Mena Suvari made a bold statement at the premiere of "Spun" on March 17th, 2003, in Los Angeles, captivating attention with her daring high-neck black dress and avant-garde hairstyle.
 
Known for her typically sweet appearance, she transformed her golden tresses into a free-spirited, free-form creation that provided a striking contrast and showcased her adventurous side.
 
To channel your own inner wild child and achieve a similar look, follow these steps:
 
1. Prepare Your Hair: Start by washing and drying your hair thoroughly. For added volume and hold, apply a strong mousse to damp hair, distributing it evenly from roots to tips.
 
2. Air-Dry with Texture: Allow your hair to air-dry naturally while occasionally scrunching it with your hands. This method encourages natural texture and movement to form.
 
3. Create Texture and Volume: Once your hair is dry, begin to tease and twist individual strands. This step adds texture and enhances the tousled, wild look. Focus on creating volume at the crown and throughout the lengths of your hair.
 
4. Gather and Pin: Gather the majority of your hair towards the back of your head, leaving some strands loose for a more effortless appearance. Secure the gathered hair with bobby pins or a hair clip, ensuring it stays in place.
 
5. Define Individual Strands: To enhance the carefree vibe, pull out a few individual strands on the sides and around your face. This technique softens the hairstyle and adds to its organic, undone aesthetic.
 
6. Set with Hairspray: To lock in your style and maintain the tousled texture, generously spray your hair with hairspray. This step helps hold everything together while adding a touch of shine.
 
By following these steps, you can achieve a hairstyle that reflects a sense of spontaneity and creativity, much like Mena Suvari's look. Embrace your wild side and let your hair express your inner adventurous spirit!
