Rachel Zegler Easily Recreates Old Hollywood Hairstyles at the 2022 Academy Awards

Soooo ...... The Oscars, huh? ...... *nervous chuckle*

The awards ceremony was a bit busier night than perhaps was ideal, but we were still able to focus some of our attention on the array of swoon-worthy red carpet looks.

Among the best-dressed list was Rachel Zegler, who was a presenter at the awards ceremony. As you may recall, Zegler was not originally invited to the Academy Awards, even though her film West Side Story, in which she literally starred, was nominated in seven categories on the night. No comment.

Zegler, the queen, joked directly about the event while presenting the awards along with Jacob Elordi. The latter said, "I never thought I would be on this stage," to which Zegler replied, "I never thought I would be here six days ago."

Laughing,

Zegler wore a beautiful cowl neck black dress to the event, but it was her hair style that really stole the show.

The stylist for this hairstyle, Clay Hawkins, showed us how to recreate this hairstyle at home.

"For tonight's Oscars, Rachel wanted a classic yet sophisticated Old Hollywood hairstyle. Her new bob is edgy, yet the perfect length for that level of glamour."

Here are the step-by-steps to achieve this glamorous, edgy look:

"To begin, spray Rachel's damp hair generously with Dove Hair Therapy 7 in 1 Miracle Mist (opens in new tab) to smoothing and adding nutrients, then I untangled her hair.

"Then I untangled her hair with my trusty Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangler (opens in new tab) brush. The secret to healthy hair is to untangle it. This brush smoothes hair, adds shine, and eliminates tangles!

"Next, I took Dove Hair Therapy Brilliant Gloss and Repair Serum (opens in new tab) and applied it to my hair, focusing on the ends before applying heat. This serum adds shine and is perfect for her clean, classic bob."

"Then I blow-dried her hair. Once her hair was completely dry, I created a deep side part, set the Mohawk section with rollers to add volume, and secured it with Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray (open in new tab).

"To create that classic Hollywood flip at the bottom of her bob, I used a 1-inch curling iron to wave the entire bottom hair.

"To finish, I released the rollers, applied just a little more Dove Hair Therapy Brilliant Gloss and Repair Serum, and brushed her hair with Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Styler (a lot lol). It's the ultimate combo for smooth, shiny hair! The brush's patented teeth smooth the hair and keep each strand of hair in place.

"Finally, I used a small comb to neaten her edges and sprayed the entire look with Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray, which keeps hair in shape without making it crunchy. The finished look was classic and beautiful, radiant and smooth."
