Oscar Blandi's Academy Awards Red Carpet Recap

This is definitely a trend I can support 150%. My hair can actually look siren diva sexy when it's a little messy. It's my obsessive personality that keeps me from leaving the house that way. After checking the looks, and reading Oscar's How To, I think I might give this a shot. 

 The messy up do was a trend on the Academy Awards red carpet last night.

Celebs including Faith Hill, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel McAdams, Penelope Cruz, Zoe Saldana and Kristen Stewart all embraced this look.

To get the look at home, celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi (who created Faith’s look and has worked with Penelope and Jennifer) suggests following these steps:

Step 1: To create this look, the base is critical. Let 70% of the hair air dry and apply Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray ($18, available @ Sephora) from roots to end. Flip the hair upside-down and blow-dry on low mild heat.

Step 2: Secure all the hair at the nape of the neck with an elastic, using your fingers as a comb to separate the hair for a natural pulled back effect. Wrap individual hair sections around the ponytail and secure with hair pins for a undone chignon.

Step 3: Lightly pull out hair around the hairline to create a tussled loose frame around the face.

Step 4: Finish with Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray ($23, available @ Sephora) for shine and a flexible hold.
