SEARCHIf Carey Mulligan's blond style is any indication, short hair can be just as versatile as long. From her Oscar's look to her appearance at the MET Ball to the Cannes Film Fest, her locks have pushed the boundaries of what you can do with short hair. Just in Cannes alone, she's worn her hair three different ways: tousled, blown back from her face, and in sultry finger waves. Sebastian celebrity stylist Thomas Dunkin styled a fourth look for her—straight and precise—for the MET Ball.

If Carey Mulligan's blond style is any indication, short hair can be just as versatile as long. From her Oscar's look to her appearance at the MET Ball to the Cannes Film Fest, her locks have pushed the boundaries of what you can do with short hair. Just in Cannes alone, she's worn her hair three different ways: tousled, blown back from her face, and in sultry finger waves. Sebastian celebrity stylist Thomas Dunkin styled a fourth look for her-straight and precise-for the MET Ball.
Looking to counter Carey's very feminine dress with a tomboy flair, Thomas styled the actress' short ‘do with a full fringe crop that's approaching a very short bob. He shared with us his tips for recreating Mulligan's understated style.
1. Dampen hair and apply a liberal amount of Sebastian Professional Potion 9.
2. With a Mason Pearson paddle brush, blow-dry hair forward and very close to the head.
3. While drying longer sections, roll the fringe under with the brush to fake a full-fringe effect.
4. Pin-curl hair just in front of the ears and let it set for added wave and natural texture.
5. Pull down curls and emulsify a dab of styler, like Sebastian Professional Matte Putty, throughout to keep the look modern and close to the head.
6. Finish the look by lightly spraying the hair with a strong-hold hair spray.
