Blake Lively proves why she is our celebrity hair crush. Her long blonde hair is part of her signature style, but getting the look yourself doesn't require a celebrity stylist. Here we show you how to recreate three of our favourite looks.
Channel old Hollywood with Polished Curls
Steps:
- Begin by creating a strong side part and sectioning your hair so you can work on one area at a time.
- Grab your curling tongs and start with the section right above your ear. We recommend our Pro Ceramic Dial a heat 38mm Babyliss Curling Tongs to create this look.
- Wrap each section of the hair neatly around the tongs (do not use the tong clip). Tip: Curl hair inwards towards the direction of your face, and hold for about 20 seconds.
- Continue this pattern with each tress of hair taking your time.
- Once the curls are in place seal with a flexible hold hairspray and let them set.
- Finally before you leave, using a fine comb gently brush through the hair. (This will leave you with soft, polished curls).
The Textured Summer Fishtail
Steps:
- Start off by gathering your hair into a neat bun. Tip: Applying hairspray to the front of your hair will help control any flyaway strands.
- Next, using one of the Braided Extensions, pull open the fishtail braid and clip over your bun, pulling the drawstring tight and securing the clips.
- Ensure your own hair is pinned firmly inside the base of the braid.
- Secure the plait in place with extra grips and ensure your own hair is hidden.
The Messy Mermaid
Steps:
- Begin adding a texturising spray. We recommend our Sexy Hair Big Flip It Over Texture Spray Full and Wild.
- To apply, flip your head over and spray the product into dry hair.
- Squeeze and scrunch the hair, then throw your head back over for that full and wild look.
- Take a curling iron and loosely curl random pieces of hair.
- Clip the hair to one side and divide the bottom half into three different size sections for the braids. Then begin to plait the sections. Tip: You can do a mixture of fishtail braids and normal plaits to create different textures.
- Break up the braids with your fingers pulling out random pieces to create a messy appearance. Pulling out a few layers around the face will also add to the textured effect.
- Finally, add a hair accessory of your choice to the base of the braids behind the ear to finish the look off.
