An Exclusive Look at Janelle Monáe’s Paris Fashion Week Hair

If there’s one way to stand out during Paris Fashion week, it’s wear black and white ensembles and Parisian-inspired hairstyles. From her streamlined braided look, to pompadours with a twist, Janelle Monáe served us Paris Fashion week on a platinum platter. Here, her hairstylist Caprice Green gives details on each look.

By Deena Campbell · October 9, 2015October 27, 2020

Chanel S/S Show

“The look is inspired by the classic French woman,” says her hairstylist Caprice Green. “The secret to this look is hairpins—you’ll need at least one hundred!”

Products used: Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo and Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Session extreme hold hairspray.

“This is a classic Pompadour, but with a side French twist,” says Green. “It still sticks to who she is and what she’s about. Also, the jacket was so big we decided we had to put the hair up.”

At-home Hair Tip: “Play with your texture,” says Green. “ Let it dictates how it’s going to fall.”

“This look was a total deviation from what she normally wears,” says Green. “To be completely honest we were on such a time crunch we just putting something together and it worked!”

Product used: Moroccanoil Treatment Light
