MET Gala - Stylist reveals how she styled JACOB ELORDI'S hair


Amy Komorowski STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE to achieve Jacob Elordi’s MET Gala hair style

@akgroomer

Inspiration: “For Jacob’s MET Gala look this year, I wanted the hair to look polished yet effortless, with just the right about of volume and texture.” - Amy Komorowski

LOOK BREAKDOWN

I always start by prepping the hair, which creates a foundation for the rest of the styling products to build upon. I sprayed American Crew® Prep & Prime Tonic evenly throughout the entire head of hair and used my fingers to refresh the hair. It adds a light hold and texture for increased control and manageability.

Next, I followed up with American Crew’s new Matte Clay Spray which adds even more texture and body. I sprayed a few pumps just to the front part of the hair and used my fingers to add lift to the roots.

With a hairdryer on low speed, I continued to use my fingers to create lift at the roots. I continued to set and style the hair, until completely dry leaving the hair with effortless texture.

I styled with a mixture of American Crew® Cream Pomade first then followed up with a bit of American Crew® Matte Clay. The Cream Pomade provides moisture and conditioning benefits plus adds a bit of shine.

Lastly, I took a dime sized amount of American Crew® Matte Clay, rubbed it between the palms of my hands and focused on the ends of the hair for extra hold and definition. 

American Crew® Matte Clay Spray

American Crew®, America’s #1 Styling Brand*, introduces the NEW Matte Clay Spray, an oil-absorbing, texturizing spray that provides a strong medium hold and matte look that lasts all day long.

Formulated with the same hero ingredient in the Original Matte Clay, Kaolin Clay, the new spray formula helps control frizz, adds thickness, and enhances natural hair waves. Receive all the benefits of a clay with long lasting hold while adding volume and texture for a quick and easy- to-use styling routine.

“I love that Matte Clay Spray’s lightweight formula doesn't add any weight or shine to hair while still adding major texture and body,” says American Crew Founder David Raccuglia. “It’s ideal for creating a laid back, relaxed look, while still providing a clean, styled finish that American Crew is acclaimed for.”
