As the festive season approaches, so does the allure of winter weddings and holiday parties, where elegance is paramount. Recently, Nicole Kidman graced the red carpet at the 15th Annual LACMA Art and Film Gala, showcasing a striking look that captivated onlookers. Known for her impeccable style, Kidman complemented her ethereal gown with a nostalgic ’90s-inspired ponytail, proving once again that her fashion choices are nothing short of stunning.
To help beauty enthusiasts replicate this sophisticated hairstyle, renowned hairstylist Adir Abergel has shared insights into the Ghd hair tools he utilised to craft Kidman’s “soft, wispy fringe.” With the right tools in hand, anyone can achieve a salon-worthy look that exudes effortless glamour.
Abergel’s tool selection includes the Ghd Ceramic Vented & Natural Bristle 1.7-Inch Round Brush, which is priced at £28, down from its original £40. This round brush is instrumental in creating volume and a soft bend, allowing hair to flow gracefully rather than lying flat. According to Abergel, using a vented brush facilitates quick drying, particularly beneficial for delicate fringe, which tends to dry quickly and can require careful handling.
In terms of technique, Abergel recommends drying the fringe with the Ghd Speed Ionic Hair Dryer—currently £343, reduced from £429. He emphasises the importance of moving the dryer side-to-side while using fingers to maintain softness and avoid unsightly cowlicks. The key is to use medium heat and to start drying from the roots, gently lifting each section. This method not only brings volume but also prevents damage to fine hair—a crucial consideration when choosing styling tools.
Abergel’s expertise shines through as he describes how to create the perfect ponytail. His advice entails pulling the hair back with hands, rather than a brush, to keep the top soft and airy. Securing the base effectively is crucial for longevity, while a few strategically placed bobby pins can add lift. To finish the look, he suggests pulling out a few face-framing strands and incorporating a bend for movement. The ideal outcome should appear effortlessly composed, as if the style was achieved in mere minutes.
Additionally, the Ghd The Sectioner Tail Comb, available for £15 instead of £22, is another essential tool for achieving precision. Abergel used this comb after applying a texture spray to backcomb the crown of Kidman’s updo. Its design allows for fine adjustments without disturbing the overall shape or reducing volume—an invaluable asset for any haircare toolkit.
To further enhance the look, Abergel employed the Ghd Chronos Curve Grand Curling Iron, currently available for £207 down from £259. This curling iron is recognised for its lightweight design, making it perfect for travel, and it plays a pivotal role in adding loose bends to the ponytail and framing face. Shoppers have praised its efficiency, with many reporting long-lasting curls that remain intact for days.
Abergel’s pro-tips are invaluable for anyone looking to perfect their styling techniques. He stresses the importance of allowing curls to cool completely before gently shaking them out with fingers—this ensures a more natural finish rather than tight, defined curls.
As the colder months draw near, it’s time to embrace elegant hairstyles that enhance your beauty while remaining practical for winter events. With the right products and techniques, inspired by Nicole Kidman’s chic style, achieving a sophisticated look for weddings and parties is within reach.
Available tools from Ghd not only help in recreating celebrity hairstyles but also elevate your personal styling game, ensuring that this winter, you step out with confidence and flair. Whether it’s a festive celebration or a romantic winter wedding, mastering these techniques will leave you looking glamorous, just like the stars.
