Adir Abergel X Denman for the Oscars
Styling actresses Nicole Kidman and Kristen Wiig for the 98th Academy Awards.
Virtue® Labs Creative Director and Celebrity Hairstylist Adir Abergel styled award-winning actresses Nicole Kidman and Kristen Wiig for the 98th Academy Awards, using Virtue®, Denman, Wavytalk, and BELLAMI products to achieve the look. Nicole’s gorgeous blowout was the perfect compliment to that sensational Chanel gown.
THE INSPIRATION: An ultra glamorous shiny, polished blowout.
THE LOOK: An extra-long tousled blowout with loose cascading layers that frame the face, finished with soft middle-parted bangs.
STYLING HOW TO
1. The night before I always like to have my clients start with Virtue Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner to get hair as shiny and healthy as possible before the big day.
2. The morning of the event on towel dried hair I use my favorite Denman D38 Detangling & Styling Paddle Brush to delicately brush out any knots. I then followed by applying Virtue Damage Reverse Serum and a few pumps of Healing Oil to help protect and reverse damage in hair prior to blowout.
3. To get that extra volume where it’s needed, I applied Virtue Volumizing Primer right on the roots and followed by applying the 6-in-1 Styler from mids to ends to create memory, shine and texture where needed.
4. And then using my Denman D3 Curl Definer and Styler Brush and my lightweight, fast drying Turnblow Pro from Wavytalk, I focused on lifting the roots.
5. Once the roots were almost dry, I smoothed out her hair using a Denman Head Hugger Brush for that tousled full, sexy blowout.
6. Now it was time for that extra length and pop of hair color with the help of BELLAMI Silk Seam Clip-In and Tape-In extensions.
7. To get the hair to feel the most natural looking, I like to choose various colors starting with the darker tones by the nape, then mid tones through the middle and hi lighted colors right through the top. For Nicole I chose: 18” Silk Seam Clip-Ins in Dirty Blonde and Golden Hour Blonde, and 18” Tape-Ins in Golden Amber Blonde.
8. Once the extensions blended seamlessly, I took a straight razor and cut all my layers into the extensions to blend perfectly.
9. To create the newly interpreted Moulin Rouge waves, I used WavyTalk Cool Curl Pencil to put in those natural bends where needed.
10. To finish this look and to give it that extra glitter and shine, I heated up some Healing Oil on my hands, tilted her head and tousled her long golden locks.
