As seen on the Golden Globes red carpet, there can be variations in the curl. Ayo Edebiri’s, shaped by hairstylist Jacob Aaron, was oversized but not fully closed. Odessa A’zion’s, on the other hand, has become a part of her signature look—all of which she maintains herself (and no, it’s not a wig!). Ginnifer Goodwin also wore a pixie-sized version of the trend for the night by Clayton Hawkins, a perfect accompaniment to her short hair.
“It is extremely easy to do at home,” Mallett says, walking me through the curl-shaping as he affixes it to my forehead. “Simply spray gel onto the hair, smooth it out with your fingers, then twist it into a circular motion and secure it with a pin. Dry the hair using a diffuser, and do not remove the pin until the hair is completely dry—this ensures the curl stays perfectly in place.”
It’s a fun, DIY-friendly way to vintage-ify your hair without having to go full wet-set. “It always beautifully frames the face,” Mallett adds. Bisous!
