The newly-brunette and newlywed star (he simply wed actor Lukas Gage in late April) took a minute to talk with us and share a few of his finest suggestions for summer season hair and the seems to be he’s beloved most from the final yr.
How does it really feel to be a brunette and stray out of your signature platinum blonde?
“The blonde was a long-time factor. I had it for six years, and Colour Wow performed a job in it as a part of my branding. Everybody knew me as a blonde, so each time I considered altering it, I hesitated. While you stroll right into a room as a blonde, individuals discover you, however while you’re brunette, it’s fairly the identical. My hair was so fried and onerous to handle. It by no means appeared pretty much as good as when it was first bleached. When there was a little bit of root progress, it was okay, however when it was an excessive amount of root and frosted suggestions turned an issue for picture shoots or red-carpet occasions. If the roots have been too noticeable, I couldn’t contact them up as a result of it could look loopy after bleaching. Finally, I needed to preserve slicing it off due to the injury. I used to spend 5 hours sitting there each time I needed to colour my hair, and it could give me a horrible headache. Blow-drying turned tough too; it felt like coping with a sponge that may break and fall out. So, I made this alteration for the sake of my hair’s well being.”
What are your high suggestions for attaining the perfect summer season hair?
“My primary game-changing tip is the brand new Colour Wow Further Power Dream Coat ($32). That is excellent for these fighting frizz or hair that received’t keep in place after blow-drying. It has superb waterproof expertise to maintain your model intact and offers deep hydration. It’s splendid for individuals with dehydrated or very curly hair who have to tame their mane. If you happen to dwell in Miami, a moist atmosphere, and even wet areas, this product will preserve your model in place. There’s no different product prefer it in the marketplace, so if you happen to haven’t tried it, give it a shot. It’s extremely moisturizing and it took a very long time to develop the expertise to mix waterproof properties and hydration. That’s why I’m so excited to make use of it through the summer season and all yr spherical.
Tip quantity two is the hydration station. Ensure that so as to add moisture to your hair, particularly within the warmth. My Cash Masque ($45), that I did in collaboration with Colour Wow, is a tremendous remedy which you could depart in your hair. Apply it after being within the water or when styling slicked-back buns or excessive ponytails. It not solely retains your hair wanting nice but additionally situations it.
For tip quantity three, I at all times advocate doing unfastened braids earlier than going to sleep for second-day hair in the summertime. While you get up, you’ll have effortlessly styled, lovely, and barely undone texture. I typically do that with hair extensions to attain a relaxed look. It’s cooler than utilizing a curling iron and excellent for the summer season.”
Congrats in your latest nuptuals. How has married life been? And have you ever binge watched all of his reveals?
“It’s fascinating to have a accomplice who can be within the public eye as a result of once we’re working, we painting totally different personas. At residence, we get to see the true individual. I haven’t watched his reveals. I’ve by no means seen White Lotus, however I do get pleasure from watching clips of his work, particularly when he writes films as a result of I do know they arrive from his tales. When he’s enjoying a job, it’s probably not him. I do know he’s a gifted actor, so I don’t want to look at all the things. It’s totally different from my work. If I do a major challenge, he’ll watch it, but it surely’s not essential. Getting married has been an fascinating expertise. It’s been a whirlwind, but additionally a number of enjoyable.”
Which of your latest celeb seems to be are you most pleased with?
“Kim’s Met Gala Hair, then in all probability the Dolce and Gabbana blonde part that Kim was in with that Bardot look. Everybody actually beloved the shorter lob. It was similar to a unique Kim. I really like that form of period. That was actually enjoyable and he or she was doing all these things. I miss that hair. Additionally, Jenny’s marriage ceremony look. It was impressed by Priscilla Presley. That’s my favourite as a result of clearly that was a very huge second.”
