Get Rachel Bilson's Casual-Cool Half-Do
Rachel Bilson has a knack for making everything look just that much cooler. Known for signature casual-chic style sense, the same aesthetic rings true for Rachel's hairstyle choices. At a recent trip to the Sirius studios in NYC, for instance, Rachel opted for an effortless half-do that was equal parts laid-back and equal parts flirty.
- To get the look, celebrity hairstylist Jamal Hammadi, who has worked with stars such as Rooney Mara and Jennifer Lawrence, started by prepping Rachel's hair with Hamadi Shea Spray.
- After blowing her strands dry, he used a one-inch barrel curling iron on the ends.
- He then pulled a section of hair from the ears to the back of Rachel's head. The top portion was left out, but teased and sprayed with Batiste Dry Shampoo ($9.99) before being brushed and secured at the back.
- To finish, he spritzed her hair with L'Oréal Elnett Hair Spray ($9.99) to seal the style. "The result was this sexy casual look," said Hammadi.

Voilà!
