Creating the airy look, Paula used a mix of Paul Mitchell products to achieve the finished style. Keep reading to see exactly how to get the Met Gala look!
Quannah Chasinghorse: Met Gala 2023 Waves + Braids
- Start with a solid foundation to maintain the style by applying Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam to clean, damp hair.
- Create a deep side part and blow-dry using Paul Mitchell ProTools Express Ion+ Hair Dryer and Paul Mitchell ProTools 427 Paddle Brush
- Then braid along the hairline by adding hair from the left side only and overdirecting hair toward the face with no elevation.
- Create a second braid behind the first one, overdirecting forward and adding from the left side only.
- On the other side of the parting, create a braid parallel to the parting, using the same technique, adding from only one side.
- Apply Paul Mitchell Hot Off the Press to all of the hair.
- Starting at the nape, wave all of the hair using the Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Express Ion Wave Press.
- Spray Extra Body Finishing Spray to all of the hair and let it cool completely for hold and humidity resistance.
- Emulsify a small amount of Paul Mitchell Gloss Drops in your hands and run through waves, creating a soft, airy texture.
