Cindy Crawford's Signature Red Carpet Curls

Supermodel Cindy Crawford’s red carpet curls are the epitome of timeless glamour. With voluminous, blown-out waves and a polished finish, this style defined an era and remains just as iconic today. Achieved with hot rollers or a large curling iron, it delivers body, shine, and the kind of sophistication that elevates any special occasion look.

Instructions

1. 1

   Start with freshly washed, towel-dried hair. Apply volumizing mousse evenly from roots to ends.

2. 2

   Blow-dry hair using a round brush, lifting at the roots to create body and smoothness.

3. 3

   Once hair is fully dry, divide into sections to prepare for rollers.

4. 4

   Place hot rollers in each section, rolling hair away from the face for a lifted, glamorous effect.

5. 5

   Allow rollers to cool completely, around 20 minutes, to lock in the curl.

6. 6

   Remove rollers gently and let curls fall naturally without tugging.

7. 7

   Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to separate curls and create volume.

8. 8

   Flip hair upside down and shake lightly for extra movement.

9. 9

   Spray lightly with shine spray to enhance gloss and smooth any flyaways.

10. 10

    Check the front sections to ensure curls frame the face evenly for a balanced, polished look.

Styling Tips

• For longer hold, mist each section with light hairspray before setting in rollers.

• Blow-dry with your head upside down to maximize lift before rolling.

• Brush through the curls with a boar-bristle brush if you prefer a softer, more blown-out effect.

• Hot rollers give a classic bounce, but a large-barrel curling iron can also recreate the style.
