Get Octavia Spencer’s sleek and chic top knot from the 2013 Oscars with tips from her hair stylist, Jill Crosby and T3.
“Octavia is wearing a Tadashi Shoji dress with beautiful tulle, which (to me) resembled a ballerina. I wanted her look to be youthful and soft to complement the dress. I added the bangs to soften the look, along with a ventilated hairpiece that was color-blended to match her hair.”
“Octavia was freaking out; she loved it!” —Jill Crosby
Jill’s steps to achieve this look:
Smooth: Start by smoothing the hair with the T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i Dryer and AntriGravity Barrel Brush, then set the hair in T3 Voluminous Hot Rollers.
Curl: Once the hair is smoothed, put it up into a high ponytail and curl it with T3 SinglePass Twirl Curling Iron.
Extend: Add a full, pre-curled hair extension piece to the ponytail. To prepare extensions, take large sections of hair and wrap them around the barrel of the curling iron in a corkscrew style to create big, loose waves.
Finish: Once the hairpiece is pinned in, work the ponytail into a wavy chignon—use a 2.5-inch straight pin to pin it back. Don’t be too gentle when making the chignon. Don’t try to make it too perfect, or it’ll go ‘prom-ish.’ Let there be some natural texture to it.
Our top three favorites from today were each unique in their own way. At the Kimberly Ovitz show, Aveda created an avant-garde rendition of the 1920s finger-wave. We loved watching the stylist, Antoinette Beenders, make this artistic look happen by wrapping hair in thin, black string–a technique she referred to as “corseting the hair.” It was like the hair had a protective armor.
Later at Tadashi Shoji, we were enamored by a textured roll that was twisted and overlapped around the back of the head in intertwined pieces. Inspiration was taken from girls running through a forest. The strong shape of the style–paired with the matte texture of the hair–created a look that was all at once wearable and unique.
Last, we lusted over the sleek, polished ponytail at Sachin & Babi. The pony sat high on the head and swung down the models’ backs when they turned their heads. Time to grow your pony out, ladies.
Common theme? None! We loved the diversity of the different looks, and we wanted to borrow all the hair styling products we saw to try out each one!
