Neglect pin-straight kinds. Superstar hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos is giving Gigi Hadid—and the remainder of us—a purpose to place down the flat iron.
Meet what the trusted hair guru calls the “C-Curl Girl,” a contemporary twist on the timeless French blowout that bends it (fairly actually) into one thing more energizing and extra trendy.
“It’s a classic French blowout, but with a nice bend and ‘C’ shape at the ends,” says Giannetos. “Instead of a flat-ironed straight hair look, this is a beautiful blowout with a gorgeous bend. It looks great with curtain bangs and a feathery blunt cut.”

On Hadid, who Giannetos styled with each, the impact is strictly that—effortlessly editorial. “It perfectly suits Gigi’s face shape,” he says. “This look is very modern and fresh.”
And if Giannetos has something to say about it, the remainder of the world might be carrying it quickly, too. “The C-Curl is going to be the new hairstyle for the summer!” he says.
Getting there, although, is all in regards to the prep. “In order to create this C-Curl look and make it last, you need to prep the hair very well,” Giannetos explains. After towel-drying, he blew out the hair with a small spherical brush, then set each strand with a clip and let it cool fully, a key step that locks within the form.
“At the end, I brushed through the hair with a paddle brush and wrapped the hair around my hand in order to create this shape,” he explains. “I sprayed it with some hairspray to keep it in place.”
The outcome: a bend that strikes superbly, holds its form and simply could be the first must-have hair pattern as we head into summer time.
