Creating Perfect Waves Like Blair Waldorf's With my Flat Iron

leighton_meester-flat-iron-hairI am a huge Gossip Girl fan.  I loved the books, so when they started the TV series I was excited but a little bit wary.  What if they didn’t portray the characters like I had imagined them?  Needless to say, my worries soon turned into delight because they did such a good casting job.  My favorite character, hands down, is Blair Waldorf.  Leighton Meester deliciously portrays the evil side of her character to a point where you just can’t hate her.  And how can you hate her when she has such great hair?

It’s silly but it’s true.  She single handedly sparked a headband revolution.  They are everywhere in stores these days, thanks to Blair Waldorf.  I personally like her hair the best when it is in loose waves.  It is a style that I can wear on an average day and still feel put together but not too made up.  I have a GHD flat iron and it has been instrumental in creating this look.  The loose but not too-perfect waves are easier to style with a flat iron than a curling iron.  A curling iron makes my hair look too “Shirley Temple.”  I would rather look like bad girl Blair Waldorf any day of the week!
