Met Ball 2014: Rachel McAdams

The Look: Young, Fresh and Polished

Ben and Rachel went for a modern yet effortless take on a 40’s and 50’s style to complement Rachel’s Ralph Lauren floor length gown. Rachel’s hair look is young, fresh and polished with a nod to the Charles James era.

Here’s how Ben created Rachel’s look:

1. First prep damp hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse, applying it throughout the hair for weightless bounce and a light hold. Then blow dry the hair while brushing it out with a round comb.

2. Separate the hair into six sections, with four sections in the back and one section on each side of the head. Proceed to set each section on a large heated roller, while spritzing each section with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray. Leave the rollers in for about 10-15 minutes.

3. Once the rollers have cooled down, brush each section out with a round comb.

4. To finish, spray Vidal Sassoon Pro Series ColorFinity Dry Shampoo in Rich Darks liberally on the roots and the ends of the hair to help break up the texture and give it a bed-head, yet glamorous feel.
