Dascha Polanco's Quick Trick for Voluminous Hair at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards

Dascha Polanco, who most of us know in her role as Dayanara Diaz on Orange is the New Black, rocked a low-key glam look on the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet tonight.

Polanco was styled by Cynthia Alvarez for Dove, who shared the inspiration behind the look and how to recreate the edgy look at home.

“To start the look I used Dove Style+Care Volume Amplifier Mousse on her damp roots to add natural volume,” Alvarez explained via email. “I then parted her hair on the side (above the arch of her brow) and began twisting her hair towards the nape of her neck. I secured the end of the twist by crisscrossing two bobby pins.”

“The rest of her hair was blow-dried using a big round brush, pin curling each section as I went along,” Alvarez told us. “Once all the hair was pin curled, I placed a few metal cuffs onto the twist to add a unique flair to her hair. I lightly sprayed the twist with Dove Style+Care Flexible Hold Hairspray to tame any flyaways.”

Alvarez explained how she finished the look, saying, “I removed the pins and ran my fingers through the curls to create a windswept effect and loosen up the waves.

To set the look, I used Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray while lightly back-combing the roots. The final effect is a classic look personalized with jewelry.”
