How-To: Whitney Peak's Met Gala 2023 Hair Look

Actress Whitney Peak turned heads on the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala in Chanel with Hollywood Glam hair. 

Her look was created by celebrity hairstylist Naeemah LaFond (@naeemahlafond) using products from Moroccanoil. 

"“We wanted to do some old Hollywood vibes so we decided on these sleek but textured finger waves,” said LaFond. “The Moroccanoil Hair Gel left her hair mailable enough to mold and show her natural wave pattern in between the sculpted wave while the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense helped protect her hair before blow drying to set the final look. These hero products really helped pull this look together.”

How-To:

1. Prior to styling, prep hair by wetting it down fully and apply a dime size amount of Moroccanoil Treatment or Moroccanoil Treatment Light for finer hair and lighter tones to create the perfect foundation for styling. 
2. Next, create a deep side part with a fine tooth comb using the Moroccanoil Styling Gel to create a clean part.
3. Separate front of hair from back of hair, starting behind the ear, and apply a few pumps of Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse and Moroccanoil Styling Gel to back of the hair; sleek with smoothing brush and secure back section with a hair bungee.
4. Apply Moroccanoil Styling Gel to the front section and comb through front section with a fine-tooth comb to define waves.
5. Begin to create finger waves by using finger and comb to manipulate hair into a “C” formation.
6. To protect against thermal damage, spray hair with Moroccanoil Limited Edition Perfect Defense.
7. Set using the Moroccanoil Infrared Hair Dryer with diffuser attachment.
8. Pin back of hair up in sections folding hair into waves and curls as you pin.
9. Lastly, add Moroccanoil Treatment to a few waves for a pop of shine and spray with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray, Strong.
