Olandria is everywhere. After a historic run at Milan Fashion Week, she stunned on the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. Her look? Soft, voluminous curls by Ashanti Lation using amika products.
Lation shares, “For Olandria’s 2026 VMAs glam, I wanted the hair to feel sexy, effortless and glamorous. The curls were soft and full with beautiful movement and an undone finish that still felt polished enough for the red carpet. Amika helped me bring that vision to life.”

Get the Look:
- Start by applying the shield anti-humidity spray before curling. The lightweight spray helps protect hair from heat and humidity while creating a smooth foundation for styling.
- Curl the hair in varying sections and directions to create soft, dimensional curls with a natural, undone finish. Alternating the direction of the curls keeps the look from feeling too uniform.
- Once the curls have cooled, mist un.done volume and matte texture spray throughout the hair to break up the curls and add volume, separation and effortless, lived-in texture.
- Finish with fluxus touchable, flexible hold hairspray for flexible, touchable hold that keeps the hair soft and full while maintaining plenty of movement.
