STEP TWO: "Then I sprayed a generous amount of Dove's Hair Therapy 7 in 1 Miracle Mist ($7) throughout her locks. Next, I added a tiny mist of Dove Hair Therapy Brilliant Gloss and Repair ($7) to her ends for shine. Finally, I went in and blew out her hair."
STEP THREE: "Once the hair was fully dry, I set the Mohawk section in rollers and locked them in with Dove Flexible Hairspray ($6). I then went and used a 1-inch curling iron to wave the hair under all over."

STEP FOUR: "To finish, I released the rollers and brushed her hair... with my TangleTeezer The Ultimate Styler. The brush’s patented teeth technology smooths hair for the ultimate shine finish while keeping every strand in place."
FINAL STEP: "Finally, I sprayed the entire look with my Dove hairspray. The result was classic and beautiful."
The up-and-coming star had a chance to show off her hairstyle as she presented the best achievement in visual effects award alongside Euphoria's Jacob Elordi. Rachel's appearance almost didn't happen - she received a last-minute invitation after initially not being invited to the show despite her film West Side Story being a top nominee.
On stage after Jacob noted that "Growing up in Australia, I had never thought that I would stand on the stage,” Rachel quipped: "And I never thought that I would be here six days ago! We did it! Dreams really can come true — pretty fast, too."
