We spoke to session stylist Ben Skervin to find out how created Keira Knightley's Oscars hair, which had a romantic, undone feel.
The inspiration for the look was relaxed romance," said Ben. "We wanted something the opposite of the formal gown she was wearing. I really wanted to keep Keira's cool edge. It was important that her hair did not appear too done, like she could have done it herself."
Here's how to get the look:
1. Prep hair with a smoothing primer and rough-dry with a ghd air hairdryer until nearly dry.
2. Roughly divide the hair into five sections. Twist each one in your hands, before drying until completely dry. This gives the loose texture.
3. Once all the twists are dry, use your fingers to comb them out.
4. Take the ghd curve classic wave wand and work with 4cm sections to create loose curls.
5. Using a soft brush, brush out the hair to give a uniform texture. To finish, use a fine mist of texture spray all over the hair while using the ghd air on a low heat and speed setting. Comb through with your fingers to get the look you want.
6. Add a fine headband to complete the style.
