Celebrity Groomer Nathaniel Dezan used R+Co to create Love Island Season 8 winner Bryce Alakai’s look for the 2026 Love Island Reunion.
To craft the look, Nathaniel used R+Co’s SKYLINE Dry Shampoo for extra elevation and the AIRCRAFT Pomade Mousse to deliver a studiously messy style. The result was a modern twist on 50s rock and roll icons, while keeping the look true to Bryce’s vibe by adding texture to his hair as well as a spirited, unpredictable scent.
“I swept the hair up and back, for a more elevated look but kept it soft, textured, messy and easy. It’s a modern take on classic 50s hair with a bit of volume and pieces falling on the face,” said Nathaniel.
Follow these simples steps to get Bryce Alakai’s reunion look:
1. Start with damp hair.
2. Apply R+Co AIRCRAFT Pomade Mousse, pinning and placing hair where desired.
3. Use a diffuser to dry hair and enhance texture.
4. When hair is close to dry, remove the pins and scrunch hair with the diffuser.
5. Finish with R+Co SKYLINE Dry Shampoo Powder for texture and volume.
