• Description: “Serena is perfect without even trying,” Johnson says. “She’s simple yet glamorous.” To create her beachy texture — perfect for her new Los Angeles lifestyle — Johnson preps hair with Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray and rough dries it with her hands or with a diffuser. She then applies Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray to the roots for volume and lift and pulls hair into a bun before sending Lively off to makeup. After Lively returns to the styling chair, Johnson lets out the bun and uses a curling iron to add extra wave where needed. She finishes the look by pulling the hair back into a messy ponytail and teasing the back a bit. “This style is really simple for anyone with long hair,” Johnson says. “Women with shorter hair can achieve the same effect using several small buns to create wave.”
