How Zoe Saldana Got Perfect Waves for the London Premiere of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’


“It was very airy, light, and romantic,” says Roszak, who prepper Saldana’s lengths with her own RŌZ Santa Lucia Styling Oil before rough drying and creating waves with a 1-inch curling iron. “We wanted to mimic some of that with the hair look. It ended up being very film noir but with a modern twist to keep it fresh.” To finish what Roszak calls “an ethereal and feminine take on deconstructed classic waves,” the hairstylist set the curls with pins and a spritz of Leonor Greyl Voluforme Hair Spray, a touch of RŌZ Willow Glen Treatment Oil (the product was applied to Saldana’s body, as well) offering additional, though subtle, shine. “Zoe has the most amazing luxurious hair, which I focused on emphasizing with the soft, cascading waves,” she says.
