Celebrity hairstylist Davey Matthew created a stunning vintage-inspired look for Valentina Ferrer at the Met Gala using milk_shake haircare. The style, a modern take on the classic “peekaboo” wave, channels the elegance of Hollywood icon Veronica Lake.
How To:
Step 1: Proper preparation is key to ensuring the finished look holds its shape and stays photo-ready throughout the night. Start by spraying milk_shake Leave In Conditioner throughout damp hair to detangle and improve manageability. This lightweight formula adds slip, making it ideal for both cutting and styling.
Step 2: Next, apply milk_shake Incredible Milk, a multitasking treatment that provides thermal protection, nourishment, and softness. This step preps the hair to withstand heat tools while keeping it healthy and smooth.
Step 3: To build volume and wave memory, apply milk_shake Lifestyling Volumizing Mousse evenly through the hair before blow-drying. Use a round brush during the blowout to lift the roots and shape the ends, laying the foundation for the wave pattern.
Step 4: Before using a curling iron or wave iron, mist the hair with milk_shake Lifestyling Flexible Hold Hairspray. This will protect against heat damage while allowing flexibility and brushability as you work.
Step 5: Once the waves are set and cooled, gently take them down and spray a bit of milk_shake Lifestyling Dry Shampoo at the roots. This adds texture and grip, making it easier to lightly backcomb for lift and structure, while also absorbing any excess oil.
Step 6: Finally, lock in the entire look with a generous mist of milk_shake Lifestyling Extra Strong Hairspray. This step is essential for maintaining the wave definition and achieving the signature peekaboo effect.
Step 7: For a final touch of red carpet-ready shine, lightly mist milk_shake Incredible Oil over the waves. This finishing step enhances the hair’s natural luminosity and ensures the waves catch the light from every angle, especially under the camera flashes. The result is a look that’s equal parts vintage glamour and modern elegance—timeless, striking, and Met Gala-worthy.
