Cosmically, it just feels right that Hilary Duff and the cast of “Laguna Beach” are back at the same time. Somehow it has been twenty years since the iconic show hit the air and now, our favorites, including Kristin Cavallari and Lauren “LC” Conrad are returning to our screens with a reunion special on April 10th.
Conrad, who famously graduated to “The Hills,” was a mainstay in aughts beauty media with every one of her hair and makeup choices recreated, or dissected, by millions of millennials, then she pretty much disappeared to enjoy her personal life. In the clips that have been released from the reunion special, as well as promo, her hair is giving expensive but effortless California blonde with beachy waves that feel familiar but elevated. Naturally, the internet is already abuzz.
Celebrity hairstylist and SHAE founder, Kathleen Riley, has been behind the looks so we got in touch directly to get the lowdown. She tells The Tease, “The vibe for the reunion was volume and effortless hair. The dress was a little more formal so to keep it away from becoming bridal looking at all we wanted to keep the hair really cool and effortless vibes.”
Read on for a detailed breakdown including the exact products Riley used.
Get the Look:
- “I used Oribe Superfine Hair Spray before curling and then I used a 1 1/4” Paul Mitchell curling iron to create some of the waves and a Paul Mitchell flat iron to create some more, so that none of the waves clumped together. And it kept it very light and airy.
- I finished with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and IGK Beach Club Instant Texture Powder.”
