Jonathan Van Ness Has Blessed Us With The Secret To His Gorgeous Air-Dried Waves

Finessed to (im)perfection - by Delaney Loane
  • 19 May 2020
Jonathan Van Ness Has Blessed Us With The Secret To His Gorgeous Air-Dried Waves

We would go as far as to say that Jonathan Van Ness' hair is obnoxiously good. No one person should be allowed to be in possession of such impressive levels of body, shine and texture.

In fact, the only emotion that outweighs the hair-envy we feel is the undeniable admiration. Hats off to you, JVN (no seriously, hats off - it would be a crime to hide that hair).

And while unfortunately not all of us were blessed with the same glorious natural texture, that doesn't mean we can't do everything in our power to try to replicate it.

Luckily for us, Van Ness has revealed the very products he relies on for his signature social distancing style.

"Feeling a natural wave," he shared, taking to social media to quiz followers on just how many products he used to finesse his air-dried texture. Spoiler alert: it was four - and here they are.

Shu Uemura Wonder Worker

Shu Uemura Wonder Worker Blow Dry Perfector, $47, available at adorebeauty.com.au

Using a blow-dry spray without any plans of getting a blow-dryer involved? Actually groundbreaking. This pre-styling primer is generally used to prep tresses for a silky blowout, but hey, we see no reason why its frizz-taming, hair-conditioning and shine-boosting powers can't be harnessed in the air-drying realm too - just spritz and scrunch to your heart's content.

The Wet Brush

The Wet Brush Original Detangler, $16.95, available at adorebeauty.com.au

Van Ness uses this brush to work his oil of choice (more on it in a minute) through strands to detangle and smooth. Its ultra-soft bristles glide through hair without pulling, so it's stellar for minimising split ends and breakage while taming tresses.

Olaplex Oil

Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil, $59.90, available at haircareheaven.com.au

Ah, further proof that Van Ness has phenomenal taste. He uses this smoothing styling oil to get some gloss going - it takes the surface to new levels of shine and silkiness while also diving deep within to repair damage.

R+Co Gel

R+Co Motorcycle Flexible Gel, $42, available at rawhair.com.au

He seals the deal by applying a bit of this multipurpose gel on the hairline for part control. It works on both wet and dry strands (both offering different results), but when applied wet, it's all about controlled hold that still feels soft to the touch.

And that's it. Don't stress if your wave shape isn't immaculate, either - undone is the aesthetic you're after anyway. To quote the man himself, "imperfection is beautiful." Praise. Be.
