The hairstylist tells how to copy the color, finish and cut used by the artist
Singer Shakira’s hair is one of the most striking features of her public image, serving as her trademark. The long, wavy, blond locks are an extension of the artist’s personality, conveying a message of harmony, lightness, movement and joy.
Next, hair stylist Rodrigo Cintra, co-host of the show Esquadrão da Moda (SBT/Discovery Home & Health), explains how to get inspired by the colour, cut and finish used by the artist. Watch!
1. What is Shakira’s hair like?
Before achieving worldwide fame, Shakira had a different appearance than we know today. Her hair, which is now blonde and wavy, was naturally dark and voluminous, with a natural finish. This look was more typical of the Latin American beauty style, which emphasizes dark hair and cumbersome.
2. Color evolution
Today Shakira is a real chameleon. She’s already invested in warmer, golden blonde tones, with a mix of lighter and darker highlights. This technique is perfect for creating depth and leaving strands with more movement, without that flat color.
She also bet on coppery and reddish tones which, by the way, are great options for autumn. She has also invested in imaginative colors, such as pink and rosé.
The important thing, for those who want to change the shades, is to get help from a hairdresser, so that they can help you choose the color that blends in best. Thus, you can avoid stained, snapped strands, and even frustrations with regards to toning.
3. Treatments for colored hair
The dyeing process begins before bleaching/dyeing. It is imperative that you do a hair program with hydration, nutrition and reconstruction. During the bleaching/colouring process, the hairdresser can use a plex-type product, which protects the strand, allowing the chemistry, but without aggression.
Then, at home, use a range of color-treated hair products, including a color mask, to touch up your strands. Furthermore, it is interesting to go to the salon at least once a month to get a more intense treatment and change your look. Maintenance is also more frequent, as it prevents fading and maintains the shine and health of the capillaries.
4. Cut into layers
Since Shakira has a lot of volume in her hair, you need to invest in a layered cut, as they evenly distribute the proportion, making for a smoother look. It is worth mentioning that the layers should be spaced 2cm apart so that the strands are not marked, thinned or even look broken.
5. The singer bets on several submissions
The singer also likes to vary the endings; one hour he has straight hair and the next, he appears with wavy or curly hair. But how is this possible? To achieve these effects, she resorts to heat tools, such as an iron and a dryer.
In this scenario, it is important to underline that, during their use, it is essential to apply a thermal protector to the strands, so that they do not burn or change colour. Curls, on the other hand, with this more disheveled look, can be created by applying a cream with an activating function and kneading the strands using a towel or a cotton t-shirt.
