Says Francis, “Kerry’s Stella McCartney dress had a mood and playfulness to it with its lip and heart prints, making it a fun look for the Teen Choice Awards. We wanted keep her hair fun, not too fussy, and with a bit of rock n roll to it. Cutting bangs and giving the hair a slept in texture made Kerry’s look.” Here’s how he achieved this style.

Using two different size curling irons (3/4″ and 1 1/4″) wrapping random pieces of hair from roots to ends in different directions, as well as creating bends in the hair by wrapping around the iron once. Spray each section with Davine’s Structuring Mist hairspray
