Kendall Jenner’s Sculptural Updo
Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell created Kendall Jenner’s sleek, sculptural French twist using ghd styling tools. Inspired by the elegance of her Valentino gown, Russell wanted a look that felt “timeless and sophisticated, with a modern finish.”
How to Get the Look
Russell began by creating a clean center part on damp hair before blow drying with the ghd Speed Hair Dryer and ghd Ceramic Vented Round Brush to achieve a smooth foundation.
He then used the ghd Chronos Curve Grand Iron to curl the ends, creating the shape and flexibility needed for the French twist. After separating two front sections, he brushed the remaining hair back into a tight, sculptural updo.
