Sleek, high-shine hair was the definitive trend at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art aka LACMA Gala, and British-American actress, and Dune: Part Three star, Anya Taylor-Joy’s sculptural knot was the standout. Celebrity hairstylist and frequent collaborator Gregory Russell created the look powered by ghd tools.
“I was inspired by Anya’s incredible archival Pierre Cardin gown. It had such a beautiful, sculptural quality that I wanted to complement with a hairstyle that felt equally architectural. We decided on a sleek, high-shine sculptural knot that felt modern and refined, while still having a sense of drama,” Russell shares.
Lucky for you, we have the exact tools used — keep reading for the specifics.
Get the Look:
- Begin using the ghd Speed with the ghd Ceramic Vented Round Brush working section by section to direct the hair close to the head to create a smooth foundation.
- Then to further refine the texture with ghd Sculpt to create that silky, glass-like finish. Every section should look incredibly smooth and reflective, so this step was essential in achieving that polished, almost liquid shine.
- Next, apply a small amount of blow-dry cream through the hairline, brushing the hair back and securing it tightly into a sleek ponytail.
- Mist with strong-hold hairspray for a clean, lacquered silhouette. Apply glossing cream to the ponytail, twist into an exaggerated knot around the base, and pin securely.
- Finally, tame any remaining flyaways with a touch more hairspray and finish with a generous mist of shine spray for a high-gloss, polished finish.
