Blake Lively’s golden blonde hair has been the MVP of many a Pinterest board for as long as the star has been in the spotlight.

And while most of us aren’t as follicularly blessed as the 37-year-old actress and entrepreneur, at least now we can use what she uses to keep her hair healthy and glorious with her hair care line,Blake Brown, which launched in July.

“There are a lot of great options out there, but nothing that was doing all the things that I wanted, which was clean formulas with incredible performance at a mass price point with a fragrance that I would spray on my body,” Lively previously told PEOPLE of the brand. “I didn’t want to step into something that someone else had already created because I wanted to replicate the systems and the patterns that I already loved.”

TheIt Ends With Usactress is also letting us in on another secret: exactly how she achieved three of her favorite red carpet hair looks, plus the Blake Brown products you can use to get a similar style at home.

Party Pony

“Jewelry woven into hair is a quick and easy way to glam your hair,” Lively tells PEOPLE. “Whether your hair is clean or dirty, or if you have 10 mins or an hour, adding jewelry, chains, beads or ribbons to an unstructured ponytail or braid instantly makes your hairdo feel playful and unique.”

To create this look, dry shampoo is key, she says. “Whether my hair is clean or dirty, I always use ourBlake Brown Dry Shampoobecause it’s both texturizing and volumizing and I always want volume, even when my hair is slicked back,” Lively says. “I use dry shampoo through my ends so that my pony or braid has as much thickness as possible.”

The star adds, “The most important part is to have fun with it. I’ve been using stacked hoops to cover my hair tie lately. Who needs hair accessories? (I probably do!)”

Lively brought a surprise plus one to the New York City premiere ofPokémon: Detective Pikachuin May 2019. Her on-theme sequined Retrofête slip dress revealed that she and Reynolds wereexpecting their third child. Yet, even with this headline-making news, Lively’s fluffy ringlets still managed to have their moment.

“This hair takes time if you don’t have naturally curly hair,” Lively recalls of the look.

For this style, she washes withBlake Brown Strengthening ShampooandStrengthening Mask. She famously skips traditional conditioner in favor of a mask, but is careful not to go overboard with the product, “since too much nourishment will cause my hair to fight holding the curl.”

“On damp hair I use ourBlake Brown All in Wonder Leave In Potionand a TON of ourGlam Mousse, roots to ends,” she continues. “Then I dry my hair and finish with hairspray before styling.”

“Our Glam Mousse, hairspray and finishing with ample Blake Brown Dry Shampoo is key to maximum volume for this look,” Lively explains. “Our dry shampoo is especially great because it doubles as a texturizing and volumizing spray. While it takes time this, look is so fun to wear and memorable.”

Lively dazzled in aTamara Ralph diamond chainmail minidressand dramatic cape at the LACMA Art + Film Gala on Nov 2. She accessorized the ensemble with her signature waves.

The star recalls that her hairstylist Jennifer Yepez used “a ton” of Blake Brown Glam Mousse before drying her hair.

“You can use hot rollers or a big barrel curling iron for a glamorous yet lived-in look,” Lively explains. “She twists the strands a little before wrapping around the roller or the barrel, and she leaves the ends out so it’s a little straighter at the bottom for a more relaxed feeling. I like when hair doesn’t look too fussy so I always use our Blake Brown Dry Shampoo for added volume, texture and a look of ease.”
