Despite the current craze for clip-ins and curling irons, many women still use the flat iron as their go-to styling tool. And that includes singing sensation Keri Hilson. We loved this throwback style that the star used to rock and wear so well!

At the Queendom Day Party in New Orleans, the Design Essentials Style Team recreated the same simple, on-trend curls, courtesy of the Hydrience Argan Collection, which features Moroccan Argan Oil, to create weightless coils with loads of shine and staying power. 

Here's how to copy Keri and get the look:

Prep

Begin with hair that has been shampooed and conditioned with products that won't weigh hair down. Design Essentials Oat Protein & Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Express Instant Moisturizing Conditioner ($9, each) quickly cleanse and moisturize hair without lingering residue.

Prepare for the style with a light mist of the Hydrience Argan Moisture Replenishing Mist ($18), which contains pure Argan oil to deliver softness and sheen, plus thermal protection from heat.

Style

Each curl is created using a 1" flat iron, set to the appropriate degree for color treated hair.

Securing 1" sections, begin curling hair around the perimeter of the head, pinning curls out of the way with a flat clip to allow them to cool. If you desire looser waves, allow curls to cool without pinning.

Hold the iron and hair at a 45 degree angle from the head. Clamp down on hair at the root of the section and create a full rotation of the iron without releasing hair.

Slide the iron down the length of hair, and then about 2 inches from the end of hair, rotate the iron once more. Continue until the whole head has been curled.

Finish

After curls have been allowed to cool (approximately 5 minutes), rub 2-3 drops of the the Hydrience Argan Hair Repair Oil Treatment ($17) onto hands and finger comb curls to blend. This will add shine and protect from humidity.

For a fluffier look, finger comb more and to retain individual curl definition, finger comb less.

Finally, apply a pea sized portion of Hydrience Argan Moisturizing Creme ($12) to hands and rub together, smoothing over the crown and temples of the hair to eliminate flyaways.
