If you’re like me, and a huge fan of the movies Pearl Harbor and Underworld, you probably noticed Kate Beckinsale’s hairstyle. The British actress who has been recently voted as 2009’s Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine has long been a style icon but never got the attention she deserved.
Though she is an extremely talented person, I really like her hairstyles and I am guessing some of you like them too. So I have decided to create a guide to get Kate Beckinsale’s hairstyle. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to get and how easy it is to maintain.
Kate Beckinsale’s hair is long, straight and a warm, medium brown. To get her famous curly look, follow these 3 steps:
1. Washing Hair
It’s very important to clean your hair and therefore start by using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Once you are out of the shower, be careful to towel-dry your locks gently; do not rub vigorously because you will roughen the cuticle, making for frizzy and dull strands.
2. Drying Hair
To hold your hairstyle, use a curl enhancing cream through your hair. This will make it softer and also look neat. If you have curly strands, you can try to diffuse your hair with a blow dryer and dry until your locks are 75% dry.
3. Curling Hair
After your hair is completely dry, you can curl 1” sections of your hair with a good quality curling iron. You can then gently pull back all your hair behind your ears to dress the style up a bit. Using a hair-band to secure your hair is also one alternative worth trying.
And finally, to keep the frizz at bay, you can use a hairspray or serum in the front to achieve that perfect Kate Beckinsale’s Hairstyle.
This is a fairly simple hair style to recreate; and does not require you to visit any professional salon or use specialized hairdressing shears. The style is simple, yet elegant and I think it was Kate Beckinsale’s hairstyle that got her the title of 2009’s Sexiest Woman Alive.
