I cannot tell you how Emily Blunt looks so calm and well-rested five minutes after having a baby, but I can tell you how to copy the timeless, wedding-ready hairstyle she just wore at the NYC Edge of Tomorrow premiere. Here's a step-by-step how-to from Laini Reeves, the stylist who created Emily's chic side bun.
1. First, I prepped Emily’s wet hair with Rene Furterer Vegetal Mousse and gave it a blowout with a soft-bristle round brush to smooth it out and get a sleek finish.
2. After misting hair with Rene Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray, using a soft-bristle flat brush, I brushed the hair into a low side part, brushing hair over to the right side.
3. Next, I secured the ponytail with a hair band. I lightly sprayed the hair with Rene Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray for extra hold and used a small amount of Rene Furterer Styling Wax to smooth any flyaways. When styling your own look, always make sure everything is perfect before preparing the bun.
4. To create texture, I lightly back-combed the ponytail, making the hair easier to secure. I then sprayed it again to add more hold.
5. I twisted the ponytail at the nape of the neck behind the ear into a bun and secured it with bobby pins. To finish, I sprayed the bun one last time with Rene Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray for lasting hold.
