“She Did it Again” singer Tyla, hit the Met Gala 2026 in a blur of sparkles and skin with effortless hair by her go-to hairstylist Yusef.
Yusef, who used True Hair Company, Wavytalk hair tools, and amika styling products to create the look, says, “For Tylas Met Gala hair my overall inspiration was something extremely statuesque, very ethereal like an art sculpture. A mix of sculpted softness, telling a story of beauty and strength!” Read on for a detailed breakdown.
Get the Look:
- “To ensure Tyla was Met-ready, I started by installing luxury Indian Curly Bundles from True Hair Company, selected for their soft natural wave/curl pattern and ideal for movement and ability to mimic a wet finish when styled (from $180.00 to $440.00).
- Once the True Hair Company Indian Curly Bundles were installed, I applied amika’s Superfruit Star’ Lightweight Hair Styling Oil ($32.00) throughout the hair. After, I went in with my Wavytalk’s Steam Sesh ($79.99) to smooth out the roots of her hair before going in and defining the curls with Wavytalk’s Cool Curl Pencil ($47.99).”
- Use un.done volume and matte texture spray ($30.00) and power hour curl hair refreshing spray ($30.00), with a touch of water, throughout the styling process to build texture and support.
- Apply on lock high hold hair wax ($30.00) for edge control and refinement.
- Set the style with headstrong intense hold hairspray ($27.00) to lock in the wet look.
- Finish with top gloss hair shine spray ($29.00) for maximum shine.
