How To Get Rihanna’s Hairstyle
Who created Rihanna‘s hairstyle at the Met Gala 2021?
For the epic return of the Met Gala 2021, Rihanna wore a much-anticipated look created by celebrity hair artist Yusef Williams. He has been styling Rihanna’s locks since 2008.
What kind of style did Rihanna wear to the Met Gala?

Yousef emphasized a “couture streetwear” style that could well trend this winter season. “I decided to combine cornrows and romantic tendrils for a couture/streetwear vibe,” he shares. The look was topped with a beanie and a hint of a jeweled scull cap showcasing the loose, flowing tendrils.
What products were used for Rihanna’s Met Galal hair?

Yusef used British M K-Beauty luxury salon products, the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer, and Y by Yusef brushes to create the look. “Scalp and hair wellness is important,” he explains. “I started with gentle new British M Kombucha Shampoo to cleanse and nourish hair and used scalp-friendly new British M Kombucha Mask (with Kombucha, Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Propolis, and Royal Jelly) for longer-lasting hydration.”
British M Annatto Hair Oil and Hydrate Hair Butter offer weightless moisture and control, which can be used to prep braids. The heat from the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer helped to quickly penetrate these intensely nourishing products deeper into braids.
British M Annatto Hair Oil was applied to finished braids for natural-looking shine and British M Hard Tailor Spray finished the look.
How can I create the look at home?

Follow this step-by-step guide by Yusef to recreate Rihanna’s Met Gala hairstyle on your own.
Step 1. Shampoo and condition using British M Kombucha Shampoo and British M Kombucha Hair Mask to nourish and hydrate hair.
Step 2. Use The Y by Yusef Cushion Paddle Brush to easily detangle and smooth hair.
Step 3. Hold sectioned hair with Yusef 6ct. Alligator Clip Kit and blow dry using Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer with Wide-tooth Comb attachment.
Step 4. Mix British M Hydrate Hair Butter and British M Annatto Hair Oil to prep braids for weightless moisture, shine and control. Braids are secured at the hairline leaving loose flowing tendrils around sides, nape and framing her face. An award-winning K-Beauty cult favorite, Annatto Hair Oil is made with Amazonian annatto, organic pumpkin and argan oils to nourish, shine, smooth and strengthen hair. It instantly absorbs into hair for natural-looking and longer-lasting shine and silky smooth, frizz-free results.
Step 5 . Apply British M Annatto Hair Oil to braids and tame flyaways with British M Hard Tailor Spray.
Step 6. Use the Yusef 2pk toothbrush with sectioning pin for baby hair sculpting.
