Blake Lively’s Hairstyle in Three Easy Steps!

Did you guys catch the perennially lovely Blake Lively on SNL this week?  While she didn’t wear much for her opener (did you notice that teeny red dress? It was kinda hard to see), she did sport her signature Gossip Girl hairstyle — Serena van der Woodsen’s hair always looks perfectly unperfect.

Blake’s Gossip Girl hairstylist Jennifer Johnson said getting Serena’s hair is all about mixing up the textures—that’s what gives Lively that sexy, tousled look. Here’s how to snag her hairstyle in three simple steps:

1. Johnson first uses Shu Uemura Depsea Repair Foundation on her long, layered wet hair to help create volume.
2. Next, she blows Blake’s hair dry without a brush so it doesn’t get too straight.
3. To create Serena’s signature bedhead-y look, Johnson uses both a curling iron and a straightening iron, taking random strands throughout the hair and curling some and straightening others. Don’t stress if some parts look more curly or straight than others—after all, it’s that carefree attitude that makes Serena so sexy. And if the idea of having two scorching-hot hair tools in your bathroom freaks you out, try Conair’s Infiniti Multi-Functional Hair Tool, which can either straighten or curl hair.
