Get the Look! Kether Donohue’s Voluptuous Waves by Joico’s Paul Norton

Joico’s Celebrity Hairstylist Paul Norton proved he could match the ‘Pitch Perfect’ 1 & 2 star’s talents with his own, behind the chair!

Thanks to him, Kether Donohue was “pitch perfect” posing with her ‘Grease: Live’s’ co-stars, all of whom went for a dark but flirty style at this year’s People’s Choice Awards. We decided to tip-toe our way into the hair world of People’s Choice to get some tips on how Paul created this wonderful look:

Since it was pouring down rain out side and we knew we wanted big body curls/waves pushed to ones side: I began by using Joico Power Gel sculpting gel on damp hair and blowing it out with a medium sized boar bristle round brush until fully dry.”

Next I created a deep side part on her right side, after which I used a 1 1/4 inch curling iron to set the hair, placing some sections under, and some sections over the hair to give different directions to each wave. For each section I sprayed Joico Design Works styling spray to enforce my curls hold, while still working the hair. I set each curl with a silver hair clamp.”

The most important part of my process was the fact that I let the hair cool for 20 min. Next I released the clamps and had her lean her head all the way back and then applied Joico K-PAK Protect and Shine Serum, using my fingers to comb through the entire head and then swept it to the left side.”

I used Joico Flip Turn Volumizing Finishing spray to confine the right side close to the head as well as placing two bobby pins for hold. I then gently back-combed sections of the curls just so they would stay together for the most part.”

Finally, I used more Flip Turn to eliminate any fly-aways and over the entire head to finish the look and make sure it kept it’s hold.”
