The press tour for ‘Wicked’ is well underway, and with it we’ve seen a number of Ariana Grande’s Glinda-esque glamorous looks. The actress and singer has shared plenty of behind-the-scenes looks along the way, including a photo posted today that shows you behind her glamorous updo and soft glam waves. You can take a peek at some hair styling tools.
In an Instagram post shared on Oct. 18, Grande posted a classic selfie backstage in a makeup chair, presumably showing off her role as Glinda the Good Witch, who stars in the upcoming movie. He was probably preparing for an appearance to promote the show. The photo was completed with the picture-perfect look of Zimmerman’s chic black two-piece set and some hair tools that the eagle-eyed editor spotted on the counter. The tools hairstylist Alix Liu uses include a T3 curling iron, a Shark Flexstyle hair dryer, a T3 Whirl Trio hair ring wand and what appears to be a T3 Lucea flat iron.
We weren’t surprised to see T3 in Grande’s vanity. T3 is a brand that celebrity hairstylists often turn to to perfect their A-list hair before hitting the red carpet. T3 curling irons are known for their sleek looks and hair-healthy heat settings, but the T3 Curl ID Ceramic Curling Iron goes a step further with technology that automatically adjusts the temperature to suit your hair texture. I’m here. The 1 1/4-inch barrel size is perfect for long hair as it creates bouncy, soft curls in just a few passes. The T3 Whirl Trio, on the other hand, includes a tapered curling wand attachment for texture and movement and an oversized barrel for the main body.
The slicked-back updo is Grande’s signature, and the shark flex style and T3 Lucia flat irons may be two of the key elements of the face-grabbing hairstyle she sported on a recent appearance. There is. Her Instagram post shows the Shark Flex Style fitted with a concentrator attachment that dries and straightens hair in one step, smoothing out Grande’s natural curls. I think it will save you some time. It makes perfect sense that Flexstyle would be in Grande’s arsenal. Just this week, Shark debuted a limited-edition “Wicked” version of the editor-favorite tool, finished in a captivating iridescent green.
As Grande proves, all of these hair styling tools can be used to create a wide variety of looks while keeping your hair in tip-top shape (Glinda won’t die of split ends). Shop the tools you need for every hair texture below.
