It-girl, reality tv star, podcaster and all-around internet darling Gabby Windey was the official social correspondent for this year’s MTV VMAs (yes, still a thing) and her bouncy, bombshell blowout was one of the most evening’s most exciting hairstyles. Working with celebrity hairstylist, Frankie Calire, Windey’s hair was unbothered and effortless-looking — a noticeable contrast to many celebs she’d interviewed.
Calire tells The Tease, “We wanted something effortless yet elevated, polished enough for the VMAs but still true to Gabby’s style. The inspiration came from timeless supermodel blowouts of the early 2000s, updated with a modern softness and healthy shine.” Read on for an exact breakdown on how he prepped and styled Gabby Windey’s hair for the red carpet, including one hero product from Goddess Maintenance Co.
Get the Look:
- “To prep Gabby’s hair, I applied the Goddess Maintenance Co. BioTech Blowout Leave-In Restorative Hair Mask for hydration, shine, and heat protection.
- I created a smooth blowout with a round brush to build volume and bounce, then finished with a large-barrel iron to add soft movement and face-framing shape.”
For the pros out there, Calire says, “BioTech Blowout delivers long-lasting hold and shine without weighing the hair down. It’s perfect for big events where the look has to hold up under lights and last all night, while still looking soft and touchable.”
