Blake Lively's Hairstyle

How to style your hair like Blake Lively

Statuesque bombshell Blake Lively has became one of Young Hollywood’s most buzzed about fashionistas thanks to a starring role on Gossip Girl. Lucky for you, her fashion sense and her hairstyle are fairly easy to mimic. Get Blake Lively’s hairstyle with these tips or try it on in our virtual hairstyle studio.

To get healthy and shiny hair like Blake Lively, try this inexpensive but effective conditioning treatment you can make at home: Mix ¼ cup each of mayo, egg whites and olive oil and apply the concoction to damp hair. The protein and cholesterol will restore shine to lackluster locks if you leave it in for 30 minutes, massage it into the scalp and the ends, and shampoo and condition as usual.

Blake Lively's look is easy to copy if you have long, straight hair. Towel dry your hair and blow dry haphazardly, using your fingers to tousle and scrunch the ends to play up any natural waves you may already possess. Once your hair is dry, wrap 3-inch sections around a large barrel curling iron (in a vertical, not horizontal, motion), to create loose spirals. Use your fingers to undo some of the curls you've created and  spritz your hands with medium hold hairspray. Run them through your hair for long-term hold that’s not sticky or stiff.

Blake Lively’s style is boho-chic and she often wears braids that capture this free spirit. Instead of wearing a braid down her back, she opts for a few small braids at the front of her hair. Make this Lively hairstyle your own by finger-combing a styling cream into dry hair. Start your braids by grabbing a 1-centimeter section of hair at the root (in the front where bangs grow). Secure with invisible elastics and repeat three to six times, depending on the number of braids you crave.

Experiment with the thickness and placement of the braids just for fun. If you’re feeling fearless, wrap one braid around the crown of your head like a headband. Create your braid from a 1-inch section of hair that starts just above one ear. Braid it from root to tip, and pull it across the top of your head, tucking and pinning it behind the other ear. Leave the rest down or pull it into a ponytail.
