Celebrity hairstylist Iggy Rosales styled singer-songwriter Kim Petras for this year’s Calgary Cowgirls Music Festival, and gave us a detailed play-by-play on how to achieve the sleek, structured look. The style, nicknamed “Calgary Sleek,” featured razor-straight lengths, subtle volume at the crown, a high-gloss finish, and curled ends, creating a controlled silhouette that stood apart from the usual relaxed festival hairstyles.
“Inspired by contrast and control,” Rosales said. “This look is clean, minimal, and powerful—dead straight with just a whisper of lift for softness.”
Here are the details to learn more about the intricacies behind the look or to re-create it.
Get the Look:
- Rosales began by detangling and sectioning the hair using the RED by KISS Detangle Brush
- He then flat-ironed small sections with the RED by KISS Pencil Flat Iron to achieve a sharp, straight texture from root to tip.
- At the crown, he teased slightly and smoothed the top layer to retain a soft lift.
- Rosales finished the style with a glossing spray for shine and humidity resistance.
