Hel-lo, Ms. Richmond! Jessica Lucas, who stars as elementary school teacher Riley Richmond in Melrose Place, vamped up her tresses for a recent photo shoot. A far cry from her character’s good girl image, Lucas' sexy-meets-messy look was the work of Bertrand W., an L.A.-based stylist of Tracey Mattingly Agency. Calling it “gypsy chic,” Bertrand describes how to recreate the style:
- To generate texture and create the windblown fly-aways, prep your hair with David Babaii for Wildaid Bohemian Beach Spray.
- Roll the hair in a small bun at the nape of your neck and let it dry. This will produce the bouncy, loose waves. After the hair is dry, unwrap it.
- To create the all-over teased look, put some René Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo on your hands and rub it into the roots by moving your palm in a circular movement. Do the same thing for the remainder of your head.
- Brush out some of the pieces and leave the rest as messy.
