Kristen Bell made waves (pun intended) at this year’s MET Ball in New York City . While the look may appear effortless, it’s anything but.
To complement her form-fitting gown and smoky eye, celebrity stylist Kevin Mancuso created soft, tousled waves for a red-hot, red-carpet look.
Kevin, who has worked with A-list celebs like Sienna Miller, Blake Lively, Naomi Watts and Taylor Swift, offers his tips for recreating Kristen’s style at home:

“She wanted a natural-looking hair style,” said Mancuso “so I created an elegant mixture of uneven and even waves. Combined with the perfect amount of subtle volume, the look was natural yet sultry.”
Best And Worst Of The Met Gallery:
PREP:
·Shampoo and condition hair with body building products to help give hair lift
STYLE:
·Apply a volumizing spray gel, like Nexxus Lavish Body, all over, with a heavier application at the root
·Blow-dry hair while using fingers to massage the scalp at the root to create lift and enhance the natural texture
·Once dry take a large round brush to round out the ends
·Use a curling iron randomly all over to create uneven waves
FINISH:
·Finger though a frizz taming lotion like, Nexxus Sleek Finish, to define and separate waves
·Finish with a light misting of hairspray, like Nexxus Comb Thru for a touchable hold

On last week’s episode of Shear Genius, the stylists were challenged to restyle eight Bridesmaid’s hairdos at a traditional Indian wedding, from the ceremony to reception. The result was the ultimate style transformation, which proves that sometimes, a hairdo change mid-party can be just as dramatic as a full wardrobe change.

-Take down updo by removing bobbi pins and accessories, then gently comb through hair with fingers to help detangle.
-Sweep hair to one side and use bobbi pins to secure in place.
-Us a large barrel curling iron to create random curls throughout loose sections of hair.
-Finish the look with a misting of strong-hold hairspray, like Nexxus Maxximum, to keep the style looking gorgeous.
