Sterling Point's Curly Shag: How Hairstylists Created Oona's Signature Look
Actor Bo Bragason's curly shag hairstyle from the streaming series Sterling Point has caught the eye of fashion enthusiasts. In an interview with Vogue, lead hairstylist Chrystal Lotz and hairdresser DJ Quintero discussed how the hairstyle was developed and recreated. The show, set on a fictional island in Muskoka Lakes, features Annie Jacobson (played by Ella Rubin) as she delves into her family's secrets, with Bragason portraying Oona, a character embodying a rebellious attitude. Lotz mentioned that the style was achieved using air-dried curls, taking advantage of Ontario's humidity. Quintero advises clients to bring photos and ask for a long curly shag with layers framing the face, using products like Virtue Leave-In Conditioner and Pattern Moisture Milk while embracing frizz for added texture.
