We keep seeing flipped out ends. Kim Kardashian’s done it, Dua’s done it, JLo’s done it. We’re on the fence.
On the one hand, it’s serving up peak Stepford wives vibes. But, is that sort of the point? Model Grace McGovern recently posted an Insta snap of dramatically curled ends and the caption: “Channeling my inner Bree Van de Kamp.” She even paired it with a pink cable knit vest.
Scrolling down the comments, people are surprisingly on board. Followers are into the cutesy feel and one user even wrote “omg this hair is such a SERVE.” Interesting…
Elsewhere, we’ve seen it nod back to the sixties, the OG decade for flipped out ends. Celeb hair guru, Chad Wood, matched actress, Halston Sage’s sixties flicked liner and doll lashes with an on-theme sleek flip out and glassy modern finish that brought it back up to date. Mmmkay…
Likewise, we noticed A-list hair stylist, Justine Marjan match Olivia Culpo’s stretched out liner and sixties black and white check outfit with a mini flip, flicked out slightly at the bottom, in a more subtle nod to the trend. We’re listening…
And JLo’s right-hand man, Chris Appleton, gave the style a nineties spin for the singer, pairing it with a half-up high ponytail on longer-length hair. Oooooh…
We reckon we’re gonna need to go away and try this one ourselves to decide.
If you’re already an old hand with a blow-dryer, it’s pretty easy to achieve. Blow dry as you normally would with a barrel brush or a heated brush like GHD Rise, then, when you get a couple of inches from the end of your hair, roll it backward to create a flip, the more you roll, the more dramatic it will be. Add a shine spray to amp up the glossiness and make it feel more modern and see how you feel. So what do you think? Are you sold?
