How to Create Lady Gaga’s Oscars Hairstyle With Joico

Stylist Frédéric Aspiras used Joico Defy Damage Protective Shield on Lady Gaga’s hair for the 2019 Oscars.

Lady Gaga took home the Oscar for “Shallow” for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards, along with co-writers Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomondo. “There’s a discipline for passion,” shared Gaga in her acceptance speech. “And it’s not about how many times you get rejected, you fall down, or you’re beaten. It’s about how many times you stand up, are brave, and you keep going.”

Gaga’s classic upswept updo was created by stylist Frédéric Aspiras using Joico Defy Damage Protective Shield. Here’s how he created the stunning look:
