Get Her Look:Leigthon Meester-VMA Style



If you wanna vamp up your look, try Leighton's sexy tousled waves. Here are some step by step tips to attain your celebrity look if you have naturally way hair:
1. Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo (clarifying shampoos can work well too, since they don’t weigh hair down).
2. Use a light, volumizing conditioner — but just on the ends of your hair. Gently work the conditioner through your hair using a wide-tooth detangling comb. If you have any snarls and tangles, make sure to get them out now because you won’t be combing or brushing your hair once you rinse.
3. Rinse well and wrap hair up in a towel. We love the super absorbent ones, since they really help speed up the drying process.
4. Once you unwrap your hair, it is extremely important that you do not comb or brush it out. This is essential to preserve your hair’s natural wave patterns as well as to take full advantage of the texture created by giving your hair some time to dry while wrapped in the towel.
5. Using your fingers, work a small amount of curl enhancing gel or texturizing curl spray all the way from the roots to the tips of your hair, scrunching and twisting random sections of hair as you go.
5. Allow hair to dry naturally, but make sure to periodically scrunch and tousle your hair as it dries.

If you don't have naturally wavy hair follow steps 1. and 2. and then:
3.Get hair completely dry
4.A curling iron works best for fine, straight hair. Separate half-inch pieces and wrap around the curling iron's barrel in a corkscrew fashion. Hold briefly, for less time than if you were going for a very curly look, then release.
5. Let sections cool and gently loosen with your fingers into waves.
6.The secret to a long-lasting tousle is the finishing step when styling it. A holding (not stiff) spray, like Aveda's Air Control Hair Spray, helps hold fine hair's new waves. To create the finishing, piecey look on curly or wavy hair, apply a styling wax or heavyweight balm, like Artec Texture Paste, just to the ends.
