hi i'm marissa and today i'm going to be
getting my hair done by rihanna stylist
yusef before we get into the
transformation please subscribe below
i love my hair i really do but my hair
is super curly and super dry i think i
had a stylist say to me oh like your
hair has like beautiful curls but then
it dries into
a
bush and i was like that's true it's
true i mean if i could have my hair like
flash frozen when you have a shower i'd
be like
all the time like look at me i think
that i could really rock a wash and go
if my hair kind of stayed
wet
it sounds sounds weird but girls you
know what i'm talking about i'm excited
for yourself to bless my head i want to
oil my scalp and i want him just like
revitalize my look no i'm not nervous at
all i cannot wait lisa i trust you
completely honestly i want to be ariana
but that won't happen overnight but if i
can have like her hair possibly built
the big forehead so i know that
i'm gonna be safe he's talented i'm cute
like it's gonna work hello my name is
yousef celebrity hairstylist here in new
york city i just think we should do
something a little sexy something away
from the face so i might look around at
the end of this video yeah i think so
okay so it's very important when you're
doing wigs that your foundation is very
tamed i always like to braid my
foundation down as small as possible
just so the weight can be flat and
secured i've been doing hair since i was
13 years old i was in the music industry
and here was something that i always did
you know
on my downtime as a hobby i was doing a
lot of fashion i didn't realize it was
happening but before i knew it i was
doing actors and musicians every day
i've never had a wig before
because my arms don't wear wigs i grew
up in a majority like white community
and like wigs weren't the dorm there i
just feel like wearing a wig is the easy
way to change up my look without having
to cut my hair grow out my hair worry
about the health of my hair on the daily
i started working with rihanna
in 2009
a long time ago wow my first time
working with her was paris fashion week
supposed to be with her for like two
days and i wind up staying for the whole
week she just kind of let me go which
was an amazing process because it
allowed me to just do things that i saw
her having like long before i even
worked with her and it just turned out
to be like magic
i don't have
baby hair is there a way to like get
that look where you should actually give
up well most baby hairs are just broken
here okay let's be real
have you ever thought that it looks like
um bacon
this is a thing i never ever
ever thought about that but you are so
right all right so i'm using a little
of the
gel just to give this a more of a
flatter surface and once when it dries
it also helps
the wig stick to her head how far in
advance do you plan out looks like the
night before or sometimes on set we
don't like to feel trapped in like a
look we just go with the flow
what things do is make the newest hair
trend coming up um
other than wigs nowadays like people
want to feel a little bit more like
tamed i feel like that's really
something that i'm seeing a lot not the
like kind of like messy hair and things
like that i feel like women are now like
doing their hair making sure their hair
is in place i think it's like part of
the whole like self-care movement please
the world is so crazy right now the last
thing you want to do is get like lost
and you know be a part of the screaming
nonsense i mean hair plays a big part of
that beauty plays a big part of that
so i'm using the stocking cap and i'm
going to use this as
the base for the lace front let's make
my forehead look smaller
i mean if you want to bring the wig down
here but i don't recommend that i always
say follow your hairline if you're going
to not follow your hairline just go a
tiny bit above it just to protect your
hair so now i'm going to cut the
perimeter of the stocking cap
i know risa talked about making her
forehead smaller
but i love her good forehead so i'm just
bringing it down a little bit above her
natural hairline
there's a wick behind you
i think that yusef is like very
inventive with his hairstyles i loved
around his hair on ocean's eight i
thought the really thick
locks were really cool and amazing and
kind of like paid homage to caribbean
culture i think he really works with his
clients to find styles that work with
their face and their features so it's
not trying to
match a style to a person but it's
creating style around the person which i
think is very cool i always love this
hair it's something that you can do
formal you can dress it up
i'm just going to go in and do like some
messy layers
nothing to contrive
[Music]
what i'm going to do is just take these
extra long pieces of hair and use a
razor and just kind of like erratically
cut them and that's how we'll create our
gorgeous little baby hair drama
all right marissa do you want to see
what we came up with
i look so sexy is that just me no this
is the this is the idea you are cute
i mean you were cute you came back you
look good girl
also first time i like having baby hair

and go
