If you've been thinking about cutting your hair super short because “it's just hair—it'll grow back,” do not think for one second that the process of returning to longer hair is as smooth as Emma Stone has made it look. After shaving her head for her new film, Bugonia, the Oscar winner has brought us along on a journey from a perfect pixie to a beautiful bixie to, now, an enviable bob—one she has already worn in several stunning ways. And while, yes, growing out your hair can go as hoped without the help of a hairstylist behind each of your public appearances, Stone's stylist, Mara Roszak, has revealed to Allure just how much attention to detail goes into a look like the actor's latest sculpted look—and how you can recreate it.
Stone attended the Bugonia Headline Gala at the BFI London Film Festival looking flawless (as per usual), wearing a floor-length, marigold yellow Louis Vuitton gown (styled by Petra Flannery), the warmth of which was reflected in the most ideal fall shade of blurred brownish-red on her lips (applied by makeup artist Nina Park). Manicurist Imarni kept that chocolatey burgundy going on her nails, which we got a peek at every time she carefully swept her hair away from her face.
And you'd be careful too if you knew how much skill and how many steps went into sculpting this bob masterpiece.

“Emma has a lot of hair, but it's fine, so l don't ever use products that weigh it down,” Roszak tells Allure. She prepped Stone's hair with a combination of her own Rōz Santa Lucia Styling Oil and Milk Hair Serum and gave her a smooth, side-parted blowout with a very small rounded brush, giving it some volume and rounding the ends under.
“I then took a one-and-a-quarter-inch barrel iron and curled everything towards the face in vertical sections,” Roszak explains. (We're fans of the T3 Curl ID curling iron.) Before brushing out the waves, she spread the Best of Beauty Award-winning Rōz Evergreen Style Cream along the newly curled sections and then used a Mason Pearson brush to very gently smooth and shape. She even used a rat tail comb—the Best of Beauty Award-winning Cécred Parting Tail Comb is perfect for this—to help sculpt that very front section. “That's the section that can be the most challenging and most particular. You really want to get that shape right around the face.”
She finished with some hairspray before the finishing touch: “I tucked the one side behind the ear,” Roszak tells Allure. “I always love a one-side tuck when you get to show an earring. It's beautiful for a red carpet. It opens up the face in a really beautiful way.”

Roszak says this is one of her favorite styles she's done on Emma Stone, and we have to agree. And while you may not be able to snag an appointment with Roszak, at least now you know exactly what you need to do to make this bob happen for yourself.
