Jane the Virgin returns tonight (The CW, 9/8c), and we’re celebrating with hairstyling tips from on set stylists Michelle Rene Elam (Department Head Hair) and Tena Parker Baker (Key Hair).
Golden Globe Winner, Gina Rodriguez, stays true to her character (Jane) by sticking to lively and bouncy hair. “To keep it healthy and top shape I use heat protectants, mostly White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Thermal Styling Spray and then Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Neuro Unclipped 1.25″ Styling Cone to set her whimsical locks,” says Michelle. “She has a copious amount of hair, so I often flat iron the roots with my T3 Singlepass styling iron to keep it snug to her head.” She also uses White Sands Orchids Oil to keep her hair in place throughout the day.
Petra Solano, played by Yael Groblas, keeps it simple and classy. Michelle uses “Living Proof Restore Target Repair Cream on her ends, then mist her hair all over with White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Thermal Styling Spray to protect and smooth during the blow dry while using a T3 anti-gravity 2.5″ Barrel Ceramic Brush to create smooth volume.”
Tena styles Andrea Navedo’s character, Xiomara Villanueva, using White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Thermal Styling Spray on her wet hair to keep her hair looking fun, young, and healthy. “Her style is maintained throughout long days with White Sands Orchids Oil and Aerogel Styling Spray, keeping shine, shape, and soft hold along with a Mason Pearson brush forming the soft waves,” says Tena.
Rose, played by Bridget Regan, has the ideal trophy wife, flawless hair going on. To complete the look, Tena also sprays White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Thermal Styling Spray on her luscious locks to keep the full look. “During the round brush blow dry, I use T3 Body Waver to work volume into her heavy luxurious hair,” explains Tena.
