The beauty trends on the Golden Globes red carpet<\/a> were, as to be expected, nothing groundbreaking. Everyone played it generally safe for the first major awards-season<\/a> step and repeat, with a focus on swooping, Old Hollywood-indebted hair and pin-straight locks pushed back to show off their impeccable makeup and dazzling jewels. Charli xcx<\/a> kept her glam relatively low-key for a 365 partygirl, and further promoted the side-part agenda with a cascade of dynamic face-framing waves adding a classic pin-up vibe to her Saint Laurent<\/a> dress.<\/p>\n

Charli\u2019s longtime hairstylist Matt Benns has done it all to her signature jet-black hair, from adding green streaks for a pre-<\/a>Brat<\/a> festival appearance<\/a> and placed as many human-hair extensions as humanly possible to create a mini tidal wave with her head-bobbing. But for her first Globes, Benns dialed it back and created a tasteful moment using Tresemm\u00e9\u2019s A-List line befitting the jewels, gown, and soft makeup with the rest of the look. \u201cOur reference was Cher. There’s a really beautiful photograph of her taken back in the \u201890s in one of these perfect offset moments. I believe it was on set from one of her films,\u201d Benns tells NYLON exclusively. \u201cHer hair is the reference, though a little less bouncy \u2014 this year the blowout is back and coming with a vengeance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Cher as the reference usually involves pin-straight, glass-like hair, so props to Benns and Charli for digging deep and finding this gentle wave. But, most importantly, how did Benns do it? He spared no Tresemm\u00e9-involved detail for us: \u201cTo prep, I dampened the hair with A-List All-In-One Style Primer<\/a> and a pump of the A-List Smoothing Cream<\/a>, then combed in a sharp side part. I blow-dried with a round brush for a smooth finish and high shine. Using a medium-sized tong, I waved each section, sprayed with A-List Workable Hairspray<\/a>, and pinned to set. Once cooled, I unpinned and brushed through with a wide-tooth comb and Mason Pearson brush to create a soft, loose wave. I finished by building subtle root volume with the A-List Texturizing Spray<\/a>, added a pump of A-List Bonding Oil<\/a> for shine and smoothness, and finished with a touch of the A-List Signature Hair Fragrance<\/a> (have you smelled it yet? So good).\u201d <\/p>\n

So, a few takeaways here from the expert behind the Brat hair and the resurgence of Charli\u2019s blowout era: Keep waves loose, hairspray with light-to-medium hold, and try the new Tresemm\u00e9 hair fragrance. Not only do we expect the category to blow up in 2026, but we can\u2019t resist the vanilla-and-sandalwood notes it promises. (Oh, and matching with Charli doesn\u2019t hurt, either.)<\/p>\n
