Blake Lively's car-cum-hair mini work station

Los Angeles: Blake Lively's hairdresser Rod Ortega says he sets up a mini work station in the actress' car so he can keep her hair looking perfect while she's on the go.

The stylist uses cordless curlers to restyle Lively's tresses in between appearances and even has a special bag full of tools which can be used during transit, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Describing how he set up his work station in Lively's car, Ortega said: "I've done hair everywhere: in a closet, on a plane. It's just from practice.

"I have a canvas J.Crew bag, it's my go-to because it lays flat, so you can lay out hot (tools) and combs."

In addition to using L'Oréal Paris' Elnett hairspray and a T3 Wand to get the 27-year-old actress' hair "full and thick", the stylist relies on his extensive knowledge of trends and retro hairstyles to ensure he can create the perfect look.

"I'm constantly researching what (people) wore in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. It helps me when I have to think very quickly on the spot," he told People magazine.
