There was nothing funny about how good scene-stealing comedian Keyla Monterroso Mejia looked on the 2025 Emmys red carpet. Although it was her first awards show, “The Studio” star looked like a veteran in a witchy Marchesa gown in a deep red, with her waist-length, caramel-highlighted hair worn in loose waves.
Celebrity hairstylist Mel Dominguez tells The Tease, she and Monterroso Mejia “wanted a romantic wave to go with her dreamy red dress.” She adds, “[she] really likes to feel like herself with a little elevation, so we wanted to keep everything feeling really soft and natural.”
Scroll for a detailed how-to directly from Dominguez including the exact products she used to get Monterroso Mejia red carpet ready.
Get the Look:
- “To get this look I used UNITE’s 7SECONDS Detangler from mid to ends. Then went in with Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray at the roots for some volume.
- This look really came together with the perfect blend of clip-in extensions for length.
- After using a 1 inch iron to achieve the waves, I finished off using UNITE’S 7SECONDS Glossing Spray to really get a nice shine without making it too oily.”
