Aika Flores Embraced the ‘Flow’ for ‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Hudson Williams’ Golden Globes Debut

01/12/2026

“Heated Rivalry” star Hudson Williams brought some of his signature smolder and sense of humor to the 2026 Golden Globes, his first. It’s not often that we get to talk about men having effortless hair, but this look was that. Working with celebrity groomer Aika Flores, for haircare brand Bur Bur, Williams wasn’t taking himself seriously — the hair was natural, falling in face-framing pieces with a sleek but not slicked quality.

Flores tells The Tease, “Overall, we wanted the vibe to be timeless, romantic, textured, and flowy to let some of his iconic hair pieces fall and frame his face. Hudson has an amazing head of hair and he’s super open creatively. With that said, to partner the tailoring, modern elegance with an effortless edge was the way to go.”

Read on for a breakdown on the products used to get Williams red carpet ready, directly from Flores.

Get the Look:

  1. “The first step in was using the Bur Bur Growing Season Derma Roller. Lightweight and easy to use, it glides smoothly without tangling, while enhancing product absorption. The needles provide precise and controlled micro-punctures, allowing for better scalp stimulation with less irritation, promoting healthier hair growth and delivering the best results for Hudson.
  2. Next, I used the Bur Bur Growing Season Oil. I love that it works overtime to visibly strengthen hair, add shine and support healthy hair growth without any extra work on our end.
  3. I took the Bur Bur Ludmila Brush through Hudson’s hair to add luster, control frizz, and distribute natural oils for sleek, healthy hair — and the boar bristles are ethically sourced!
  4. Finally, I applied a little more Bur Bur Growing Season Oil for the finished look to add softness and flow to the overall style!”
