How To Recreate Gaga's Oscar Look: Frederic Aspiras on Good Morning America

[jprince99x 3,547]

Frederic Aspiras is Gaga's Hairdresser, they have worked together for over 10 years. Aspiras did an story with Good Morning America about his work with Gaga and told how he pulled off her Oscar look.

Aspiras spoke to Good Morning America, "Gaga and I first connected when she was looking for a hairstylist to do the Monster Ball theater show. I was available because I knew how to do wigs and that's how our relationship began. People say her style has evolved, and I've been with her for over a decade and I think she's always been like that. One day she's a lady and the next day she's Gaga, and then, you know, you put it together and it's Lady Gaga."

THE TUTORIAL:

Spoiler

1. Prep hair with shampoo and conditioner.

"I always start with fresh, clean hair," said Aspiras. "To keep Gaga's hair brighter and lighter, I use Blonde Life violet shampoo."

2. Section hair into two halves, one from the top of the crown and one from the nape of the neck.

"Updos can be difficult at times, but it can also be fairly easy," Aspiras explained. "Take two sections in half of the head, and start at the back and roll it up, and clip it and pin it."

3. Add dry shampoo as you style to add grit and texture.

"When you're putting hair up, it adds grit and texture so that it holds better and the pins don't slip out," Aspiras told "GMA."

4. Using a boar bristle flat brush, tease sectioned hair and begin to build it upward.

"Basically, what we did with Gaga's hair for the Oscars was that we added different shapes and sizes to her head," Aspiras said. He went on to explain they did it so when she turned around and was taking pictures on the carpet, her hair could be seen from different angles.

5. Layer hairspray through the hair.

"As you're going along, you're layering on a little bit of hairspray to clean it up," said Aspiras.

6. Take a rat-tail comb to pull through and lift some of the top pieces of hair.

Aspiras recommends using the comb instead of your finger because you want to be as delicate as possible as you get to the top of your head.

7. Make the style yours!

Although this look is Gaga-inspired, no two updos are alike.

"Every updo can be personal and individualized to celebrate your own personal identity, and that's great!"

It would be a great couples halloween costume to dress up as Gaga and Bradley for their oscar performance. You could mess up your makeup and put lipstick kisses on your mans face to make it look like you've been fvcking

Any particular reasons why this random girl's hairstyle looks so much better than Gaga's one? 

[Miel 15,009]

I was surprised at how different they were, but I guess the stylistic change is because it was "inspired" by the OScars look, and utilized the same steps but was ultimately finished differently. It still looks cute, but now what I expected.

That said, as bored as I was of updo's at that time, her hair looked really good. The structure was very beautiful- classic, yet something a little different (the hint of "Gaga" making it just a little weird, imo... a good thing!).

He aimed for Oscar and hit Gaga’s last appearance on Ellen

Ya'll think the model is wearing HL makeup? Looks like she's got Rose B!tch on to me

I think one of the reasons the style turned out different on the model is because she has a lot finer hair than Gaga. 

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

It looks like he twisted the "bun" the wrong way so it looks like it's inside out and like a deflated souffle. 

He should have tidied up the front at least.

Freddie is just a figure for the public. The real hairstylist works in the shadows. LG6 2020 confirmed.

Genuine question: why does Sarah get dragged so much more than Freddie? To be clear, I like them both, but it's not like Freddie hasn't had some misses, so why do little bullies target her and not him?
