Country music superstar Lainey Wilson stunned as the host of the 2025 Country Music Awards earlier this week. Her loose blonde waves were elevated for the event by celebrity hairstylist Mylan Medrano.
Of the look, Medrano tells The Tease, “Our CMA vision was all about enhancing Lainey’ signature look with soft, polished, high-shine waves all perfected with Sally Beauty favorites.” Read on for the exact products Medrano used.
Get the Look:
- “On damp hair, I prepped Lainey’s strands with CHI 44 Iron Guard to protect and maintain strength during heat styling.
- For fullness and hold, I worked Ion Conditioning Mousse and Eva NYC High Rise Root Lifting Spray throughout the hair.
- I then brushed everything through with the Ion Magnesium Pro Paddle Brush for even distribution, followed by a smooth blowout using the Ion Round Brush and Ion Turbosonic Dryer.
- To create soft, textured waves, I alternated between the Ion Magnesium 1” Straightening Iron and the Ion 1¼” Curling Iron.
- I finished the look with Bond Bar Flexible Hold Spray for flyaways and Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play for long-lasting hold.
- For touch-ups between wardrobe changes, a light mist of Eva NYC Salt-Free Wave Spray reactivates texture perfectly.”
