As McKnight points out – and Sienna frequently demonstrates – “perfectly tousled hair is best when imperfect.” The aim, in other words, is to achieve a relaxed, lived-in, sexy and mussed-up look. “Truly tousled hair is cool and effortless, it doesn’t try too hard,” he continues. “So creating a texture in hair that feels natural and not over-styled is key – whether it’s created with styling tools, or your natural hair is enhanced with styling products, it’s all about movement.”
The secret product? McKnight’s holy-grail Cool Girl Texture Mist. It lends volume, body and grit to every look with zero fuss – all you have to do is mist and scrunch. It smells good too, thanks to its blend of frankincense, juniper wood and water lily, inspired by Sam’s own garden.
McKnight warns against overworking your hair, which could make it too curly or big for Sienna’s signature look. “If your hair is straight, give it a little wave with a curling tong – try waving it in different directions for that signature cool girl hair texture,” he says. For those with curlier hair, stretch out the waves gently with a hairdryer for a more relaxed vibe. “Your styling products should both enhance and control your look,” he shares. “If your hair needs more body and texture a dry texturiser should be your go-to.”
Of course, those trademark boho tresses aside, Miller has experimented with myriad looks over the course of her years in the spotlight. Revisit her changing hair below.
