Kerry Washington – 2017 Golden Globes Hair Breakdown

Celebrity Hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew breaks down Kerry’s red carpet look

When I saw Kerry’s Dolce and Gabana dress, I was truly inspired to go with a simple, sleek hairstyle with colour.  I felt like the dress was very traditional and had an elaborate design that called for a very simplistic, sleek, smoothed out hairstyle with colour and very slight body in the hair. 

Get the look!

I shampooed Kerry’s hair with Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo and conditioned her hair with Neutrogena Triple Repair Deep Recovery Hair Mask. The conditioner gave Kerry’s hair a really nice shine as well as softened her hair strands. 

Secondly, I blew out her damp hair with the GHD Air Elite Blow Dryer and used the GHD size 3 Ceramic Vented Radial Brush to straighten her natural hair. Then I parted her hair across the back at the nape and smoothed out her hair with the GHD Platinum Flat Iron and worked my way throughout her hair to finish off the look. I love this flat iron because of it’s even heat and all you need is one stroke across the hair to smooth it out.

To finish off her hairstyle, I parted her hair on the left side because I thought it complemented the dress well. Then I parted her hair in the back and clipped in TSD Hair Extensions Straight. In the middle, I clipped in the soft brown clip ins; custom coloured by me and finished off the hairstyle by clipping in the blonde TSD Hair Extensions around her face.
