Go ahead try it for yourself come wedding season or your next night out with these expert tips from her stylist, Larry Sims:

  • Larry started Lupita’s look by applying a quarter-size amount of curl enhancing gel on Lupita’s damp hair, and then diffused her hair to create a fine curl and texture.
  • Larry then used creme oil to smooth out the front of Lupita’s hairline. He also applied the creme oil on the sides of her head to give her hair a smooth and shiny finish.
  • After her hairline was smoothed, Larry then pushed back Lupita’s hair with a diamond Fred Leighton headband. He then shaped the crown of her hair around the dazzling tiara.
  • Larry completed Lupita’s look with luminous shine enhancing hairspray for extra flexibility with an added glossy hold that will keep her locks in place throughout a night of star studded after parties.
