It’s official - Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing are married. On the 14th of April the Made In Chelsea couple said ‘I do’ in an intimate legal ceremony at Chelsea’s Town Hall. While the main event is yet to take place - they’re having a much bigger celebration in Seville next month- their city nuptials were still nothing short of aspirational. The photographs captured by renowned industry photographer Benjamin Wheeler have already been shared, saved and Pinned multiple times.
Sophie, who has been documenting her wedding day beauty treatmentson Instagram, opted for a classic corset dress from Vivienne Westwood - a choice that would have looked perfectly at home in an episode of Sex and The City. Her accompanying make-up was bronzed and glowing - that radiance was no doubt the result of her strict attitude towards sun care, her failsafe skincare routine and the base products we suspect she wore on her wedding day. But the star of the show? Her hair. Styled into an enviably bouncy blow-dry that boasted an impossibly glossy finish, it's fair to say Sophie's bridal look hit the mark.
The man responsible? Willis Galbraith – a hairdresser with a legion of celebrity clients including Leonie Hanne and Hanna Cross.
Speaking exclusively to Grazia, Willis revealed the method behind Sophie’s wedding day hair - including the £7.50 product he swears by for all of his brides.
‘I used the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, £329 to achieve Sophie’s bouncy curls,’ reveals Willis. ‘I then pin curled each section to ensure maximum hold. She’s blessed with beautifully thick hair, so didn’t need any extensions, but where bridal hair is concerned, it’s always helpful to use volume boosting products to ensure longevity. I combined the Oribe Maximista Spray, £36 with the Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream, £55 for unrivalled shine and volume. I also applied the ColorWow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray which acts as a great waterproofing agent – ideal for brides fearful of being caught in the rain. I finished Sophie’s hair with L'Oreal Paris Hairspray by Elnett for Strong Hold & Shine, £7.50 - it’s a classic for a reason and leaves hair touchably soft but sitting beautifully all day long.’
L’Oréal Elnett hairspray is a bona fide cult classic and a go-to for most pros in the business.
