Giannandrea (@GiannandreaHair) for L’Oréal Paris created the look for Karlie Kloss. The inspiration? “Karlie came to me inspired that it was her first time on this iconic red carpet.  I really wanted to make this look special for her – anything halfway at the Oscars wouldn’t have made sense, it wasn’t the place.  We went with soft fresh waves, Old Hollywood, but a little more relaxed and supple.”

  • To start, hair was washed with L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Extraordinary Clay Shampoo ($4.99) and Conditioner ($4.99).  It was important that last rinse of conditioner be done using cold water to close cuticle completely, which maintains subsequent volume.
  • The first key product to the look was L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT Inject Volume Mousse($4.99), which served as the foundation.  On towel-dried hair, Giannandrea worked product from root to tip, combing through.
  • He next began blow drying the hair slowly on hot and low – using just his fingers so as not to stretch the hair, which minimizes volume. A combination of heat and mousse are enough for long-lasting volume, no brush needed.
  • Next, he took a brush and sectioned the hair into a deep side part, and prepped small sections with L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray ($14.99).
  •  Using a 1-inch curling iron, he wrapped hair around the barrel with a little twist of his wrist while doing so to avoid any flatness.  He worked the curling iron all the way around the head from top, down.
  • To style the front, he picked up a flat iron to create a bend that was in line with the rest of the side curls — the effect of a flat iron vs. curling iron is less “round”.
  • Once done, he brushed all the waves out GENTLY so as not to stretch them out.
  •  Next, he added a bit of L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo ($5.99) for hold and plumpness, especially given the moisture in the air due to weather.
  • Last, he softly brushed and added a final lock-in spritz of Elnett for shine.

 

For Emma StoneL’Oréal Paris Celebrity Hairstylist Mara Roszak (@mararoszak)  states, “The dress has a beautiful long silhouette and overall 40’s ‘goddess’ feel. To complement the dress, I made the hair feel brushed out with a very soft, dreamy wave.”

Mara also created the look for Brie Larson, “I wanted to give Brie an effortless, undone look. We opted for a simple half-up half-down style that had an ‘easy breezy’ feel with sexy texture.”

“Nicole’s Armani dress was so beautiful and chic with the most gorgeous open back that we wanted her hair to be up and not too fussy.”

  • I sprayed Dove Absolute Curls Leave-In Detangler ($5.99) throughout her damp hair to add nourishment, then applied a dime-sized amount of Dove Absolute Curls Supreme Crème Serum ($5.99) from mid-length to ends before blowdrying the hair smooth
  • After her hair was completely dry, I brushed it back into a low ponytail, leaving the front sections loose
  • With a 1-inch curling iron, I added a little texture to the front right section and loosely tucked the left side back behind her ear, spraying it in place with Dove Style+Care Flexible Hold Hairspray ($3.99)
  • Next, I split her ponytail into 2, and tied it into a literal knot, pinning it in place
  • Then, I lightly teased the ends that were still out, and tucked them into the knot to complete the messy chignon
  • To finish the look, I lightly teased the front waves then lightly sprayed her whole head with Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray ($3.99)

 

Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend styled Dakota Johnson’s sleek 90’s half twist.

“For Dakota Johnson’s look at this year’s Academy Awards, we took great inspiration from the 1990s. Because her dress, and especially the collar, was so gorgeous and ornate, we wanted to keep the hair sleek, straight, and minimal.”

  • I started by applying Dove Curl Defining Mousse to her damp hair at the roots for volume, and sprayed some Oribe Royal Blowout Spray to her damp ends for added shine. I then went in and blow dried her hair with my mixed bristle round brush, trying to get the hair as smooth as possible without any added curl at the end.
  • Once the hair was fully dry, I used my GHD styling iron to add even more smoothness and shine, using tiny sections.
  • I then went in and gathered the hair around her hairline and pulled it back.
  • For that ultra-90s look, we decided a half back look would be perfect so I secured the hair from the hairline into a knot and secured with scunci bobby pins. **Mark’s Tip — I always use an even number of hairpins because I cross them in an X for extra hold and security. **
  • I finished by very liberally spraying Dove Extra Hold Hairspray all over the top to keep her shorter, face framing layers in place all night

For Taraji P Henson, Tymothe Wallace for Dove Hair styled her glamorous bob.

“I was inspired by the iconic Diahann Carroll when creating Taraji’s Oscars look. Her demure, navy blue velvet Alberta Ferretti gown was the perfect, modern nod to old Hollywood glamour, and I wanted her hair to reflect the same.”

  • I prepped hair using Dove DermaCare Scalp Dryness & Itch Relief Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner ($4.99) which alleviates any scalp dryness and itch but keeps hair soft, nourished and manageable
  • Once hair was cleansed, I sprayed Dove Absolute Curls Leave-In Detangler ($5.99) on 2-inch sections of hair before blowing them dry with my Dyson blowdyer
  • I then emulsified 2-3 pumps of Dove Absolute Curls Supreme Crème Serum ($5.99) in my hands and distributed it evenly throughout her hair before using my jumbo FHI Heat barrel curling iron to create pin curls which I then set with velcro rollers to lock-in the curl memory
  • After curls were set, I took them down and  used my trusty Mason Pearson to brush through the roller set, then used my fingers to set the look in place before liberally spraying with Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray ($3.99)
