David Babaii for Living Proof Full styles Kate Hudson’s hair for the 2010 MET Costume Institute Gala. The Hairstyle & Inspiration: A day spent sun-bathing in San Tropez, elegant but a little flirty, not too coiffed to match her chic Stella McCarthy dress.

How to get the look: Hair Tutorial

First, David Babaii used Living Proof Full to give Kate Hudson’s fine, limp blonde hair a thicker feel. He rubbed the product between his fingers to activate the ingredients and applied from the product root to shaft. He rough dried the entire head to add additional volume.

He created a side part, and braided along the crest of her head, he then pulled all the hair back into a low bun at the nape of the neck, creating a sexy, cool up-do. Babaii said, “Usually I am afraid to braid Kate’s hair because it is so fine, but Living Proof Full added the dimension and depth I needed to create this fabulous red carpet look.”
