Zoe Saldana's Bohemian Bedhead

Zoe Saldana’s look has ranged from sleek sophistication to glamour girl to relaxed, beachy casual, and nothing sums up the look quite like a head full of sexy waves like the one she’s sporting in this photo. The style is a little bit boho, a little bit bedhead, and totally easy to duplicate on your own hair! All you need is hair that is at least shoulder-length, a good texturizing product and a 2 inch curling iron.

Start by drying your hair completely; using heat styling tools on hair that is still wet could lead to serious damage to the sensitive hair shaft, and that could mean frizziness or even breakage. Next, work a texturizing product - like a spray or cream - into your hair to give it some body and help it hold the wave better. Divide your hair into manageable sections and wrap each section around the barrel of your 2 inch curling iron. It’s not necessary to actually clamp down on each section; many stylists prefer to simply wrap the hair around the barrel by hand and then let the pieces fall where they may. After you’ve covered your entire head, rake your fingers through your loose curls to turn them into sexy, devil-may-care waves like Zoe’s. If you need some extra hold, you can finish with a lightweight hairspray.

Finger part your hair down the middle for a sophisticated take on “hippie hair,” or add a pretty clip or feathered accessory for visual interest. This look is perfect for a casual date!
