2018 Critics' Choice Awards: Modern Hollywood Blowout

Some are calling Jessica Biel's 2018 Critics' Choice Awards hair style a "Futuristic Jessica Rabbit” blowout; we're calling it red carpet perfection!

Adir Abergel, the king of show stopping red carpet 'dos, created this voluminous blowout to counterbalance the contemporary feel of Jessica’s gown — ”[Jessica’s hair] had one big magic wave with a smooth finish toward the bottom," he told E! News. "It was modern version of a classic style.”

This is definitely a look we can imagine wearing for a special date night or occasion, so we collected the steps from Adir so we can try to get the look at home!

Follow the steps below and let us know how it goes for you!

• • First, you want to prep hair for a voluminous style with Virtue Full Shampoo and Conditioner. This formula is light weight and enhances volume. 

• • On damp, towel dried hair, apply Virtue Uplifted Volumizing Whip to the roots. This product adds density to your strands so they’re plump and lifted — unlike your traditional crunchy mousse.

• • Apply Virtue’s One for All 6-in-1 Styler from mid-lengths through the ends of your hair. This will add lift, shine, and memory.

• • To find the most flattering deep side part Adir recommends lining the part with the highest arch of your brow. 

• • Next you’ll want to blow dry in sections with a round brush, lifting at the root to create memory and volume.

• • Once hair is completely dry, backcomb the roots and set with Virtue Finale Shaping Spray for height at the crown. 

• • Tuck the shallow side of the part behind your ear and complete the look with Virtue Perfect Ending Split End Serum on your ends for long lasting shine that won’t weigh down your curl.
