Celebrity stylist Monaé Everett created a memorable stage look for Tony Award-winner Hailey Kilgore by creating long, shining waves in a contemporary take on Old Hollywood glamour.
Everett pulled off the look using Creme of Nature products for Kilgore, the star of Starz' hit show "Power Book III: Raising Kanan," for the singer's performance at the Recording Academy’s Women Hear event.
Pro Tip: Mix different protective and styling products to keep naturally curly hair strong and healthy post-blowout. All products used here are from the brand's Argon Oil from Morocco line.
Monaé's Step by Step:
- We started with The Strength & Shine Leave-in Conditioner, which I always suggest for detangling before smoothing hair to lock in moisture.
- Then, I applied The Perfect 7 as a heat protectant that not only shields hair up to 450 degrees but also tackles frizz.
- Knowing Hailey Kilgore would be hitting the red carpet, I used the Anti-Humidity Gloss & Shine Mist before blow drying her hair with a flat brush. When her hair was about 80 percent dry, I added a few drops of the Heat Protector Smooth & Shine Polisher for extra moisture and shine.
- After curling her hair with a 1.5 inch iron and combing out the curls with my Creme of Nature wide-tooth comb, I finished the look with a light spritz of Anti-Humidity Gloss & Shine Mist. It's my go-to for touch-ups during the red carpet, her performance, and the photoshoot.
