‘DWTS’ Pro Jenna Johnson Reveals the ‘Secret’ Behind Her Signature Slicked-Back Hairstyle (Exclusive)

Jenna Johnson is a pro at making her hair look sleek!

In an exclusive interview with First For Women, the Dancing with the Stars pro, 31 — who is partnering with Revlon Hair Tools for the brand’s new VersaStyler — shares her “secret” to her signature slicked-back hair.

“First, you have to use non-aerosol hairspray, and you spray the whole thing, and you slick it as sleek as you can, brush it out with a hard-bristle brush,” she says. “And then, from there, you go in with aerosol hairspray and then blow-dry it.”

“It really locks it in, and I swear to you, a hair will not budge, you will have low-key a helmet,” Johnson quips. “You can dance, you can flip, you can spin, and it will stay in place.”

While the ballroom dancer admits that the tight updo is also her go-to when she’s “riding on like, day five [of] dirty hair,” she also loves to rock “a fresh blowout look” that feels “effortless but still chic.”

“Because I have to be so done up or glam for my work, I really love just being able to be like Jenna with a bare face and just fresh hair,” she remarks. “Which is so funny because I feel like when I was younger, I was like ‘Oh, I always need to be glam, I always need to be glam.’ But I feel like my confidence and my priorities in beauty have shifted, so I feel like that’s kind of my go-to.”

As to how Johnson achieves a great blowout, she turns to the VersaStyler hairstyling tool.

“It is a triple threat where there are three different modes you can blow dry, there’s a volumizing mode, and then a heated barrel,” she explains. “So you can style, blow dry, get that volume all with one tool, and I just love that convenience aspect of it.”
