Get the Look: Gwyneth Paltrow's California Waves

Seen here at the Beverly Hills celebration of her new book "My Father’s Daughter," Gwyneth Paltrow’s luminous waves act as the perfect complement to her bold choice of dress.

Celebrity stylist David Babaii shares how he achieved the look:

"I began by applying Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment on clean, wet hair (used prior to drying, it's my secret for a silky, shiny finish). I then rough dried the hair for texture and volume.

Next, I created a center part and began taking random sections and wrapping only the center portion of some of the strands (leaving the top and ends free) around a 2” curling iron. I then wrapped alternating strands around the curling iron, leaving only the very tips free. This was done to create uneven curl patterns. Once the strand cooled, I ran my fingers up the hair creating a “fanning effect.”

To finish, I added additional Couture Colur Pequi Oil Treatment to my hands and tousled the waves for added volume, texture and hold."
