In need of some hair-spiration? Well, look no further than to our muse that is Khloé Kardashian. I mean, with KoKo, every day is a good hair day and although I can't relate *sigh*, that doesn't stop me from saving just about every Instagram post the reality star shares.
This time, alongside her little sister Kylie Jenner, Khloé is making waves at Paris Fashion Week. And by making waves we mean that quite literally, seeing as she looks just like a goddess of the sea. Not convinced? Just take a look at Khlo's most recent Instagram post below:
You know those people who seem to have the most perfect curls post-swim/shower? Well, that's the exact vibe that we're getting from Khloé's gorgeous water waves hairstyle. And of course, to give credit where credit is most certainly due, hairstylist Jay Amir-Nazemi Afshar took the reins on this look for the Balenciaga after party. As he writes in the caption of his IG post: "Go hot or go home ❤️🔥".
Now, if you want to recreate this very look at home but have pin-straight locks (no, bc same), then luckily for you, we've tested out some of the best of the best curling tongs – that's 14 (!) different shaped barrels and what they do exactly, to be precise.
For the soft wave created on Khloé's XXL extensions, we recommend a tool like the ghd Curve Soft Curl Tong, £111.20. After all, as it says in the name, it is the best curling tong for a soft curl.
Perhaps this will be part of my Halloween look... water waves goddess, anyone?
