The Story Behind Gigi’s Brushed-Back Curls at the AMA’s

Gigi Hadid may have had six different looks (yes 6 looks!) lined up for the American Music Awards (did you peep the cut-out black gown and the Versace gown?) , but the host had one constant: brushed-back curls that looked flawless with her every move.

Here's the story:

“For her red carpet look, Gigi was wearing a gorgeous white lace gown that had a sexy 70’s vibe, and we wanted her hair to reflect that too,” says celebrity hairstylist, Bryce Scarlett. “We took inspiration from Lauren Hutton and went for brushed back curls that would look glamorous, but still effortless.”

The style may seem easy to achieve, but getting the look wasn’t a walk in the park. The look was a perfect marriage of volume and curls, and Scarlett nailed it. For volume, Scarlett used the ghd Air Hairdryer and the size 4 ghd Natural Bristle Radial Brush to blow her hair up and away from her face. Once dry, Scarlett backcombed the host’s hair with thickening spray. “Since we wanted big voluminous curls, I used the ghd Soft Curl Iron to curl her hair,” he says. “The one and a quarter inch barrel creates nice, bouncy curls, which was exactly what we were going for.”

Once curled, Scarlett brushed her hair back to soften the look that would compliment whatever dress she wore. Next, he teased the top for a little extra volume and used the ghd Platinum Styler to touch it up and get rid of any flyaways. And just before she hit the door, he set the look with hairspray. Done! Done! Done!
