It seems like red carpet preparation involves lots of high-end treatments and products—but it turns out that’s not always the case!
Sometimes the best in beauty is also reasonably priced and available to us mere mortals. Take Angelina Jolie’s red carpet prep for last year’s Tony awards—hairstylist to the stars Renato Campora incorporated a mid-range haircare line into her gorgeous ‘do.
Campora has a big rolodex of A-list clients, including Selena Gomez, Halle Berry, Michelle Yeoh, Jessica Chastain and Kate Winslet. So, he really knows good hair.

Renato Campora Used This $15 Hair Serum on Angelina Jolie
Campora used Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil to soften and shine Jolie’s hair for the awards. Argan oil is rich in antioxidants, which can improve scalp health, a key factor in healthy hair. It’s vegan and sulfate and paraben-free. If you want to try it, the travel size is just $13-$15, depending on where you purchase it.

Argan oil can tame frizz and hydrate as well, which is especially important for mature hair.
“Aging hair often needs more moisture,” George Papanikolas previously told Parade. You can also use argan oil as a deep conditioning treatment, too. Apply a generous amount of oil to the hair, comb it through and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing.
For typical daily use, you only need a small amount. Start at the roots and work through the hair. If you use argan oil regularly, it can improve the health of the hair.
