I am thrilled to ask my three favorite beauty questions to Ms. Winfrey’s personal hair guru, Andre Walker:
INDUSTRY BREAK: I had always played with hair as a kid growing up. I was fascinated by it. I started in the salon business in Chicago. Eventually, I reached out to Oprah and said I’m dying to get my hands in your hair someday. The rest is history.
5 MOST COVETED PRODUCTS:
- Andre Walker Quench Essential Oil – It’s everyone’s favorite, and at the top of my list, too! I knew what I wanted an oil to do, and worked the formulation until I got it. I love it on my hair, skin, everywhere.
- Andre Walker Hair Makeup – Covers roots in between salon visits!
- Elnett Hairspray – A beauty staple. Love it.
- Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle – I covet all things that smell wonderful, work well, and feel good on the hair and skin.
- Dr. Sebagh’s Supreme Maintenance Serum – This miracle serum, with every anti-aging ingredient from A-Z, is the ultimate in luxury skincare.
FAVORITE LOOK YOU’VE CREATED: Two looks stand out. I love what I did with Halle Barry‘s pixie cut; it set off her face and has been a style she has kept for years, with tweaks from other stylists. It’s like the “good bones” comment you always hear: a good haircut, structurally, can survive many trends and eras. For Oprah, it’s definitely the shaggy layered cut, the look I did for her on her 50th birthday.
