How To Recreate Lady Gaga’s House of Gucci Hair At Home

Award season is right around the corner and the spotlight is on House of Gucci! The film has made it on the Oscar shortlist in makeup and hairstyling, with Lady Gaga’s transformation into Patrizia Reggiani being the highlight. For this iconic role, Gaga turned to her personal hairstylist of many years and Joico celebrity hairstylist, Frederic Aspiras.

Aspiras reveals how intricate Gaga’s hair styling really was, explaining, “I had to be as authentic as possible by using the exact techniques as a hairdresser of the 1970s: wet-set rolls, back-combing, French lacing, spiral perms—you name it. It was done exactly to the T from that era.” It was important to both him and Gaga that what came across on the screen was to “not see Lady Gaga,” but the character of Patrizia.

Below, a closer look at some of the iconic style creations that landed this nomination, and how to recreate them at home yourself. —Vita Daily
