Blake Lively’s Date Night Hair Comes With a ‘Gossip Girl’ Reference
“Fast glam for the mamas and rushed girlies,” Lively concludes, showing her loose but uniform undulating waves that she sweeps to the side for added drama and dimension. She paired the glam with an inky blue velvet corset and a burgundy stone and beaded necklace.
Later, Lively posted a photo to her Instagram Stories showing her look in action alongside her husband Ryan Reynolds: “Puttin’ my night out hair to good use,” she captioned it, adding beneath: “I spy the Empire Hotel [if you know, you know].” Well, we do know: The Empire Hotel was a regular filming location for Gossip Girl.
When Lively first launched Blake Brown, she told Vogue some more of her haircare secrets: namely, that she skips the conditioner. Her haircare system, rather, uses two sets of shampoo and hair masks: one set dedicated to hydration, and one dedicated to strengthening because “your hair needs two things, strength and moisture,” as she explained. From there, shampoo (sometimes twice if you have a lot of product in your hair), smooth in a mask for at least 30 seconds, and rinse. Next time you’re in the shower, swap the duo for the other set. Lively claims the sans conditioner, mask only routine has done wonders for her hair strength and elasticity. It looks like it works, anyway: from fairy princess hair for the Met Gala to glossy, nostalgic victory rolls.
Blake Lively or not, soft and flowing curls are a solid date night option: set with a good mousse and hairspray for lasting hold and shine, they’ll see you through drinks, dinner—and the rest.
