Demi Moore didn't win a statuette last night, however, she was surely a winner in the hair category. The 62-year-old star walked the red carpet rocking what her hairstylist calls 'The Oscar Waves.' As someone who's been following Moore's beauty looks as of late, I needed to learn more about her gorgeous locks and chatted with Dimitris Giannetos, celebrity hairstylist and mastermind behind the look. Here's what I found out.

The inspiration behind her look was from a 2000s shoot for Vogue. As Giannetos tells PureWow, “My reference was an iconic shoot Demi did in the early 2000s. Demi is wearing a beautiful Armani Privé dress, so I wanted [her hair] to be glamorous, but at the same time powerful—like Demi’s personality!”

Moroccanoil

When it comes to recreating her signature look, Giannetos shares four simple steps *and* all the products you need to do it at home. He starts with towel-dried hair and preps with Moroccanoil Root Boost Spray ($32), which helps add volume and movement, while creating strong texture at the roots.

Dyson

The stylist also uses Moroccanoil Perfect Defense Heat Protectant ($32), brushing it through before grabbing the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer ($430) to give her a nice blowout. Then, he uses the Dyson Corrale Straightener ($499) to curl and set each section. Stylist tip: Use the hair tool on medium setting (365 degrees) to achieve the look.

Moroccanoil

Finally, Giannetos brushes out the curls and spritzes on Moroccanoil Luminous hairspray ($28) for a silky, smooth finish. It offers just enough hold for The Substance star to walk the carpet without a flyaway in sight.
