I've envied Blake Lively's hair since her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl days. Her blonde, which she describes as a "warm honey or apricot blonde with natural, deeper roots," is seemingly always fresh, and her air-dried texture somehow avoids frizz and tangles altogether. But Blake Lively's hair routine remained pretty under wraps for over a decade.
It's known that hairstylist Jennifer Yepez is responsible for her styling—be it a bouncy blowout or high ponytail—while Rona O'Connor is in charge of the It Ends With Us actress' color. But it wasn't until the launch of Lively's namesake beauty brand, Blake Brown, and this interview that I learned exactly how the Betty Buzz founder cares for and styles her hair. “I really listen to my hair,” Lively exclusively tells me. “I don’t follow a routine strictly, but I follow the lead of how my hair responds [to the weather, styling, and products].”
