Angela Bassett looked stunning at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2023, where she won Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” 

Stylist Randy Stodghill created Bassett’s hair look for the night using products from PHYTO.

“Angela is a sophisticated woman who has style and class,” Stodghill says about his inspiration for Bassett’s look. “She doesn’t follow trends or try to be something she’s not–and this is what we wanted to capture in her look tonight!”

How-To: 

  1. Using a medium-size round brush, blow dry hair. Use Phytovolume Volumizing Blow Dry Spray for maximum volume. Stylist Randy Stodghill created Angela Bassett's Critics' Choice Awards hair look using products from PHYTO.Stylist Randy Stodghill created Angela Bassett's Critics' Choice Awards hair look using products from PHYTO.courtesy of @hairjunkierandy
  2. Before curling hair, use Phytospecific Baobab Oil from roots to ends, massaging it throughout the scalp and hair as a protector and for added smoothness.
  3. Divide the hair into medium sections to curl with a 1 1/2" curling iron, spraying each section with Phytolaque Soie for firm hold, and then again all over the look for lasting hold.
  4. Finish the look by using Phytodefrisant Anti-Frizz Touch Up Care to smooth the hairline.
