Recreate Amy Adams' slicked-back SAG Awards style with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity stylist Adir Abergel:

"The dress was a statement on its own, so I wanted to accentuate it; this look is a sleek statuesque 'do with a modern twist.

To start, I applied Fekkai Coiff Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm from the roots to the end of the hair, then sprayed Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel at the hair line to achieve the sleek finish.

Next, I blow-dried the hair straight with a round brush. With a straightening iron, I then sealed the ends to achieve the flat style. I pulled the hair into a high ponytail. (A great tip for this is to follow the cheek bone line all the way up, and then place the base of the ponytail at that point.) I then secured the hair with an elastic band, for an added dimension.

Finally for added shine, I finished the look by spraying Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist allover."
