Kylie Minogue

Kylie's hairstyles change just as much as her fabulous outfits and she always looks like she's just stepped out of the salon.

Female First got some top tips on how to recreate some of Kylie's most recent looks from hair experts at ghd.

Preparation

Start by shampooing and conditioning hair and then spritz with ghd sea spray
Blow dry the hair using an anti-static brush to give the hair a good foundation and body
When dry, spray with ghd creation spray to take off any excessive moisture

Look 1- Curls

Using a ghd IV styler, start at the nape of the neck taking hair in 2” sections. Place the styler at the root of the hair and clamp as if to straighten but instead twist 180 degrees upwards and pull hair quickly straight out towards you.

The slower you pull the tighter the curl, the faster you pull the looser the curl. Carry on in the same direction and follow around your head

To get Kylie’s messy waves, alternate the direction you twist the hair in. E.g. if you twist the first section to the right, twist the next section to the left and so forth.

To create Kylie’s deep side parting make sure the hair falls across one eye, producing a softer feel To finish use wax – rub the wax into your hands and between your fingers to warm it up, before individually teasing sections to break up the curls creating a natural, dishevelled look

Look 2 – Up-do

Using a ghd IV salon styler, start at the nape of the neck and straighten hair by clamping down at the root and pulling hair towards you

Pull the hair up into a classic chignon leaving out some hair at the front

Using a comb run the ghd IV salon styler through the front sections of hair flicking out at the ends to create subtle kicks
To maximise root lift pull forwards at the root of the hair when straightening, enabling you to get body when you put the hair up Back brush hair using a ghd antic-static brush, concentrating on the crown area

Smooth at the sides and back and twist up pinning in place. Don’t smooth hair too much on the top to maximise root lift and create Kylie’s beehive effect and straighten fringe

When you reach the ends of the fringe, bevel the styler slightly to avoid a harsh look

Look 3 – Short

Start by shampooing and conditioning hair and smooth in ghd fat hair lotion

Kylie has natural waves so to recreate this look on short hair use ghd mini stylers

As above pull the styler quickly away from you after twisting to get looser, more natural movement

Spritz with ghd reflection spray and comb hair through with fingers to create a smooth loose wave

Look 6 – Bob

Start by shampooing and conditioning hair and smooth in ghd fat hair lotion

Using a ghd IV styler start at the back of the head and straighten hair from root, bevelling the styler slightly at the ends to create a softer finish and repeat through to parting.

Finish with a polishing serum.
