On the Red Carpet Sunday night, Anna Kendrick was one of the hottest to trot celebs. She’s on everyone’s best-dressed lists – but she’s on our best tressed.  And she did so with a simple yet elegant updo,  designed by stylist Craig Gangi.

Gangi, inspired by the graceful off-the-shoulder look, created an updo highlighting softly waved texture. He first applied argan oil-infused Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to add moisture and give hair a soft hold.
After blow-drying hair straight, Gangi used a medium sized curling iron to create loose, natural waves. He then pulled strands back, leaving just enough hair at the nape of the neck to create a small ponytail, and shaped a loose, undone textured bun.

To add a touch of drama, he went back to weave three small braids with the remaining hair, then again braided the three with each other. Finally he circled the braid around the bun. After pinning the style, he sprayed Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to hold the look in place without stiffness, and misted the final updo with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray for additional boost of red carpet shine.

Isn’t she gorgeous? On camera, and off!
