Lupita Nyong’o At ‘DuJour’ Lunch — Stunning Hair Look
Ted described the look for the
DuJour magazine winter luncheon: “I started off getting her ready for her luncheon for
DuJour magazine. I love creating different looks for her.
Today was about simple elegance. I used two different kinds of wax to add shine and control. Women with natural hair are always concerned about flyaways and shine. I then used a strong controlled hairspray to add more shine and to create shape.”
Lupita On ‘David Letterman’
She switched it up for the talk show! Ted tells
HollywoodLife.com: “Adding hair, even to shorter hair, can be fun and sexy! I added hair extensions to Lupita’s natural hairstyle for
Letterman, which is something any woman can create at home! All you need is a strong holding gel and loose, textured hair extensions.
Apply the gel to your head then take the hair and put it on top of the gel on your hair. After you have applied the hair, you can actually shape it into place with your hands and create the shape that you want.
I molded Lupita’s hair to create a soft mohawk, pompadour-like shape. Be sure to finish it off with a holding hairspray to keep it all in place.”
