See below for details on how Danilo created Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry’s hairstyles last night for the Met Gala. Please note that the pictures below are just for a reference:



“Gwen’s dress was made from a gold, vintage thread fabric from the 30’s, and we wanted to honor the ethereal flow by creating a chic silhouette from head to toe. I created a dramatic, contemporary twist inspired by Grace Kelly and the Hitchcock film goddesses.

After washing her hair for a clean base, I applied the new Pantene Pro-V Color Nourishing Treatment, left it in for 5 minutes, and rinsed. I always opt to treat hair before a night of styling, especially on color-treated hair, so it is soft and appears in its healthiest form for the lights and cameras. On her wet hair, I evenly spritzed the new Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Heat Protection & Shine Spray to prep for the blow dry. Midway through, I focused on her roots by spraying them with the Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Spray Gel to help thicken her roots to support the grand bouffant. After blow drying, I pulled all of her hair back, pinning hair in place to create the lift, and used my fingers to form piecey rows on the top of her hair so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. To finish the look, I used the new Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Anti-Humidity Hairspray to keep her hair frizz-free in the horrible NYC humidity.”



“Katy’s been incredibly fun to work with this year because she loves to experiment with varied retro styles while still keeping the charm of old-school glamour. The look I created tonight was very 50’s Liz Taylor, hair pulled off the face with a sea of black waves.

To style her classic glamour set, I first started by washing hair with a clean base. Then, I sprayed hair with the new Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Detangler to condition hair with a silky finish before the blow dry. I used both a round brush and finger tousles to create the glamour waves, then lightly sprayed them with new Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Touchable Hairspray for a finishing hold. The front of Katy’s hair was simply pulled to the side, twisted, and pinned in place. Katy’s dress was made specifically for her, so I wanted to make sure that her hair was just as flashing (literally) as the dress.”

Note: The new Pantene products are launching in-stores in June.
