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!

ReplyDeleteSo gorrrrrrgeous. Absolutely love this; you nailed the look!
ReplyDeleteSimilar to how I'm planning on wearing my hair at my wedding reception- a bit more beachy texture (if left to it's own wavy devices, with a little coaxing from product) to my style, though.
