HOW TO: BETTY DRAPER 'DO



What’s not to love about Mad Men? The figure-flattering wardrobe, the abundance of cat eyes + red lips, picturesque views of old New York and—of course—the hair! Betty Draper has always been our fav, so we broke down her perfectly-sculpted curls in this surprisingly easy tutorial.

Get ready for the Season 6 premiere this Sunday in just a few steps!

Step 1: Create a deep side part and section off front of hair from ear to ear.

Step 2: Using your amika 25mm amika clip-less curling wand, curl hair on both sides of the part in a forward direction- keep the wand vertical and wrap hair flat around the wand-do not twist as you wrap- twisting will create more of a wave effect.

Step 3: Section off the hair in the back and curl in 1inch sections while holding the wand horizontally.

Step 4: Smooth a few drops of amika Obliphica Oil Treatment onto the hair to add shine. Brush through the hair forward from root to tip.

Step 5: When curls are completely brushed, begin to sculpt the hair—creating a smooth wave in the front and rolling waves on the sides.

Step 6: Finish off the final look with a few spritzes of  amika Obliphica Touchable Hairspray for hold and shine.
