The night is young, but Charli XCX has already snagged more than one Grammy win today, all while delivering a masterclass in gothic curls.

Created by celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett and inspired by the “over-the-top femininity of her dress,” Charli’s lived-in gothic curls depended on one specific diffuser, available on Amazon. “The Laifen Swift Special’s diffuser attachment was key to getting the most out of her natural curls,” Scarletts says. “The Diffuser Nozzle really defined her curls and waves, and I love that the Temperature Cycling Mode allowed me to keep the dryer at the perfect heat for her hair leaving no heat damage.”

The “quiet” hair dryer uses negative ions to neutralize static electricity during the blow-drying process, which also significantly reduces frizz and enhances shine, according to the brand.

For the product steps, Scarlett started with clean wet hair, applying the John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Curl Reviver Mousse at roots for control and lift. “I used a generous amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum throughout the hair and a wide tooth comb to make sure product is evenly distributed. I then used the Laifen Swift Special diffuser hair dryer and diffuser attachment, while simultaneously pulling on hair decreasing volume to achieve a more stretched out wave.”

Once completely dry, Scarlett used a quarter-size amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème throughout hair and continued to “stretch out” the curls. He then went through with a 1-inch curling iron, defining the natural curls, leaving the ends straight. 

“Lastly, I used the John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray to help give the hair a tougher, undone texture,” Scarlett says.
