The Wicked Looks
The Los Angeles premiere was a magical affair, sparking a wave of hype for Jon M. Chu’s musical masterpiece. From Broadway to blockbuster, Wicked has enchanted audiences with some unforgettable stars: Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch, Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible. And we can’t forget the iconic Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, who originated these roles on Broadway. As all these legends reunited on the “Wicked Carpet,” showing off some bewitching, head-turning looks, Wella Professionals was there at every turn to ensure spell-bonding damage repair for their hair. Keep reading to see exactly how Miracle Hair Rescue got involved.
For Idina’s Wicked premiere look, her dress’s architectural shape and design was a big inspiration. Using the open shoulder on one side and predominant volume of the sleeve on the other side, we chose to keep the hair down, voluminous, and swept to one side to help balance it out visually.
The Steps:
- Shampoo with Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo and condition with Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Conditioner.
- Then on clean and damp hair use Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue treatment for protection against damage and help keep hair shiny and smooth prior to blow drying.
- After blow drying, push most of the hair to one side, basically working off a side part, and then used a 1 1/4-inch curling iron in small sections to wave out the hair.
- For more texture, wave each 2-inch section in the opposite direction as the previous. Then use a workable hairspray to increase hold for each curl.
- Once the entire head is curled, use a texturizer spray to separate and build out the volume of each wave.
- Then, go back with a round brush and blow dryer and blow dry the face frame away from the face and added more root volume to the crown.
- With one last swoop with the majority of the hair to one side, spray the hair for a final finish!
The inspiration for Kristin Chenoweth’s hair for the Wicked Premiere was to keep it simple, sleek, and shiny. Nothing too fussy or princess-like to enhance her Pamela Roland gold metal mini dress, which was very ornate. By keeping things simple the entire look was modern and beautiful and makes great inspiration for holiday or a New Year hairstyle.
The Steps:
For Michelle’s style they decided on a more exaggerated look – keeping it short, modern and voluminous – to fit with the campiness that Wicked is.
The Steps:
- Hair health is integral to any hairstyle, so first start with Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo and Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Conditioner. With use, hair is strengthened, and moisturized – a perfect start to any style!
- Then spray Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue treatment from mids to ends for extra repair, strength and shine.
- To protect the repair done in previous steps, add Wella Professionals EIMI Flowing Form Anti Frizz Hair Balm to seal in moisture, protect the hair from heat, and smooth frizz.
- Next on damp hair, apply Wella Professionals EIMI Body Crafter Flexible Volumizing Spray to roots and mid sections thoroughly distributing product in 1.5 inch sections for even volume throughout.
- With a small round brush, blow-dry each section upwards and immediately pin curl to allow hair to cool off with the desired amount of volume.
- Now that the foundation is prepped, remove all pins and brush each curl out while spraying Wella Professionals EIMI Stay Firm Hair Finishing Spray.
- Then, end with a spritz of Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist for extra shine and part the hair on the side for a more elegant and exagerrated silhouette.
