Besides designing her own swimwear line, modeling for some of the most groundbreaking fashion labels, and accumulating over 21 million Instagram followers, EmRata has made a name for herself as a pillar of the natural-looking beauty movement. She's been open in the past about how to recreate her iconic glowing makeup look and now fans have officially been let in on Emily Ratajkowski’s hair care secret. Hint: it's super affordable and only takes a few minutes.

In a recent interview with Coveteur, Ratajkowski divulged exactly how she achieves the soft, tousled hairstyle that she wears day in and day out. Although her hair is naturally fine and stick straight, the model has a few tricks up her sleeve when it comes to adding volume.

After treating her hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, Ratajkowski uses a mousse followed by Kérastase's L'incroyable Blowdry. "It adds a nice texture," she says, "My hair’s really straight, so I have no curl at all, and getting a little bit of volume in it is super important. And then I can kind of leave that for a couple of days."

Marketed as a "miracle reshapable heat lotion" on the Kérastase website, the product does wonders for fine textures like Ratajkowski's.

To achieve the model's signature look, work a few pumps of her go-to product throughout towel-dried hair and follow with a quick blow dry. In as little as three minutes, you'll be left with noticeably fuller (and frizz-free) texture. Better yet, the lightweight cream also protects your hair from the damage that comes along with heat tools.

Although the weather is still far from warm, beach hair can (and should) be worn all-year long. Take cues from EmRata and complement your messy waves with contoured cheekbones, a dewy highlighter, and glossy, golden lips.

The best part about Ratajkowski's beauty routine? It's about as easy as it gets. Ahead, shop the the model's all-time favorite hair lotion along with The Zoe Report's picks for volume-enhancing products to add to your lineup immediately.
