Get Marissa Bode’s Sculpted Finger Wave Look From the 2025 SAG Awards With Rikke Gajda’s Tips

02/23/2025

Marissa Bode has that “Wicked” magic and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Her looks for the entire of this award season have been major, especially her hair which had been styled by Graham Nation up until his tragic passing. For the 2025 SAG Awards red carpet she stunned again, this time working with celebrity hairstylist Rikke Gajda, who created an uber feminine updo.

Gajda says, “so we wanted to go classic with Marissa’s hair today,” adding, “… we chose to do a sculpted finger wave look with a low bun.” The right choice for sure! Scroll for a breakdown on the look including exactly which products and tools Gajda used.

Get the Look:

  1. “I started out with blow drying her hair sleek using the IGK Good Behavior heat protectant spray and my Ibiza round brush.
  2. From there I sectioned off around 2 inches of hair from where we wanted her part to be.
  3. I then slicked the rest of her hair back in a low bun using Oribe Gel Serum. I placed it slightly to the side so that it would be noticeable from the front. 
  4. I then curled the bang section with a 1 inch ghd curling iron towards the face. Curling it towards the face helps us get the natural swoop in front. 
  5. Then with a wide tooth comb and Sexy Hair’s So Touchable weightless hair spray I started to sculpt the wave where I wanted it.
  6. Finished off the look with a lot of Sexy Hair Healthy Smooth & Seal for that beautiful shine.”
