At the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, California, Halle Berry shined on the red carpet in her sparkling gown and voluminous curls. Her go-to stylist, Castillo, used MOP salon haircare products to create this glamorous and whimsical look.

Inspired by "natural beauty, natural curls," Castillo started with MOP mixed greens shampoo and conditioner to moisturize her hair. While it was damp, he added MOP lemongrass whip to her roots for lift and added volume, then applied the MOP c-curl defining cream to midshaft through the ends.

Next, he blow dried and diffused sections of her hair. As soon as the hair was completely dry, Castillo used the T3 Whirl Trio Curling Iron to create different sized curls to clean up her style.

Lastly, he sealed the entire look in with the MOP c-system hairspray.

“It was a joint process, that took around two weeks to decide on," said Castillo. "Halle’s been wearing her hair natural lately and we really wanted to create a style that embodied her whimsical spirit. She was blown away with the finished look, she said she felt absolutely amazing.”
