In this edition of “Get The Look”, I want to share with you how to get one of rising actress Tessa Thompson’s looks in the award-winning “Dear White People,” which opened Friday (Oct. 17) in select theaters.
As lead hairstylist for the film, I created multiple looks, from Tyler James William’s afro wig featured on the official movie poster and Teyonah Parris’ weaved look to Thompson’s double chignon updo. Thompson’s hair is a naturalistas playground, so making the look was one of my favorite creations in the film…
To Get Tessa’s Hair Look:
Start with damp, conditioned and detangled hair. Apply a styling foam and light gel for curl definition, volume and hold. For this style I recommend Aveda Phomollient and Confixor Liquid Gel.
Part the top third of hair from temple to temple and clip it out of the way.
