How to Look as Edgy-Glam as Keira Knightley IRL

What also made Keira's look seem so effortless was the texture in her hair. To give her strands some grit, Skervin prepped them with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse ($4) (for volume) and Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect & Shine ($4) (to add luminosity). He blow-dried it with a large brush, curling the ends under.

Then, it was curling iron time. Using a large barrel, he wrapped two-inch sections in a spiral down the rod, leaving the ends out. This is what keeps it from looking less coiled and more beachy. He also pulled each piece down while it was cooling for help it form a loose wave, instead of bouncing up. Once the hair was cooled, he finger combed his hands through it to further break up the waves. Spraying dry shampoo on the roots (even if it is clean hair!) will give it that bedhead look, and back-combing the top will add extra volume.
