This is my favorite of her looks, for obvious reasons: It's what I wish my curls would do on the regular. I know she says she doesn't use a stylist, but SURELY she has a roving hair guru who can pull rabbits like this out of a variety of hats.

She also still busts out the vintage Serena Van Der Woodsen bedhead look with aplomb. Her hair is that rare bird that still looks stylish even when you're not sure when it last saw a brush.

This is much more obviously enhanced. It's seamlessly done, but I'm sure if you walked up and asked her she'd be like, "Hell yeah, meet my ponytail, I named her Blair."

And now, a half-up, half-down look, which is also tough to pull off. Obviously, being pregnant helped tremendously, because it does the BEST thickening things to hair. But it's not like her tresses were shabby without those hormones.

I tend to think, given the wealth of options available to Hollywood types, that nearly all of them use or have used hair extensions to fluff out their locks -- and why not; if it looked real and cost me nothing or I had movie star bucks, I'd do it too. All of which is to say: No judgment but this is totally not all her own, is it? Even WITH the pregnancy? It's SO FULL. Deliciously so

I just wanted you to know that even when she's filming scenes for a movie in which she is TRAPPED ON SOMETHING TINY as she avoids being eaten by a shark, her hair still looks pretty damn good.

I wonder if the wave is what's natural to her hair, or the straightness. If it's the former, then I cannot imagine how long it took to get this so IMMACULATELY ironed.

It's like Super Hair. It can basically do anything, lie any which way, go up and down and back again... If she'd start using Instagram to release her tricks into the wild, that would be so helpful. Think about it, Blake. 2017 needs SOMETHING.
