Ken didn't make any dramatic hairstyle changes to Courtney and Lynn. "They have enough change on the horizon," he says. He just enhanced their color—blonder highlights to brighten Courtney's long, thick hair, and honey highlights to define Lynn's lush curls. (Ken concentrated the color on the ends so the women wouldn't have to worry about noticeable roots
and night feedings in eight weeks.) Clip-in extensions gave both women extra length that beautifully balances their curvy silhouettes. And with pregnancy glow in full effect, Courtney and Lynn can keep their makeup simple: bright pink blush (blended with a sponge for a sheer wash), smoky gray eyeliner, and shimmery honey lip gloss.
Courtney says: "I'm a working mother of 2.5—but right now I feel like a celebrity."
Lynn says: "I usually try to subdue my curls. This look inspires me to play them up instead."
