There’s nothing better than 90s-hair — big and bouncy, but never too perfect. Nicole Kidman’s “Practical Magic 2” LA Premiere look, a major blowout was a total throwback to her then-signature curls. Celebrity Hairstylist Adir Abergel was responsible for the style and shared how it all came together.
“The goal was undone in the best way — loose, full curls with a ton of body, a high-shine finish, and that deep side part that gives the whole look a sexier, more grown-out blowout feel,” Abergel says. He continues, “It’s a nod to the free-spirited sister from the original film, re-set for tonight: healthy, romantic, and full of movement.”
Read on for the exact ghd tools Abergel used to create Nicole Kidman’s retro-meets-right-now look.
Get the Look:
- Start by creating a deep side part, then dry the hair using ghd Speed and working at the root with a round brush to build maximum lift and volume.
- Working in small-to-medium sections, use the ghd Chronos Curve Grand Iron to wind the hair in a consistent direction to build a full, voluminous curl pattern reminiscent of Kidman’s own ’90s curls — defined but never stiff, with real body behind it. Let each curl cool completely on the barrel before releasing, then rake through gently with fingers, not a brush, to open the curl into a soft, sexy blowout shape without losing definition.
- Once all the curls are set, work the fingers back through along the deep side part to let the length and weight of the curls fall naturally to compete the undone curl look.
