I don’t know who I love more–Kerry Washington or Olivia Pope. Yes, I’m one of those crazies who declines all calls and goes into a complete trance at 9pm every Thursday when Scandal comes on. I’m a gladiator, baby! (Or so I like to believe.)
So obviously when given the chance to interview Kerry Washington’s hairstylist, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, I didn’t even think twice. Not only has she actually touched Kerry Washington’s hair, but she is a legit guru. Get her best hair tips–plus, the requisite dish on Kerry Washington herself!–below.
SHEfinds: You’ve been styling hair for many years–what’s the one tip/trick you learned early on that’s served you well over the years? Takisha Sturdivant-Drew: The one trick I learned early on is not to add product to the hair before styling it. If you want the hair to have movement, using little or no product is always good. As long you you’re using a great shampoo and conditioner, you really don’t need any other product.
Another important thing I’ve learned as a hairstylist is that every client isn’t for you. Sometimes your personality won’t mesh well with a client because you’re not on the same page when it comes to styling, and that’s ok. You don’t take it personal, just move on.
