The contestants were feeling the pressure this week on The Voice! As we saw two singers say goodbye, whittling the group down to eight, we also got the inside scoop on Coach Shakira‘s two looks. In order to embrace the heat of competition (and the blazing temperatures in Los Angeles), Shakira went for full, sexy curls both nights to contrast with her neutral sparkling top by Amen on Monday and her glam Roberto Cavalli design on Tuesday. “It’s been pretty hot in L.A. and we wanted to embrace her natural texture,” the judge’s stylist Kim Kimble told InStyle.com. ”She has naturally thick, curly hair so this look was easy and effortless.” To achieve Shakira’s ‘do, Kimble added a bit of serum to her air-dried hair. Just like that, she was ready to take her seat in her big red coach chair. Gorgeous!

Last week, the top 12 contestants on The Voice battled it out live to make it to the final stage of the competition. So who’s the real showstopper of the season so far? Coach Shakira! InStyle.com got the scoop on her gorgeous hairdos from her pro stylist, Kim Kimble. On last Monday night’s live round, Kimble complemented the singer’s white Sarli Couture crystal embroidered jacket by raking her strands into a high ponytail with loose curls. “We wanted to juxtapose her ornate jacket with soft, pulled-back hair,” Kimble told us exclusively. “It really allowed the jacket to shine.” The following night, Shakira went full-on glam in an ombre silk chiffon dress with crystal detailing by Amen. “The clothes always dictate the look,” said Kimble of her choice to create soft, flowing waves. To get the look, she used a flat iron rather than a traditional curling iron. “A flat iron creates more of a softer, flatter wave, so its not as bouncy; it’s just a bit sexier.” Her pro tip? “Don’t clamp down hard on the iron, you don’t want any creases or dents—it should look soft.” The Voice airs tonight and tomorrow at 8/7c on NBC.
