At the UK premiere of her latest film "
Morning Glory," actress
Rachel McAdams donned vamped up, voluminous locks.
That gorgeously disheveled,
Brigitte Bardot-esque hair was perfected by
Sebastian Professional stylist
Thomas Dunkin, who revealed how he whipped her stands into lust-worthy shape.
Read on below for Dunkin's step-by-step instructions on how to amp up your strands like
McAdams.
- Apply
Sebastian Professional Potion 9 Light on dry hair and
blow-dry each section with a very large round brush.
- Use
heated rollers to set each section as you go. To help achieve maximum root lift, start each roller at the root of the hair and wrap around the ends last. Once the rollers have cooled, remove and turn head upside down to shake out the sections.
- Spritz with
Sebastian Professional Shaper Zero Gravity and gently backcomb the entire head to add in volume.
- Use a medium-sized curling iron to curl random sections throughout. Part hair directly down the center, bending face-framing pieces away from the face to give for a naturally
soft, but sexy, effect.

Hair Basics: Hot Roller How-to
Hot rollers are easy. Learn how to use them!
Sebastian Mlynarski
These aren't your mother's hot rollers. Today's hot rollers are made for styling your hair quickly and without a blow dryer. They may seem complicated, but hot rollers can actually help save you time when you want to create a refreshed, voluminous style in a jiffy.
Sebastian Mlynarski
Heat hot rollers. Once rollers are sufficiently hot, take sections of the hair that match the hot roller in width.To add volume, roll hair around the hot roller from the base of the hair. To add curl, which hair stylist Danielle Caputo is doing here, start at the very end of the section of hair and roll downward.

Hold the roller in place by fastening the hair with a hot roller clip.

The top of the hair will be sectioned into four rollers total. Grab equal sections of hair and roll them back, fastening each with a clip.
Sebastian Mlynarski
Use smaller rollers on the sides of the head, and roll large sections of hair into three rollers on each side.

To better hold the curls, spray hair with hair spray before rolling the hair into the hot rollers.

Wait about fifteen minutes for the hot rollers to cool down. Gently remove the curlers by unwinding the hair from them and placing the curl on your head so it stays in tact.

Tease hair at the crown for added volume, then spray hair with hair spray to hold the style.

Thanks to hot rollers, now you're got a pretty, polished look - no blow dryer required.
