La Gata star and telenovela veteran Maite Perroni shares the scoop on her character’s signature hairdo with Glam Belleza Latina’s contributing editor, Kika Rocha, in the 2014 fall issue, out now.
Maite on the process behind getting Esmeralda’s hair on La Gata…
“It is a big and wild mane at the beginning, but at the end my look is much more sophisticated. For the wild look, the hairstylist braids my hair, then flatirons each braid before undoing it. My puffy hair adds drama to my character, but my hair suffers a lot!”
Maite on how she keeps her hair shiny…
“My hair goes through so much during taping, but I really take care of it. When you’re good to your hair, it shows. I try to wash it every day, and I use hydrating masks. On set, I insist on using products that protect my hair from heat styling.”
Maite on her natural beauty tips…
“My grandmother taught me a great trick of using tomato, or jitomate, as a mask. I mash it up and apply it all over my hair and scalp. I like to leave it on for a few hours when I’m spending a lazy weekend at home or even overnight. The jitomate really nourishes every strand and gives it super shine.”
Maite on her makeup routine…
“[My] makeup always starts with lots of mascara. I don’t wear heavy makeup when I’m not working, but I never leave home without my sunblock, a light foundation, pink blush, and a natural gloss. I also like bronzers for a bit of shimmer. That’s my everyday look. If I’m going to a party or event, I wear red lipstick.”
