Latto’s BET Awards Bun Was A Lesson In Sleek Luxury

While Latto’s sheer black gown brought the drama at the BET Awards, celebrity hairstylist Ashanti Lation turned to tgin (Thank God It’s Natural) products to create a sleek, sculpted bun that took the opposite approach.

Inspired by understated luxury, the hairstyle featured clean lines, mirror-like shine and a polished finish that allowed the gown’s silhouette and jewellery to take centre stage.

“The inspiration was modern elegance with quiet confidence,” Ashanti explained. “Her gown already made a bold statement, so I wanted the hair to bring balance through clean lines, immaculate shine and timeless sophistication. The sleek, sculpted bun allowed every detail, from the silhouette to the jewellery, to shine.”

As with every sleek style, preparation began with healthy hair. Ashanti prepped Latto’s hair using the tgin Balance Collection, starting with the Balance Serum and Scalp Exfoliator before cleansing with the Balance Collection Scalp Clarifying Shampoo. She followed with the Quench 3-N-1 Co-Conditioner and Detangler to restore moisture and improve manageability before applying the Miracle Styling 3-N-1 Heat Protectant Spray ahead of the blow-dry.

Once the hair was smooth and dry, Ashanti used the Miracle Styling Water Activated Curling Gel to create the sleek foundation before securing the bun. The Miracle Styling Smooth & Sleek Wax Stick refined the hairline and controlled flyaways, while a few drops of Miracle Styling Ayurvedic Hair & Scalp Oil delivered the glossy finish. A final mist of the Miracle Styling 3-N-1 Heat Protectant Spray completed the look with lightweight shine.

The finished style demonstrated that a sleek bun can be just as impactful as an elaborate updo, especially when healthy, well-prepared hair becomes part of the overall statement.
