Always one to keep us guessing, Colombian superstar, Karol G hit the Grammys red carpet with soft, bohemian, not beachy, waves that felt modern, undone, and very her. Created by celebrity hairstylist and go-to collaborator, Cesar Deleon Ramirez, using Kérastase, the airy, touchable waves perfectly complemented Karol’s sheer lace, Flamenco-inspired gown, adding movement and romance to the whole look.
By layering protective prep, sleek blow-drying, and a mix-and-match iron technique, Deleon Ramirez crafted perfectly piecey waves, finished with intentional flyaways and separation for an edgy effect.
Read on for a detailed breakdown of the look
Get the Look:
- To prep the look, start fresh with the Kérastase Première Bain Décalcifiant Réparateur Repairing Shampoo and Première Fondant Fluidité Réparateur Repairing Conditioner — a game-changing system for keeping hair hydrated and healthy.
- On towel-dried hair apply Kérastase Chroma Absolu Chroma Thermique Heat Protecting Serum and then layer on Kérastase Résistance Ciment Thermique Heat Protecting Cream. Think of it as armor for your strands.
- Next, blow-dry and smooth everything with L’Oreal Airlight Pro on a medium sleek setting to have a soft radiant finish with lots of movements.
- To create this incredible texture, use multiple irons and multiple techniques: a straightener, a waver and a 1-inch curling iron. On each section, alternate irons and apply a different waving technique to craft soft, bohemian waves that resemble naturally air dried hair. The style is meant to look and feel effortless.
- To finish, spray Kérastase Volume In Powder Texturizing Spray at the crown to create intentional fly-aways, and can’t forget my secret weapon, a little Kérastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Milk Anti-Frizz Heat Protecting Spray sprayed on the hands and applied with fingers to separate the waves so it looks a bit disheveled.
