“Emma has a very strong natural part slightly to one side. Part of a successful hairdo is listening to your hair’s natural direction –if you work against your hair, your hairdo will become a don’t,” says celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist, Andrea Claire.
1. Using a volumizing product and a leave-in conditioner, blow out your hair using a medium-sized round brush, over-directing the roots to create a little lift. When blow drying the mid-lengths to ends, flip the hair back to the side that it will fall to. Aim the nozzle down the hair shaft to help the cuticle lay flat with minimal flyaways.
2. When creating this French-braided updo like Emma’s shorter hair at The Bling Ring premiere, start braiding three inches from the roots so you don’t see the braid in the front, holding the hair sections out away from the scalp. Braiding against the scalp will make the style look tighter and sleek.
3. On the part side, start the braid halfway between the ear and the part, French-braiding if possible, following the shape of your head.
4. On the opposite side, start the braid from the top and slightly back. This will add a little height and the structure that appears at the front of Emma’s look.
TIP: If French braiding is beyond your capability, create a bunch of random braids and weave them in and out of each other before pinning them in place.
