Can you give our readers a breakdown on how you created it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Calhoun: <\/strong>Our Oscars look was designed to feel glamorous and timeless. I aimed to incorporate the bow detail from her dress into the structural details of the hair, sculpting the bun to mimic the softness of a ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started with damp hair, applying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumbleandbumble.com\/product\/19055\/31247\/style\/pre-stylers\/hairdressers-invisible-oil-heatuv-protective-hair-primer-leave-in-conditioner?srsltid=AfmBOoowx7jvfvtN1K2rfnuNovyTgKKp1zSM4eBo53cYhhZbWpOLNnZ6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser\u2019s Invisible Oil Primer <\/a>from mid-lengths to ends to detangle, hydrate, and reduce frizz. Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/us.tangleteezer.com\/products\/the-ultimate-detangler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler<\/a> brush, I worked the product through while detangling Mikey\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharkclean.com\/page\/hair-straightener-multi-styler?srsltid=AfmBOopxkIRLC4k3fFkrR0MhXQLl5kXjSX5r2XCudg7JSznRL_07Z5W3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Shark Flex Fusion<\/a> to rough-dry the hair, removing excess moisture. Then, with the Wet or Dry Fusion brush attachment, I gave the hair a smooth blowout in 2-inch by 2-inch sections. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharkclean.com\/products\/wet-or-dry-fusion-brush-shark-flexfusion-zidXSKHD6RBHR?srsltid=AfmBOoocC2gCIp1HlubVqH_3pvroczJzFBnAdW8p4_NmCNP77uGrl3Hw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wet or Dry Fusion Brush<\/a> combines a round brush and blow dryer, making the process effortless. Once dry, I applied Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser\u2019s Invisible Oil to the ends for a polished finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add texture and control in prep for sculpting the updo, I sprayed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumbleandbumble.com\/product\/19061\/126838\/style\/texture-sprays\/thickening-dryspun-texture-spray?srsltid=AfmBOoqafkH1eZvFLzbuYdxT2jYvzvtedqM0UEOKhbhvk9csH63T0opS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bumble and Bumble Thicken Dryspun Texture Spray<\/a> throughout the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the final steps, I refined the part with a tail comb, then twisted the hair into a ribboning updo, using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumbleandbumble.com\/product\/19063\/212\/style\/hairsprays\/spray-de-mode-flexible-hold-hairspray?srsltid=AfmBOoqWakL3tb79SbdEcebpkFMA3H3pkDOrO84OtSxY1K0to8SoSiXB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode Flexible Hold Spray<\/a> to set each section.
