How-to | Hailee Steinfeld @ 2017 Met Gala

Hair inspiration from celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell
He was inspired by Hailee’s structured Vera Wang gown and this year’s exhibition to create a slick, high shine, sculptural top knot.

How-to

Start with wet hair and apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Clearly Defined Styling Gel straight to the root, using a tail comb to section the hair and applying the gel every 2 inches to keep the roots as smooth as possible. Then, work the gel through the lengths and ends of the hair.

Next, use a wire brush to pull the hair up to the top of the crown. Using a comb, smooth out any bumps and flyaways before tying the hair with a bungee hair tie.

Brush out the tail of the pony and begin to twist it into the desired knot shape. Once the shape is achieved, pin it down as discretely as possible using bobby pins.

Then, using a blow-dryer with diffuser, dry the hair in a circular motion and create the high gloss finish by applying two pumps of John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum – working from the front of the hair to the knot.

Finally, spray John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray to lock in the style.
