He's worked with the likes of Alexa Chung and Meghan Markle (and basically every celebrity with a penchant for loose, tousled waves) and now George Northwood has launched his own line of George Northwood styling tools, including the best curling tongs on the market.
The best news? They're relatively affordable. If you're looking for Alexa Chung-level waves, the Undone curling tongs are your answer.
After the success of his 'Undone' hair care range, George Northwood has turned his hand to hair tools. His three-part collection includes a hairdryer, straighteners and curling tong. Each of these has undergone rigorous testing from the George Northwood hairdressing team and has been deemed worthy of joining his existing line of hair care products, which are available to shop at Boots.

George Northwood: Is It Worth The Purchase?
One reviewer remarks on the Undone Straighten or Wave It Flat Iron, "These straighteners are great and such good value. My old pair of straighteners recently gave up on me so I was looking for a new pair. But some can be so expensive. These are very reasonably priced and I am very happy with them!" If you're searching for a way to achieve the best hair waves, whether that be loose curls like Alexa Chung, or mermaid waves like Molly-Mae, the George Northwood curling tongs or flat iron is the obvious solution.
Rose Huntington-Whiteley regularly beams about George Northwood's commitment to beautiful hair, saying "I love the way that George does my hair. He makes it feel very undone, very relaxed yet glamorous." The pair have worked together since Huntington-Whiteley started modelling at age 16.
However, Northwood's most famous collaboration has to be his partnership with Meghan Markle. George toured the world with Meghan and Prince Harry during several significant royal engagements. He was even responsible for the Duchess's evening bridal hair at their wedding in 2018.
