Sydney Sweeney’s Red Carpet Waves Are the Glossiest We’ve Seen — Here’s the Routine Behind It

For the Euphoria Season 3 premiere, Sydney Sweeney turned heads with ultra-glossy, cascading waves that delivered the ultimate blend of bombshell glamour and modern polish. Created by celebrity hairstylist Glen Oropeza using a full Kérastase routine, the look was defined by luminous shine, soft, brushed-out curls and voluminous length. The glass-like finish caught the light from every angle — proving that high-impact shine is officially back and entirely shoppable.

The secret to recreating Sweeney’s red-carpet waves lies in a shine-boosting routine that prioritizes smoothness, hydration and lightweight layering. Oropeza began by prepping the hair with Kérastase Gloss Absolu Bain Hydra-Glaze Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Gloss Absolu Insta-Glaze Anti-Frizz Conditioner to create a sleek, frizz-free foundation. On damp hair, he applied the Gloss Absolu Glaze Milk Anti-Frizz Heat Protecting Spray through the mid-lengths and ends to protect against heat while enhancing softness and gloss.

After blow-drying to smooth the cuticle and create a reflective base, he brushed out the hair to form loose, voluminous waves with natural movement. To finish, Oropeza polished the look with Kérastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops Anti-Frizz Hair Oil for a silky, high-shine effect, then misted Gloss Absolu Le Parfum Hair Perfume for a final touch of softness and a delicate, luxurious scent. The result: a radiant, red carpet–ready style that’s easy to recreate at home.

The hair oil, in particular, is a fan-favorite. One Amazon reviewer shared: “I absolutely love these Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops! The texture is very lightweight and doesn’t make my hair look greasy at all. Just a few drops are enough to control frizz and add an incredible mirror-like shine. My hair feels soft, smooth, and smells amazing every time I use it.”

Whether you’re channeling Old Hollywood glamour or simply elevating your everyday blowout, Sweeney’s ultra-glossy waves prove that radiant, high-shine hair starts with the right routine. Shop the Kérastase essentials behind the style to recreate the luminous, glass-like finish at home.
