For me, red carpet style is almost more important than who takes home any awards. In fact, I’d like to give out my own “Golden Globe Glam Award” to Kate Hudson and her effortless red carpet waves! I loved her modern look so much that I decided to recreate it with the ghd Platinum.
What I like about the ghd Platinum is it’s a curling iron and flat iron in one. Kate’s style is straight, wavy, then straight again, and I can do the entire look with just one tool. When I’m traveling I can just throw it in my suitcase and be able to create a variety of hairstyles.
First I separated my hair into two sections. Starting with the bottom section, I flat ironed my roots only. Kate’s hair was really sleek at the roots so I made sure not to skip this step. I use the optimum setting which is 365 degrees. This gives me less damage on my hair plus the even heat protects my color.
Then I hold the styler vertically to start creating a wave. I pass a section of my hair through the styler while holding the ends. This ensures that the ends remain straight and the wave is only in the center of your hair. Whether you choose to use this tool upside down or right side up, you’ll never had to deal with an annoying cord. The ghd Platinum has a swivel cord that stays out of your way and out of your hair.
After I finish the bottom section, I repeat this technique on the top of my hair. Straightening the roots first, then wrapping sections away from my face to create the waves. Since this styler is a curling iron and a flat iron, I can easily go back and straighten the ends to get a messy, modern look.
I didn’t have to use any serums to get added shine. The ghd Platinum has a wishbone hinge that keeps the plates aligned and gives 20% more shine than the average styling tool.
Now I just separate the waves with my fingers to add a bit more texture. That’s it!
I hope you guys liked this look! Use the code MHGHD30 for 30% off the ghd Platinum and a free bottle of Advanced Split End Therapy. Tag me in your pics so I can see your best Kate Hudson waves
