Suave Professionals celebrity stylist Jenny Cho created Steinfeld's gorgeous updo.
"I was so inspired by her pale pink Marchesa dress and the dripping beads," says Cho. "I wanted to create a hairstyle that was a cross between Audrey Hepburn and a ballerina. Pulling Hailee's hair up really showed off her neck, and having the hair show from the front gave the illusion of elongating her like a ballerina. The headband made the look young and age appropriate."
Cho offers some tips on how to achieve the look on your own. She suggests layering Suave Professionals Heat Protection Spray and Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream on damp hair, then blowing it dry with a Mason Pearson brush to smooth hair and fight frizz and flyways.
Next, pull hair into a high ponytail and split the ponytail into two. Spray Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Lightweight Hold hairspray on the two sections, tying them into a knot as if you're making a bow. Keep knotting until you run out of hair.
Secure the look in place with bobby pins and U-shape pins. Take a toothbrush and mist it with hairspray to brush back flyaways to polish the look. Spritz all over with hairspray and Suave Professionals Vibrant Shine Spray to complete the style.
