back and sides. Christina demonstrates how this style is best suited for those with longer, narrower face shapes. Sure, it's a more relaxed style, but maybe the event called for just a little more effort.Gender: Women
