At Coachella 2006 weekend two, Addison Rae’s hair was “2 die 4,” as expected, thanks to celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. The looks (both pigtailed and post) leaned into the pop star’s natural texture with a sexy, lived-in finish that was was undone-feeling but intentional.
Hawkins tells The Tease the vibe they were going for was “Effortless with a capital E,” adding, “We just wanted her to feel like her cool self.”
If your clients want to look as cool, and who wouldn’t, read on for the exact amika products Hawkins used to get her prepped for her iconic set.
Get the Look:
- Start by applying Plus Size Perfect Body Mousse ($31.00) at the roots on damp hair and blow dry using a round brush to build volume and lift.
- Once dry, use a 1-inch curling iron to create loose, imperfect waves throughout the hair, focusing on a natural, undone texture rather than uniform curls.
- Finish by spraying Soulstruck Nourishing Dry Mask ($32.00) throughout to add softness, hydration, and that perfectly piecey, effortless separation. No heavy hairspray is needed for this look – you want to keep it looking flexible and crease-free.
