Sleek hair looks, updos and twists have been taking social media by storm as of late and they were also seen taking over this year’s Met Gala red carpet. Celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano combined all of these trends to create actress Bruna Marquezine’s show-stopping Met Gala look, and we have Priano’s full breakdown so you can recreate it for your clients who are looking for a ‘twist’ on their updos this season.
How-To:
Step 1: Prep the hair using a blowout spray and mousse such as the Shine Show Blowout Spray and Big Attitude Bodifying Blow Dry Mousse from SexyHair. Blow dry the hair straight with a deep side part.
Step 2: Using a flat iron, straighten the hair sleek before starting the updo.
Step 3: Apply a hairspray such as the SexyHair So Touchable Weightless Hairspray to add grip. Brush the hair into a side-part ponytail, leaving out some front pieces for an ethereal touch.
Step 4: For clients with short hair, use clip-in straight 18-inch ponytail extension around the ponytail to add length for the twist in the back.
Step 5: Apply a curl cream (e.g., the SexyHair Curling Crème Curl Moisturizing Control Crème) to the ponytail. Brush it through to smooth and connect all the hairs. Create a twist with the ponytail and begin the 8-shaped twisted updo.
Step 6: Secure the twist with pins, leaving a 2-inch end out. Straighten the end to add texture to the updo.
Step 7: Finish the look with a generous amount of hairspray, such as the Big SexyHair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray, to ensure the hair doesn’t move.
