Glamazons,
We all know Lupita Nyong’o rules the red carpet whether in red Ralph Lauren or teal Gucci. But she’s also made quite the impression with her hair.
Though short and cropped, Lupita achieves great versatility with her look by experimenting with parts, teasing her hair and even using a fiber filling agent to exaggerate her hairline.
Read on for the scoop behind her hairstyles!
1. At the “Late Night with David Letterman” Show with Ted Gibson:
1. Ted added hair extensions to Lupita’s natural hairstyle for the “Late Night with David Letterman” show, which is something any woman can create at home! All you need is a strong holding gel and loose, textured hair extensions.
2. Apply the gel to your head then take the hair and put it on top of the gel on your hair.
3. After you have applied the hair you can actually shape into place with your hands and create the shape that you want.
4. Ted molded Lupita’s hair to create a soft Mohawk, pompadour like shape. Be sure to finish it off with a holding hairspray to keep it all in place.
Cute! The voluminous hair worked well with her low-cut J. Mendel top and Christian Louboutin studded captoe pumps.
2. At the Critics Choice Awards with stylist Ted Gibson:
1. For Lupita’s hair, Ted started off using 2 shine lotions mixed with a sting hold wax.
2. After applying that to her hair, he pressed hot towels to her head to calm flyaways and give shine. Textured hair absorbs light so it’s very important to give this type of hair shine and moisturizing products.
3. Next, using a fiber filling agent, Ted then exaggerated her widow’s peak by filling in her hairline. Ted waited for that to dry then applied hairspray to hold in place.
It was the perfect choice to accent her Calvin Klein Collection gown, right?
3. At the Golden Globes with stylist Larry Sims:
1. Larry started Lupita’s glam look by liberally applying Smooth ‘N Shine Go Pro Curls Curl-Licious Mist to refresh and reactivate her natural curls.
2. Next, Larry used a rat tail comb to insert a dramatic deep side part on the right side of her head.
3. He then took the part back to the crown of Lupita’s head and combed her hair to each side.
4. After the dramatic part was put in place, Larry then used Smooth ‘N Shine Go Pro Curls Butter Bouncin’ to hydrate Lupita’s hair to give it an easy moldable texture.
5. For a finishing touch, Larry used got2b 2sexy voluptuous volume hairspray to keep her tresses in place through a long night of Golden Globe after parties.
The style was even cooler from the side:
And love. that. gown!
