Reader Request Week: How To: Inspired by Jessica Chastain's Oscar Hair

Today on Reader Request Week, we're featuring an inspired celeb hairstyle. It's so pretty and a fave of mine. The lovely Jenny at Spry on the Wall requested this beautiful hairstyle, worn by Jessica Chastain at the Oscars.

It's a classic, easy-to-achieve look. Let's get started:

T O O L S:

• 2 inch curling iron
• bobby pins
• teasing comb/brush
• hair spray
• heat protectant
• styling paste 

M E T H O D:

• Spray heat protectant on dry/damp hair and allow to dry.

• Begin wrapping 1 in sections around the barrel and hold for 10 seconds.

• Once curls have cooled, put your thumbs right above both ears and scoop up hair.

• Using a teasing comb/brush, tease that section.
• Separate pieces in the front, around the face.

• Take a piece from the teased section and wrap it around the rest of the teased section, like in the photo. It's similar to a mini-French twist.

• Pin it all back with bobby pins. I used 3.
• Rub some styling paste in your hands and run it through curls--I would pick a few pieces to define them.
• Spray down flyaways and pat down hair with hair spray.
• Use a curling iron to curl the two pieces in the front, away from the face, if needed.

Me, trying to recreate Jessica's pose, but looking like a Glamour Shot instead!
