Kate Hudson’s Hollywood Waves Are a Lesson in Classic Glamour
Celebrity hairstylist Renato Campora worked with Kate Hudson to create her Hollywood glamour look for the 2026 Academy Museum Gala, featuring glossy, brushed-out waves, sleek roots and a healthy-looking finish, using Joico products.

Prep began with Joico Moisture Recovery Shampoo, followed by a 15-minute treatment with Joico Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque.
On towel-dried hair, he applied Joico Dream Blowout Glass 72HR Frizz Fighter to create a smooth, glass-like foundation. Working in two-inch sections, he applied Joico JoiWhip Design Foam at the roots before blow-drying with a round brush to create volume and a sleek silhouette. He then created a deep side part.

Next, he misted three-inch sections with Joico Heat Hero before curling the mid-lengths and ends with a large-barrel curling iron, keeping the roots smooth and flat. He pinned each curl in place to set.
At the front, he created a softer, flatter curl, which he brushed through to form a fluid, sculpted, face-framing wave. Once the curls had cooled, he removed the pins and gently brushed through the hair to create seamless, flowing waves.

He finished with a mist of Joico Hold Hero High Hold + Shine Boosting Finishing Spray to maintain the style and add shine.
