Meghann Fahy was a breakout star this year, with her role in The White Lotus earning her well-deserved accolades and an Emmy Nomination for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. In a short amount of time, Fahy has quickly learned how to captivate red-carpet viewers with her classic yet striking looks. Celebrity hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg, who often works with Fahy, says for the star’s glossy Emmy Awards blowout the inspiration was her “gorgeous, red velvet dress. We wanted to ensure that her hair felt effortless while still feeling soft and undone against the dress.”
The secret to Meghan Fahy’s soft-looking hair
Something we’re always perplexed and in awe of is how soft and touchable Fahy’s hair always looks. Every time she hits a red carpet, we yearn to run our hands through her strands, but we’ll leave that to her boyfriend Leo Woodall. We asked Rozenberg how he gets her hair so soft because our new New Year’s resolution is to achieve this level of silky hair.
“Meghann’s hair is color-treated, so I always want to make sure I start with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner and use products that have heat protection in them but still feel lightweight like the new TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray ($8),” says Rozenberg. This spray, which is used on damp hair, “gives hair an added gloss to any style that helps make hair look and feel amazing.”
Rozenberg then used TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse ($7) to create added hold. “I blow dried in sections using a round brush and added Velcro rollers to the crown and back of her hair, leaving the front down to feel more natural,” explains Rozenberg. “I lightly misted the dry hair with the TRESemmé Protecting Heat Spray ($7), then flat ironed from the roots to the midsection of the hair, leaving the ends free.”
Pro tip: he finished his process with a “cold air blow dryer to seal the cuticle.” We marveled at how the hair has held up all night, especially the face-framing pieces. He credits TRESemmé Extra Hold Hairspray ($11) for this feat. “For this look, I wanted the face-framing pieces to feel natural and a little more undone, so I lightly misted them from about 10 inches away, ensuring they had hold and frizz protection while maintaining their natural movement.”
