The Tony Awards brought out your favorite actors and playwrights to celebrate Broadway Theater and the people who make it happen. From Regina King to Cynthia Erivo and more, we were loving the red carpet looks for the night! Braided ponytails and short cuts dominated the evening and we’re sharing with you the key products to recreate some of the best hair and makeup looks from the night.

SAMIRA WILEY

Samira Wiley’s crop cut and Type 4 curls on the red carpet was such a mood! I love short styles in summer and this is a vibe. Type 4 hair needs extra moisture and I love the African Pride Leave In Conditioner with Coconut Oil and Baobab Oil ($4.99, sallybeauty.com) and following up with their Curling Cream that has Shea Butter and Flaxseed Oil ($4.99, sallybeauty.com). Add your favorite oil for a twist out or curls that will be defined like Samira’s!

LILLY COOPER

Actress Lilly Cooper gave us this gorgeous braided ponytail for the red carpet. Sleek styles are all the rage and a braid just takes it up a notch. She wrapped her natural curls in a way in a side top bun giving us hair that also looks like a hat! Here for it! This braided look doesn’t have to be expensive and is a quick, easy, one week style. Grab some fake hair to braid in. Try X-Pressions (which is 100% Kanekalon, but just a smoother process). You can go to your local beauty supply store if you’re not sure your color or buy it online ($3.86, beautyofnewyork.com).

REGINA KING

Ponytails will continue to trend into the summer and we love the simple, sleek look. You need a gel and an edge control that will really hold it down and none is better than Gummy Hair Gel ($16.74, walmart.com). This is a secret favorite of a lot of MN and HB editors and I’ve personally used it on my Type 4 hair and my edges stayed in place for TWO DAYS (seriously!).
