Now here's a look I can get behind: a cool, braided updo that I can do bright and early in the morning on second (or third!) day hair and still look chic. Kirsten Dunst rocked this cute look at the premiere of her film Bachelorette at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday. Her stylist, Marcus Francis , tells Us Weekly how to get the look at home. "Prep the hair with a volumizer like Phyto Volume Actif Spray to build thickness in the texture. Rough dry with your hands while blow drying. Make a deep side part and section off to start a reverse French braid (a.k.a. corn row) along the hairline, all the way around the head. Stop the braid behind the ear on the same side as your part. Take the remaining hair on the opposite side and twist back until it joins with the braid. Keep twisting to form a loose undone roll. Use a variety of large and small hair pains to secure throughout the braid and loose roll." "To get a dusty matte finish, spray Rene Furterer Naturia Dry S...
