There’s no doubt about it, “Hacks” star, Hannah Einbinder, looks great with a flip. It’s become something of a red carpet signature for her. So it was a thrill to see that she and longtime collaborator, celebrity hairstylist, Jerrod Roberts punched it up for the 2026 Critics Choice Awards with an exaggerated shape that still maintained every bit of elegance.
Roberts tells The Tease when it came to deciding on the look it was just that easy, “We wanted her hair to feel like a nod to the 90’s doing the 60’s. She looks so good with a flip. This has been a go-to for us and we really wanted a style that went with such a fabulous dress.” The dress in question: custom Louis Vuitton.
Read on for the exact steps Roberts took and the products he used for Einbinder’s insane flip moment.
Get the Look:
- “I used RŌZ Air Thickening Spray, shu uemera Netsu Design Blow Dry Cream and R+Co BLEU Essential Blow Dry Tonic as a blowout cocktail.
- I blowdried the hair on Trademark Beauty large velcro rollers — the bottom rollers facing up and the rest of the head facing down.
- After it was brushed out I finished it with RŌZ Milk Hair Serum over the top to calm the flyaways. And Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray.”
