Mikey Madison’s glossy Oscars waves came from a viral hot round brush

Mikey Madison channeled old Hollywood glam at the 2026 Oscars in a deep red Dior dress and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Her hairstylist, Rena Calhou, said she was going for a “refined yet touchable, classic yet modern” style that “feels light, fresh and beautifully ‘movie star.’” Calhou described the finished style as “a softly sculpted and glossy wave.

It feels very glamorous, classic, and has a polished finish.” She started by rough-drying Madison’s hair with the brand’s Ionic Compact Hair Dryer, then used the It’s Giving Body Medium Hot Round Brush 1.5″ to smooth the hair while maintaining lift at the roots to preserve natural volume and fluid movement throughout.

If your hair is longer, the larger Jumbo Hot Round Brush is recommended for volume or soft waves. Eiza González’s stylist, Owen Gould, used that size for her Oscar look, which he described as “sleek, sophisticated glamour.” Managing editor Ally D’Aluisio said it gives her the “perfect blowout look in less than 10 minutes” and was “pleasantly surprised” after trying it.
