Jared Leto and his beautiful hair were the centre of plenty of discussions before and during the Oscars, wondering how he would style his beautiful locks.

For his big evening, he decided not to wash it.

The 'Dallas Buyers Club' actor - who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the biographical drama on Sunday - began styling his hair in preparation for the bash on the Saturday so his ombre locks would looked lived-in.

Stylist Chase Kusero told Refinery29.com: "[Jared] did the Independent Spirit Awards [on Saturday], which are a much more casual event. So, I put a little product -- the [Vidal Sassoon] Creme Pomade and the Heat Protect & Shine Spray - and we let that sit in. Then today we bent a couple of pieces with a flat iron.

"[I don't do the flat iron] every time, but I just wanted to separate the hair more - we wanted it to be something more natural. He's got incredible hair, but I wanted it to not look too done. We wanted it to be the most true sense of Jared Leto."

The 42-year-old star's stylist claims he intentionally makes the star's hair "less done" to add to the hunk's manly look.

He added: "Sometimes we try to make it look less done. He's a guy in the truest sense of the word who [just happens to have] great long hair."

Jared wore a white suit jacket from Saint Laurent which he paired with a red bow tie with his mane hanging in lose waves at the prestigious Hollywood ceremony.
