You Won't Be Able to Look Away From Halle Berry's Incredible Curls at the Oscars

We'd heard that Halle Berry would be debuting a new hair look for the Academy Awards, and we were in awe when we finally saw the star hit the red carpet. The iconic actress rocked a majestic head of curls, which were accented by caramel highlights.

Though this is a style Halle's been wearing in recent weeks (have you seen her Instagram feed?), she has been wearing her hair mostly wavy since 2012. We're obsessed with these glossy ringlets! Celebrity stylist Castillo, who was responsible for the stunning coif, told POPSUGAR via email that it's been a two-week-long process developing the look.

"She wanted to go with a natural beauty kind of vibe," he explained. "It's a big night, so she wanted to do something different, something that she's never really done on the red carpet before."

In case you were wondering, yes, these are Halle's natural strands. Castillo used MOP Mixed Greens Shampoo ($20) and Conditioner ($22) to add moisture to the hair then used MOP C-Curl Defining Cream ($22) from midshaft down to the ends. Another key product utilized was the T3 Twirl Convertible Curling Iron ($185).

"To help create a polished look, use a small-barrel curling iron to detail any undefined curls," Castillo advised, who used the hot tool to create different-sized curls. Chanel makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua finished off Halle's gorgeous look minimalist radiant makeup. Keep reading to see more shots of the star's stunning style.
