Olivia Attwood has revealed the routine behind her signature beachy waves that she says “last all day,” using the ghd Chronos Curve Grand Tong Hair Curler with a 32mm barrel. The styler, usually priced at £189, has been reduced to £141.75 at LookFantastic, saving shoppers almost £50.
Olivia's step-by-step routine
Olivia began by washing her hair with the Kerastase Genesis Shampoo and Conditioner Duo, a product she says she has been “loyal to” for years. After washing and blow-drying, she applies a generous spritz of the ghd Curly Ever After Curl Hold Spray, which is also on sale, reduced from £20 to £16. The lightweight spray offers heat protection, extra hold, volume, and increased shine, with Olivia calling it a “game changer.”
With prep complete, she curls sections of hair around the 32mm barrel, twisting each section before releasing it to create a loose, beachy effect. She then brushes through the waves with a wide-toothed comb for a more natural, undone look that she says will “last all day,” even when on a boat or dancing on tables.
More styling options and features
The ghd Chronos Hair Curler is not limited to beachy waves; it can also create big, bouncy 90s-style curls or exaggerated Hollywood waves. Its shape lifts hair at the root for added volume and bounce, and each curl only needs to be held for three to five seconds.
The curler features an anodised coating that protects against damage and breakage while boosting shine, leaving hair soft and smooth. It maintains an optimum temperature of 185°C across the barrel and automatically switches off after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Alternative options
For those preferring smaller, tighter curls, the Mark Hill Pretty In Pink 24mm barrel curler is available for £19.99 and attaches to the Mark Hill Pick 'N' Mix handle. Alternatively, the amika Blowout Babe Thermal Brush creates smooth, bouncy curls on damp or dry hair and is on sale, reduced from £95 to £76.
