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:

How To Create Lady Gaga’s Oscar Hairstyle

1. Prep hair with Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo followed by Joico Defy Damage Protective Masque for five minutes.

2. Towel dry.

3. Apply 2 -3 pumps of Joico Defy Damage Protective Shield and comb through using GHD wide-tooth comb.

4. Apply 1-2 pumps of Joico Blonde LIFE Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil to damp hair, creating super shine and softness. Comb through with a GHD paddle brush.
