As you may know, our beloved brat Charli XCX graced Auckland’s Laneway stage last week to the screams of thousands of her adoring angels.
But she didn’t get stage ready on her own – Kiwi hairstylist to the stars Matt Benns was right alongside her.
Matt has worked with Charli XCX on iconic looks, including the Met Gala and the iconic 360 music video.
And Laneway was no exception, as Matt created the perfect festival style using his favourite ghd tools.
Here’s how to get Charli XCX’s wet-look waves:
- Prep your freshly washed hair by spritzing it with ghd body goals before blow-drying with the ghd Helios hair dryer.
- Take three of ghd’s holy grail curling tongs: the classic curl, classic wave wand and thin wand to create multiple-size curls.
- Take diagonal sections of your hair and twist them around the curling tools in a rope-like fashion to create a dishevelled, lived-in look – different size sections are used to emphasise this.
- Use the ghd thin wand to go around your hairline and define the texture of your hair.
- After you have finished curling your whole head, run your fingers through your hair, shaking out the curls.
- To complete the wet look finish, take a small portion of ghd body goals and ghd sleek talker on your hands and scrunch it into the curls.
- Finally, apply ghd shiny ever after all over the hair.
