Hairstylist Laini Reeves describes the look she created for Emily Blunt: “I decided to create a sleek, classic and simple side bun to echo the ultra-modern lines of Emily’s gown.” Find out the exact how-to and products used below!
Hairstylist Laini Reeves told HollywoodLife.com about the inspiration for Emily’s sleek bun. “For the New York City premiere, I collaborated with Emily and makeup artist Jenn Streicher to come up with Emily’s look. We drew inspiration from the strapless Prada column gown in lipstick red, clashing with the hot pink accessories. From there I decided to create a sleek, classic and simple side bun to echo the ultra-modern lines of Emily’s gown.”
Here’s the exact how-to:
“First, I prepped Emily’s wet hair with René Furterer VEGETAL MOUSSE and gave it a blowout with a soft-bristle round brush to smooth it out and get a sleek finish.
After misting hair with René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY, using a soft-bristle flat brush, I brushed the hair into a low side part, brushing hair over to the right side.
Next, I secured the ponytail with a hair band. I lightly sprayed the hair with René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY for extra hold and used a small amount of René Furterer STYLING WAX to smooth any flyaways. When styling your own look, always make sure everything is perfect before preparing the bun.
To create texture, I lightly back-combed the ponytail, making the hair easier to secure. I then sprayed it again to add more hold.
I twisted the ponytail at the nape of the neck behind the ear into a bun and secured it with bobby pins. To finish, I sprayed the bun one last time with René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY for lasting hold.”
Emily looks amazing in the movie and she looked stunning on the red carpet after giving birth just months ago.
She shared her workout routine with HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY:
“All kinds of stuff, really. It was a bunch of different stuff — yoga, sprinting, weight training, martial arts, I did a lot of that kind of thing and kick boxing.”
For her diet, she told us: “I kind of ate pretty healthy but I was burning so much by working out every day that it wasn’t anything extra. I wasn’t eating kale chips or anything, I was doing alright.”
Will you try Emily’s pretty bun this summer, HollywoodLifers?
