To kick things off, Parker brought out her longtime friend and hair dresser extraordinaire, “the inspired and the inspiring, the one and only, Serge Normant,” telling an embarrassing story about how when they first met he had hurt his back and was in so much pain he couldn’t make it through the blow-dry without repeatedly throwing up into a bucket. He quipped, “I think it was the longest blow-dry I had to do.”
But thankfully, we don’t all need a stylist to the stars to get SJP’s easy, breezy waves. As the actress demonstrated, all it takes is a little hairspray, a flip of the head, and a whole lot of zhuzhing and you’ve got a hairstyle. She confessed, “I cannot do anything, but a ponytail and a bun. I can’t blow my hair out, but even I can do it. Civilians can do it.”

I wash my hair with Serge Normant products that is the dead truth. I use his ‘must haves’ it’s called Meta Silk in the black bottle with the conditioner. Then, I go to bed with a wet head and let the chips fall where they may. When my hair has been beaten up because I’m working, I use the Meta Morphosis Serge Normant, it’s a miracle in a tub. That’s what I find for me that really saved my hair. And if your hair doesn’t look good when you wake up in the morning I don’t know what to tell you. I’m sorry about that. Wet it and put it in a bun, just put it in a bun.”
But as for what we all really came here for, Parker broke down her style M.O., which, surprisingly enough, probably doesn’t include as much shopping as you would think. “I’m actually not a huge shopper,” she confesses, “I mean I have more shoes now because I have a shoe collection, but even that I’m very thoughtful about. What do I really need? What can I borrow? What can I not live without? I’ve never, ever, ever, taken anything. In the case [ofSATC], if we owned it then I owned it and it’s in an archive, but if it was borrowed from a designer, or belonged to someone else, it always went back. Even when I borrow something for an important event, I always give everything back because I feel as if it’s an honor system. It’s like the library. You return the bag, you loved wearing it, you had custody over it for the night, and allow someone else the opportunity.”
Long story short, SJP is every bit the down-to-earth, effortless, cool girl you always imagined her to be. But for some reason we’ve got a sneaking suspicion when we go to bed tonight with our hair wet we’re probably not going to wake up with a head full of Carrie’s perfectly tousled waves.
