Leighton Meester Hairstyles

Though her Gossip Girl character Blair Waldorf wouldn’t be caught dead without her trusty headbands, in real life, Leighton Meester likes to change things up for every occasion. She’ll try anything from long, flowy tresses to rockstar-worth updos to feathered fringe. Loose, chestnut locks and wispy bangs give Leighton Meester a casually sexy look. Distribute a dollop of mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry sections with a round brush while turning the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length. Spritz a two-inch section with styling spray and starting a few inches away from scalp, loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds and then release and repeat, alternating directions until all hair is wavy. Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections. Mist with hairspray for medium hold. Ombré waves give Leighton Meester a beachy, yet chic look. Apply a nickel-size amount of styling lotion onto damp hair and let air dry. Spritz the lower part of a two-inch section with styling spray and loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds to set, release and repeat all over.
