The Red Carpet report | Lizzo x Shelby Swain

How Lizzo slayed on the 2020 Billboard Music Awards red carpet

Celebrity hairstylist Shelby Swain kept things simple with a snatched ponytail for Lizzo’s 2020 Billboard Music Awards appearance.

INSPIRATION:
“Lizzo wanted to do something sleek to fit with the dress as the dress was such a big statement, so we went with a snatched pony. It was a Naomi Campbell moment,” said celebrity hairstylist Shelby Swain.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

  1. Start by washing the hair with an amplified textures shampoo and conditioner. After hair is washed, blow dry using the ghd helios professional hairdryer to create a sleek and glossy finish
  2. Next, sculpt hair into a ponytail. Once secured, straighten the hair using the ghd platinum+ styler
  3. To finish the look, use the ghd curve soft curl tong to create bouncy waves for a luxe ponytail
