Ariana Grande's Glinda Hairstyle Tutorial
- Start with some killer golden blonde extensions, usually around 20 or 22 inches for that ultra-glam length and volume. Casciola recommends using Hybrid Weft Extensions in Color 23 and Original Tape-In Extensions in Color 23.
- Go in with a curling iron to craft big, bouncy waves that scream effortless luxe.
- Taking horizontal sections, curl the hair around the iron and pin each section with creaseless clips. Hit that deep side part for drama, then smooth the roots for a sleek contrast.
- Amp it up with a volumizing mousse and PUFF.ME powder for the perfect lift.
- Take a section from your right side then let the left side and marry together with a clear elastic.
- Do an upside down topsy tail to create the invisible voluminous ponytail in the back middle of head.
- Smooth out top sections around the face with a smoothing brush, and then comb through the curls to break them up. Gloss for that high-shine glow, and lock it all down with a flexible hold hairspray.
