Ariana Madix's 'Love Island USA' Hairstylist on Fiji Hacks and Villa Trends

12h · 3 views

Carl Bembridge, the hairstylist for "Love Island USA" host Ariana Madix, has shared the secrets behind her villa looks, including the Fiji-proof tricks and trends that defined the season. Bembridge revealed that a key product was Color Wow Dream Coat Extra Strength, which he describes as a "raincoat for the hair" to shield it from humidity. He also relied on two large suitcases full of Bellami hair extensions, noting that extensions help build structure into hairstyles and help them last longer and photograph better during long filming days. Bembridge highlighted several favorite looks from the season, including a "Bond girl blowout" with voluminous roots and soft curls, an "editorial fringe moment" with a top knot and Tinkerbell bangs, and a "Bemb-shell Blowout" worn with a custom red lace-up dress. He said he and Ariana collaborate on her looks, often debating which iconic 90s or 2000s song should accompany the edit, typically choosing between Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
