Believe it or not, it's all straight from the drugstore.
That said, this is relatively common for stars and their glam-team entourage: The final ensemble has a major influence on the hair and makeup. Stephen explains that they initially had an entirely different direction in mind for the vibe for MTV Awards, but ended up going another way after seeing the dress. The August Getty minidress Zendaya wore for the night called for a sleek and defined look, says Stephen.
To get that wet sheen, Stephen smoothed a hard gel from the roots to the mid-lengths of Zendaya's hair in small sections to make sure every single piece of hair was coated before combing the front layers behind her ears.
Here, you'll see Stephen's tools of the trade. Getting a sneak peek at what stars use behind closed doors is cool, but finding out it's almost entirely from the drugstore is even better.
When perfecting the wet look on Zendaya's natural waves, Stephen revived the curl a bit with protectant spray, texturizing hair cream, and a sea-salt spray, to create body and shape without any of the frizz.
