"Rachel is one of my favorite girls," says Davy. "She always wants to look cool and stylish, yet effortless. For Comic-Con, she wore this amazing Marc Jacobs top—loved the panther print! I thought that her hair back off her face would look great so I went for a cool half-up and half-down style, making sure to have a great texture to give it a modern look."

• Prep wet hair with Leonor Greyl Lait Luminescence all over and Davines Volume Boosting Mousse on the roots.

• Spray a little bit of Davines For Wizards No. 14 Sea Salt Primer all over your hair before rough drying.  Then, using a medium round brush, smooth the hair out and give some more lift to the roots.

• Take random sections and wrap them around a 3/4-inch curling iron, starting at the nape of your neck and working your way up the head. Using your fingers and a blow dryer, break up and tousle the curls.

• Gather sections of hair from the top and sides and secure with a few bobby pins in the back.
