THE’halo hair of Rosalía
Rosalia’s look was created by the hairstylist Evanie Frausto: «We created the design freehand, using a mixture of 40 volume bleachshaped in a circle around the crown of Rosalía’s dark hair. I had to carefully measure the quantity and consistency of the bleach, so that it was dense and did not run, until I obtained the perfect shade of golden blonde», he told Vogue. «The halo concept reflects themystical atmosphere of the disc. Rosalía is a true artist: she has every detail clear and together we created an effect elegant and theatrical». Plus, the look isn’t permanent: it’s a removable piecewhich allows the singer to make the halo appear and disappear at will, combining entertainment and practicality.
