Is she or isn’t she dropping an album soon? Hard to say. Did Olivia Rodrigo have incredibly good hair at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party? Yes, absolutely — no question.
The “Sour” singer teamed up with celebrity hairstylist Lauren Palmer-Smith for the evening and Palmer-Smith delivered the “perfect, lived-in texture that still feels polished for a big night out” using amika products.
Palmer-Smith explains to The Tease, “The idea was to lean into her natural movement and enhance it with soft bends and touchable texture, so the hair felt relaxed but still intentional. It’s that balance of undone waves, shine, and movement that gives it that modern, cool-girl finish.”
Read on for a breakdown of the steps Palmer-Smith took to get the look, including the exact products she used.
Get the Look:
- Start by lightly dampening the hair with water, then scrunch amika Plus Size Perfect Body Hair Mousse ($31.00) throughout to enhance natural texture and add volume.
- Diffuse the hair while continuing to scrunch to encourage the natural wave pattern and build soft movement.
- Once the hair is fully dry, mist amika Un.Done Volume & Matte Texture Spray ($30.00) throughout the hair—this is the hero product for creating that effortless, cool-girl texture.
- Working in sections, lightly spray amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray ($26.00) before curling. Using a 1-inch curling iron, wrap the hair in alternating directions to create undone, natural-looking bends.
- Finish by misting Soulstruck Nourishing Dry Hair Mask ($32.00) through the lengths for added shine, softness, and that perfectly lived-in feel.
- Just before heading out, give the hair a final light veil of amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray ($26.00) to hold the shape while keeping the style flexible and effortless.
