Unlocking Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Hair: A Stylist’s Guide

Beyoncé’s recent UK tour showcased not only her incredible talent but also her stunning hairstyles. Her honey blonde hair remained flawlessly sleek throughout each three-hour performance, defying gravity with its volume and movement. Despite the intense choreography, her hair retained its remarkable shine and texture.

Lead stylist Neal Farinah, responsible for Beyoncé’s tour looks, reveals the secrets behind this captivating style. He draws inspiration from classic Texas hairstyles, aiming to create a modern interpretation of the iconic honey blonde blowout, paying homage to the “Cowboy Carter” blonde theme.

The outcome is a vibrant, dynamic style that’s both full-bodied and fluid. Farinah stresses the importance of movement over stiffness, avoiding any overly structured styles.

Given the limited time available before each performance, Farinah focuses on high-performance products for efficiency. He employs a three-product system to achieve and maintain Beyoncé’s hair throughout the night.

The foundation is Cécred Moisture Sealing Lotion, a versatile product that hydrates, defines curls, and seals split ends to prevent frizz and maintain smoothness. This lotion ensures the style holds, even under intense stage lighting and potential humidity.

Next, Farinah uses Cécred Nourishing Hair Oil, a blend of thirteen oils that adds shine and seals in hydration. This enhances the hair’s fluidity and movement throughout the performance.

Finally, the Cécred Vented Paddle Brush is used for quick touch-ups during costume changes. Its wide bristles facilitate smooth detangling and styling, ensuring Beyoncé’s hair remains picture-perfect.

With this simple yet effective approach, you can bring a touch of Beyoncé’s iconic Cowboy Carter hair to your own style.
