Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights Press Tour Hair Is All About Defined Mermade Waves

As Margot Robbie steps into her Wuthering Heights press tour, her hair is making just as much of a statement as her red carpet looks. While the film leans into windswept romance and gothic drama, Margot’s beauty is far more controlled. She’s been rocking defined, sculpted waves. Polished, intentional and unmistakably Mermade.

We cannot stop thinking about this look and since waves are literally our speciality, it only felt right to step in with a Mermade guide on how to achieve Margot’s now iconic, defined wave. Rather than soft, tousled movement, this style is all about structure. The wave pattern is visible, the bends are intentional and the finish is textured from root to ends.

How to Recreate Margot Robbie’s Defined Waves

Start with a sleek base. Smooth, dry hair is key to keeping the wave clean and glossy. A controlled blow dry will help eliminate flyaways and create a uniform canvas.

Work in clean, even sections and keep your wave direction consistent for a more sculpted finish. Let the hair cool completely before touching it. Skip heavy brushing. If needed, lightly separate with fingers or a wide-tooth comb to maintain definition.

Finish with a lightweight shine spray to enhance that red carpet finish without softening the wave.

The Tools That Create This Look

Double Waver

The Double Waver is ideal for creating Margot’s signature defined wave.. Its design allows you to achieve a visible, structured wave pattern that still feels smooth and modern.

Perfect if you want consistency through the hair and a wave that photographs beautifully. This tool gives you shape, shine and hold without needing excessive styling.

Pro Waver 32mm

For a slightly more elongated, softer wave the 32mm Pro Waver delivers definition with softness. The larger barrel creates waves that are clearly shaped but more relaxed through the ends.

This is ideal if you want Margot’s look with a softer finish that still maintains structure and polish.

M Infrared Waver

To achieve defined waves without compromising hair health, the M Infrared Waver is key. Infrared heat helps style the hair from the inside out, reducing surface damage while enhancing shine.

This tool is perfect for maintaining that smooth, glossy finish while keeping the wave intact for longer.

How to Make Your Waves Last

Second day hair works in your favour
Freshly washed hair can be too soft to hold a defined wave. Styling on second day hair gives you more grip, allowing the wave pattern to last longer and hold its structure. If needed, a light dry shampoo spray at the roots can help add hold without compromising shine.

Always use a heat protectant
Heat protection is non negotiable. A quality heat protectant not only shields the hair from heat damage but also helps smooth the cuticle, resulting in shinier, longer lasting waves. Think of it as the foundation for a polished finish and healthier hair over time.

Set the wave, do not brush it out
Once your waves are styled, allow them to cool completely before touching them. This helps lock the shape in place. Avoid heavy brushing, which can soften the wave too much and cause it to drop faster.

Finish with a lightweight setting spray
A flexible setting spray is the final step to keeping defined waves intact. Lightly mist through the mid lengths and ends to hold the shape while maintaining movement. You want hold without stiffness, shine without crunch.

On a press tour, hair needs longevity and impact. Defined waves hold their shape through long days, multiple outfit changes and endless camera flashes. Margot’s sculpted Mermade waves feel intentional, elevated and perfectly aligned with the cinematic energy of Wuthering Heights.
