For the 2024 Emmy Awards, “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson channeled Josephine Baker and the early days of entertainment. Working with longtime collaborator Alexander Armand, the hairstyle was giving classic Hollywood with a contemporary edge!
Scroll for a how-to directly from Armand.
Get the Look:
- Alexander used Maui Moisture Flexible Hold + Coconut Milk Curl Foam Mousse to mold Quinta’s hair in a deep side part to create a soft and flexible foundation for the desired look!
- He then sprayed Maui Moisture Frizz Free + Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Mist all over the hair before blow drying, to give additional shine and moisture.
- “To dry her hair I used my Olivia Garden SuperHP High Performance Professional Hair Dryer on a warm heat setting which allowed her to dry quickly! Once her hair was completely dry I straightened her hair with my Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion High Performance Professional 1″ Flat Iron on 400 degrees for a nice silky smooth polished finish,” said Armand.
- He added, “We wanted to create a deep sleek side part with a Modern Old Hollywood flare! I wanted to accentuate her cheek bone by using my Olivia Garden Titanium + Ion Professional 1.25″ Curling Iron to create moon crescent shapes along the framing of her face to give a soft edgy finished look.”
