The competitors who participated in the 2023 edition of X Factor they all showed a strong personality, which was only celebrated with the fashion and beauty styling. During the episodes we never saw any forcing and none of them seemed uncomfortable, as has sometimes happened in past years. He confirms it Alessandro Galetti, Artistic Director of the Wella Professionals hair stylist team, Official Partner together with OPI, which guided everyone’s personal transformation starting from the question: “how would you like your hair?” and from here respecting all their wishes.
«With talent, sometimes its aesthetics are intensified to make it known to the public, but in this edition everyone stuck to their way of being», says Galetti.
«We worked harder on it Sarafinehis look is a genre that can lend itself much more to experiments with weaves, extensions, sometimes made more opulent to go out of proportion thanks to the addition of accessories, graphics with sections, very defined reliefs that have given that touch urban style which makes the look very current. Even if the braid is not a current trend, she has demonstrated that it always stands the test of time.”

“For Maria Tomba we worked a lot on the waves and respected her way of being, she remained the girl in the pajamas but we made her more elegant and sexier for her age, and we moved on from finger waves of the 20s, 30s and 40 to those of 2000, the latter made more natural on the back”.

«Matteo Alieno, the boy with the ’60s bob has kept the style unchanged and carried it forward, making it, episode after episode, more current. Sometimes messing it up in the upper part, because with some irregularities or with a more open parting, it loses its static nature.”

“The Stunt Pilots they gave us variations on the theme of the mullet, we saw it straight with 2000s proportions, or with a stronger 80s aesthetic with curls, but we’re always talking about the same shag style with strong contrasts between lengths.”

«In general, for each of them there have always been references to the past, with a return to the ’20s, ’40s and ’80s but each time with the addition of a detail that takes you back to the 2000s. Like the slightly dirty product on the hair, or the frizz or the more graphic waves in the front and more natural in the back, all these elements have given an Eighties-style interpretation of the boys’ looks, an era that they have not lived through, of which they are aware because they studied it and this made their looks always fresh and cool.”
«The cultural background of each person, their region of origin, also greatly characterized their choices. The Stunt Pilos who come from Abruzzo conquered with their London mullets, each with its own personality, but there were those who wanted it styled so that it lasted longer, a bit like the lady who goes to the hairdresser and he wants the starched fold that remains.”
«Sarafine, on the other hand, lived in Brussels and is Calabrian, her music for me is a sort of techno and ‘nduja, and so is her look, with Italian roots but aimed at an international world».
«Maria Tomba with her mix of wet and gloss, especially when she brought finger waves, reinterpreted the old Hollywood allure on stage but in her own way».
«For all the competitors, the hero products that helped us achieve perfection were the Modelieren Gel Forte by Sebastian Professionaland the EIMI Shine Just Brilliant polishing ointment, the latter a glossy wax for the final touch before entering the stage. We also used it to style baby hair, a necessary touch-up if you’re under theater lights which aren’t so forgiving.”
What can we expect for the final?
«The same type of look for everyone, not repeated but reinterpreted».
