“White Lotus” actress Sarah Catherine Hook rocked a surprisingly sexy hairstyle to the 2026 Actor Awards. Now, a bob, like Hook’s, doesn’t always scream sex appeal, but hers by Ricky Fraser certainly did, managing to stick out in a sea of slick backs and sleek blowouts.
Fraser tells The Tease, “For the SAG Actor Awards the look we wanted to go for was effortless sexy. A casual elegant, tousled texture that didn’t take away from the bold gown. Letting her natural beauty and charisma shine through.”
Working with milk_shake for the evening, Fraser says the brand’s cult-favorite Incredible Milk was a “must have to build a beautiful frizz free base that had shine and hydration.” He adds that the Let It Shine gloss spray “was the perfect finishing product to create luminous shine and texture without weighing the look down,” too.
Read on for a breakdown of the hairstyle featuring the techniques and exact milk_shake products Fraser used.
Get the Look:
- Apply milk_shake Volumizing Mousse at the roots to create soft lift and structure. Layer in Smoothing Cream to add light hold while controlling frizz. Finish prep with milk_shake Incredible Milk 12 Effects Leave-In Treatment to nourish, protect, and prime the hair.
- Blow-dry using a round brush to build smooth volume. Set the top section with a roller to enhance lift and create soft shape through the crown.
- Refine the style using a flat iron for smoothness, then incorporate a 1.5-inch curling iron to add subtle texture and red carpet movement.
- Work a small amount of milk_shake Lifestyling Texturizing Cream through the mid-lengths and ends to enhance body and dimension.
- Finish with milk_shake Let It Shine to add a glossy, light-reflective finish while minimizing static.
