“We wanted a statement style that would be a showstopper for Serena’s surprise dance moment with Kendrick Lamar but also hold up against the wind and possible humidity of New Orleans for the big game. Wella Professionals was the obvious choice from color to styling. The game changer was Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum that set the whole look keeping the curls in place without any frizz!” said Serena’s longtime hairstylist Angela Meadows.
