Chappell Roan: Voluminous and Textured Perfection

Stylist Dom Forletta teamed up with Wavytalk to create Chappell Roan’s stunning, voluminous curls. Forletta shared, "The inspiration behind Chappell's hair tonight was to create something that authentically matched her—but bigger and better."

Dom used the smallest barrel from the Wavytalk Curlmaker Pro Rotating Curling Iron Set, alternating the direction of each curl to add movement and texture. For added dimension, he wrapped random sections around hairpins and gently flat-ironed them using the Vent Sesh Wide Flat Iron. Dom separated the curls with his fingers, loosening them for a soft, textured look that lasted through the night—even after Chappell transitioned to her all-down style.

💡 Pro Tip: Alternate curl directions to add natural movement and always finish with a light hairspray for hold without stiffness.

Gracie Abrams: Effortless Shine with Soft Movement

For Gracie Abrams, stylist Bobby Eliot leaned into simplicity and elegance to complement her custom Chanel dress. Shine was the name of the game. Eliot noted, "The inspiration for Gracie’s hair is shine! We wanted the hair to be effortless and simple to complement the dress and for the hair to feel moveable and soft." To achieve this timeless look, Bobby trusted Wavytalk tools for precision and shine-enhancing results:

Bobby prepped Gracie’s hair with the Turblow Pro Fast Drying Hair Dryer, drying it to 80% before switching to the Heatwave Pro Thermal Brush Set for a sleek, glossy base. He added soft beveled edges using the Cool Curl Airflow Styler and Straightener, ensuring her hair looked moveable and effortless all night.

💡 Pro Tip: Use an ionic thermal brush to lock in shine and always bevel the ends for a polished, runway-ready finish.

Lady Gaga: The Sleek Jellyfish Haircut

Lady Gaga’s trendy jellyfish haircut was one of the standout beauty moments of the night, with its edgy structure and glossy finish. While we didn’t style her directly, here’s how you can achieve a similar look using the Steamline Pro Steam Straightener Brush:

Prep your hair with a heat protectant and be sure to detangle while evenly sectioning your hair for smooth gliding. Use the Steamline Pro to create sleek, silky strands while locking in moisture. Apply a lightweight serum for a reflective finish that screams red-carpet glam.

💡 Pro Tip: The steam function is a game-changer for reducing frizz while adding hydration.

SZA: Big, Natural Curls Defined

SZA’s signature voluminous curls were a highlight of the night. To recreate her look, our go-to tool would be the Turblow Pro Fast Drying Hair Dryer with a diffuser attachment:

Use the diffuser on medium heat to enhance your natural curl pattern. Place curls in the diffuser barrel before turning on the dryer to minimize stray hairs and create perfectly shaped spirals. Flip your head upside down while diffusing to add volume at the roots. Scrunch in a curl cream or mousse for added definition.

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid over-drying with the diffuser—leave a bit of moisture in your curls for bounce and softness.

Taylor Swift: Loose, Defined Waves with Bangs

Taylor Swift’s retro-inspired bangs and loose waves perfectly blended timeless elegance with modern flair. Here’s how you can recreate this stunning look with Wavytalk tools:

Use the 1.5” Thermal Brush attachment from the Multi Curl 5-in-1 Curling Wand Set to shape and style your bang. Roll the brush inward to create a soft, curved finish that frames the face beautifully. Using the 1.25” Curling Wand attachment from the Multi Curl set, wrap small sections of hair around the barrel, holding for a few seconds. Loosen the curls slightly with your fingers for a more natural finish.

💡 Pro Tip: For natural-looking waves, alternate the direction of each curl (away from and toward the face).
