It's time to chill out—on hair that is.
This awards season, we have been seeing a lot of relaxed textured bobs, loose waves and laid-back locks. What's so great about this is how easy it is to achieve celebrity-inspired styles for us divas-in-training.
To help you nab a seriously simple look straight from the red carpet, we've asked our pals at Pantene and YouTube vlogger and hairdresser Silvia Reis, AKA Ellebangs, to show us how to do a bohemian-updo look.
"A lot of times when I wear this style, girls will come up to me on the street and say, ‘I want that hair,'" revealed Reis. "What I think they don't realize is how easy it is to attain this at home with very little effort."
Silvia began by using a styling balm on her hair.
"I like to add a beauty balm that just adds shine," noted Silvia. "It moisturizes and protects your hair from your heat styling tool. A cream I've been loving is this Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 BB Crème Beauty Balm. It really is just a perfect base for any style that you're trying to create."
Next, she grabbed a dry shampoo to add lift and help hold style.
After the prep, it was time to let the curling begin! Throwing in some curls to an updo will help you get some wave and texture to your style. Our girl used a curling iron but forwent the clamp.
"We don't want a very tight wave, so we're just going to be wrapping the hair around the barrel," instructed the hair guru.
Next, the YouTuber sectioned off the hair into fours. She parted the back vertically and then horizontally to create top and bottom sections.
Here's where the look really started to take shape. The hairdresser loosely pulled the top sections back and wrapped them around into loose buns before pinning them into place. She did the same with the bottom sections. Voilà—red carpet hair!
"In just 10 easy minutes, you can be red carpet ready for any special occasion in your life," assured Silvia.
From the amazing results we saw, we truly have to agree.
