How-To: Christina Aguilera’s Vintage Waves at the Sabrina Carpenter Concert – Extensions

Christina Aguilera’s surprise performance at the Sabrina Carpenter concert on Friday, November 15th in Los Angeles was a night to remember–and so was her hair. 

 Aguilera’s glamorous vintage waves channeled Old Hollywood and were created by Celebrity Hairstylist Iggy Rosales (@hairbyiggy) using hairtalk’s hair extensions.

“Inspired by the elegance of classic Hollywood, I created a look that combines soft, voluminous waves with a hint of drama and sophistication. Using hairtalk extensions in colors 60A (Light Blonde) and 613 (Platinum Blonde), I achieved a stunning blend that enhances Christina’s natural beauty and elevates her stage presence for her guest performance at the Sabrina Carpenter show..” – Celebrity Hairstylist Iggy Rosales

 Step-By-Step Breakdown 

• Extension Preparation: “I selected hairtalk extensions in colors 60A and  613 to add dimension and depth, creating a luminous, natural look. I used a mix of lengths to achieve full-body volume, focusing on mid-length and ends for cascading waves.”
• Application Technique: “Starting with a full head application, I carefully placed the extensions to maximize volume while ensuring seamless blending. I focused on creating even distribution around the crown and sides to achieve the desired balance and fullness. I layered the extensions strategically, placing more volume at the bottom to allow for a natural wave flow.”
• Styling the Waves: “I used a large-barrel curling iron to create soft, uniform waves, rolling sections away from the face for that timeless Hollywood effect. After the curls cooled, I gently brushed through them to transform them into smooth, cohesive waves. I applied a lightweight finishing spray to hold the waves in place without stiffness, maintaining a soft, touchable finish.”
• Finishing Touches: “I added a touch of shine serum to accentuate the blonde tones and give the hair a reflective, high-gloss finish. I parted the hair slightly off-center for a classic look that enhances facial symmetry and complements Christina’s stage aesthetic.”
