Cynthia Erivo has become known for her bold bald aesthetic, and now she’s giving us a step-by-step look at what it takes to maintain her look.
In a February interview with R29Unbothered during Essence’s Black Women In Hollywood event, the “Wicked” star shared the process for healthily achieving the style we’ve come to admire.
“Between each shave, maybe it’s like three days,” Erivo said. She explained that she follows each shave with a hot towel “immediately” to “keep the pores open.”
The actor also confessed that she uses a “little spray” made from tea tree oil, which she applies to lock in and maximize moisture. Finally, Erivo revealed that she uses a hair oil from Beyoncé’s hair care line, Cécred, that “keeps everything good.”
At March’s Academy Awards, Erivo and her well-moisturized head, along with Ariana Grande, captivated viewers with a performance from their hit movie “Wicked.”
Grande kicked off the performance with a heartfelt version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz” shortly after paying tribute to Los Angeles in the wake of the devastating wildfires there in January.
Erivo then took the stage with a powerful tribute to Stephanie Mills’ iconic song “Home,” from the Broadway musical “The Wiz.”
The two then reunited to deliver an unforgettable duet of “Defying Gravity” from “Wicked,” with Erivo finishing the performance with her signature riff as the stage ascended.

Even though Erivo is casting spells with her performances, fans are still taking her by surprise.
In a January interview with “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” she confessed that fans often approach her at random moments and imitate the “war cry” from the popular film.
“Sometimes it’s really delightful. Sometimes it’s really really wonderful,” she said. “I think what’s lovely is that people are willing to try anyway.”
