Cate Blanchett's Stylist Tells How To Get Her Red Carpet Locks - Stylehive

Even though she was robbed of (I mean didn€™t win) an award, Cate Blanchett looked flawless at the Screen Actor€™s Guild Awards. Cate wore her hair in soft, loose waves, which infused her classic, old-school Hollywood beauty with a more laid back, playful vibe - perfect for the ecstatic mother-to-be. As soon as Cate slipped into the stunning Balenciaga gown she and her fashion and beauty team decided a simple hairstyle that wouldn€™t overpower the intricate dress was the way to go.

Enter Matrix celebrity stylist Marc Townsend, Cate€™s go-to hair guru for almost four years. Fortunately Marc is sharing the love, and dishing on exactly how he created Cate€™s goddess-like locks!

Step 1:
Marc applied Biolage Hydro- Foaming Styler throughout Cate€™s damp locks to add a little more texture, and then blow-dried her hair using a round brush.
Step 2:
Once the hair was dry, Marc used a one inch HAI Elite Curling Iron, taking random 1-3 inch sections of hair and wrapping them around the iron.
Insider tip: According to Marc, the secret to getting perfect curls and waves is to never actually open the iron- just wrap the hair around it while it€™s still closed.

Step 3:
Mark then lathered his palms with Biolage Smoothth̩rapie Smoothing Serum and raked it through Cate۪s hair to loosen the curls into soft, flowing waves.

Step 4:
To finish, Mark used Biolage Complete Control Hairspray to softly set the look and keep it intact throughout the night.

I am definitely doing at lesat one night during New York Fashion Week. Thanks Marc!
