Oscars 2014! Recreate the gorgeous styles

There is nothing we love more than the red carpet! Viewing all the gorgeous looks, and hairstyles are simply amazing. At the Oscars 2014 red carpet there were so many beautiful gowns and stunning hairstyles, so here are a few of our favourites! We love these styles so much that we thought we would share how to recreate these styles at home!

Cate Blanchett:

How divine did Cate Blanchett look on the Oscars red carpet? Glowing in a gorgeous Armani dress with effortless, classic vintage waves – it made her hair the crowning glory of this look!

To recreate these gorgeous waves:

Apply bhave riot control oil to freshly washed hair (Enriched with a thermal protector to limit damage when using heat styling tools).  Separate the hair in sections and starting from the back use tongs or a curling wand to tease the hair into lose curls. Ensure you wrap the hair around the barrel away from the face and the same way for every curl to create a smooth, continuous wave. Complete your red carpet look with a hairspray to hold the style in place!

Jennifer Lawrence:

Always rocking her gorgeous pixie cut! Jennifer Lawrence styled her short crop in a high-volume, windswept style – a soft slicked back look to tie her red carpet look together with her gorgeous Dior gown!

Kate Hudson:

We were all blown away when Kate Hudson stepped onto the red carpet. It seems as though she can do no wrong on the red carpet this season as she debuted a stunning Versace gown, along with her classic, retro side waves! Her hair was a beautiful modern take on a classic 1940’s style!

To recreate this style:

Apply the bhave riot control oil to freshly washed hair in order to seal and protect the hair from moisture and frizz, while also adding heat protection. Add in a strong side part to give a glamourous feel to the look and then using a curling iron, curls the ends of the hair and brush through the curls to create a soft finish. Finish it off by applying the bhavefresh ends to seal the ends and give the hair silky, beautiful shine!

Sandra Bullock:

Sandra Bullock knows exactly what a Hollywood A-lister should wear to the Oscars. She is perfection! She looked so elegant in a navy Alexander McQueen gown, while opting for a waved Old-Hollywood hair style. Her hair was pulled to one side with cascading curls with beautiful shine! Not only did she look perfect, she also portrayed a beautiful timeless look – especially for a red carpet occasion. Sandra’s dark hair colour was intense and eye catching, her glossy locks completed her whole look and her side-swept style was perfect for showcasing her décolletage and dress!

To recreate this look at home:

Start with clean, dry hair. Using heat rollers set the hair in curls with a strong side parting and leave it for as long as possible to allow the hair to set. If you don’t have rollers, use tongs or a curling wand to create curls, and part the hair to one side! Gently brush out all the curls, and smooth out the top to create a sleek look.

 

Margot Robbie:

Margot Robbie certainly knew how to make a statement on the red carpet! Debuted gorgeous brunette locks, styles in a light bouncy curl. This is definitely not a look we have seen on her before – but she looked fabulous! We absolutely love her hair colour change!

Jenna Dewan-Tatum:

Jenna Dewan-Tatum had a complimenting, elegant updo. A soft, romantic look that was so simple yet so beautiful! Jenna looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet, and her hair was perfect!

To recreate this look:

When the hair is wet, apply the bhave riot control oil to protect wet strands from breakage, frizz and fly-aways while protecting against hot tools – then rough try the hair in order to bring out its natural texture.

Curl sections of the hair with a curling wand, and pull down on the hair to soften the wave as each section is dropped. After the hair has cooled down and set, lightly twist the hair just above the ear and pin it back until just before hitting the nape. Take the remaining hair and loosely braid it, wrap it into a low knot/bun and secure it with bobby pins. Finish the look off with a light hold hairspray.

Maria Menounos:

Not only did Maria look stunning, she also dazzled on the red carpet with her gorgeous brunette hair and a classic look that will never go out of fashion! Her hair was absolutely magnificent with a plaited, messy curled updo that looked soft and effortless!

To recreate this look:

Part your hair as you normally would and curl your hair with tongs to create loose tousled waves. Create two messy plaits down the front, on either side of your part and then as you move down take in additional strands of hair and finish the plait at the nape of your neck. Using bobby pins, secure the plaits and create a textured bun. Then to create an “undone” or effortless look, pull a few strands out of the plaits.

We were absolutely loving the styles on the Oscars 2014 red carpet! Who was your best dressed?

Yours in beautiful hair xx
