What’s the perfect hairstyle counterpoint to Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf and her signature ultra-preppy headbands? Her fellow queen bee Serena van der Woodsen’s loose, hippie-ish waves and tiny braids, of course!
Want this beautifully undone style? Here’s a step by step guide on how to copy Blake Lively’s relaxed and dreamy look, direct from Jennifer Johnson, Gossip Girl’s on-set hairstylist to the show’s stars:
- Spritz Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray onto freshly washed, wet hair.
- Blow-dry hair on the lowest setting using a diffuser attachment.
- Use a two-inch curling iron to create waves throughout the hair. Wrap hair around the curling iron and remove it almost immediately to get this wave instead of a big curl. Curl hair away from the face on the left and right sides of the head.
- Give the look texture with a mix of small braids and twists. Twist and braid small pieces and pin them close to the scalp, hiding pins near the base of the skull and nape. Finish with Bed Head Masterpiece Hair Spray.
