Sky Ferreira: New Wave Obsession

When music sensation Sky Ferreira wanted a head-turning new look for her latest video, Obsession, she turned once again to her mane man, celebrity stylist Rob Talty of the Magnet Agency. “The idea was to wake up the natural movement of Sky’s incredible hair,” says Rob. “I wanted to perfect her waves, adding volume and a weightless airiness, while keeping waves under control.”



Here’s how Rob created Sky’s naturally tousled, textured waves:

« To prep hair for styling, I started with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo ($5.99) and Conditioner ($6.19 - $6.99). Next, I applied a mixture of equal amounts of the new René Furterer Vegetal Mousse and Moroccan Oil Hydrating Styling Cream ($28) to small sections of wet hair. The mousse adds volume and control as it hydrates, while the oil reduces frizz and boosts shine. Using a thick paddle brush detangles hair as it distributes product evenly.

« To bring out hair’s natural waves and add movement, I scrunched sections, and then diffused hair with a T3 Tourmaline Evolution Blow Dryer ($220) set on high heat, low airflow.

« Once hair was almost dry, I spritzed it with new René Furterer Finishing Spray and used a small Mason Pearson brush to finish drying the hair framing Sky’s face and around her part. A touch of Klorane Gentle dry shampoo with oat milk at the roots fluffs up hair and adds volume.

« Next, I finished the ends with a small, 3/4-inch curling iron, twisting the hair as it’s wrapped around the iron and directing it away from the face. Each section is released after a few seconds to achieve a soft, loose wave rather than an obvious curl.

« After finishing all ends, I had Sky shake her head, and then ran my hands through her waves. Last, a misting with L’Oréal Elnett Satin Hairspray.
