Glamazons,
The stars were shining bright on the red carpet of the 2014 BET Awards and while there were many fab fashions and beauty looks on display, there were a couple that stood out from the pack namely Keke Palmer‘s sleek tresses and Gugu Mbatha-Raw‘s messy bun! As soon as we saw these looks, we just had to get the deets on how to recreate them. You already know that we love Motions products for maintaining healthy hair so it’s no surprise that these looks were created using the hair brand.
Here are some quick and easy steps from Motions to help you get the look!
Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer served up sophisticated glam in her Alon Livne dress and her sleek coif styled by Jamika Wilson. The “Just Keke” talk show host definitely proved that she’s all grown up and camera-ready!
“We wanted to showcase her growth into a beautiful young woman so we went for a sleek, sexy and sophisticated look while having a little fun,” Jamika said.
Get The Look:
–Cleanse: Prep hair with the first step of the Motions® Straight Finish™ Heat Styled System: the Straight Finish Cleanser, which helps to elongate curls for straightening ease.
–Condition: Use a small amount of the Straight Finish Leave-In Conditioner for added moisture to protect the hair.
–Treat: Apply the Motions Straight Finish Sealer to clean, dry hair and use flat iron to pull hair away from the face.
–Finish: Use Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade to smooth the hairline and hold edges in place, and work a dime-size amount of Motions Natural Textures Radiating Hair Gloss throughout the length.
–Style: Finish with Motions Hold & Shine Spray to control the look and add shine.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw
“Beyond The Lights” star Gugu Mbatha-Raw wore an elegant Jason Wu dress with a sophisticated textured updo styled by Aviva Perea.
“I was inspired by the elegance and high neckline of the dress. I wanted to do something that felt effortless and modern so we decided on a messy textured bun,” Aviva said.
Get The Look:
–Treat: Apply Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion on wet hair from roots to ends for hold without stiffness and blow dry using a large, mixed-bristle brush.
–Finish: Wrap small sections of hair around a 1-inch barrel curling iron and use Motions Hydrate My Curls Pudding to comb out waves with fingers. Create a bun at the nape of the neck and pin curls in place around the top of the bun.
–Style: Use Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade at the hair line for added shine and pinch hair at the crown to achieve a piecey look.
