Jonathan Van Ness Curled Nicola Coughlan’s Hair And His Technique Is A Game Changer

We're always searching for an easy way to achieve perfect, easy breezy, 'just jumped out of bed' beachy waves, and our fave hair god, Jonathan Van Ness, is leading us into the light. The best part? There isn't a pair of curling tongs in sight.

Jonathan Van Ness' Queer Eye makeovers are always wonder to behold. He joyfully snips away at split ends, extols the virtues of wearing SPF daily and channels all his energy into lifting the self-esteem of whoever is lucky enough to be sitting in his salon chair.

Made your way through Netflix's supply of Queer Eye episodes already? Turn your attention JVN's TikTok account. His tutorials are full of doable hair and grooming tips that are easy to employ at home. His latest TikTok even features Bridgerton's Penelope Featherington - the one and only Nicola Coughlan. The pair are firm friends and Nicola proved the perfect hair model.

JVN decided to give Nicola's signature blonde bob beach wave makeover. The brief? Loose and effortless. Polished ringlets need not apply. Keen to see how it's done? Take a look below:

Jonathan flips Nicola's hair upside down, and rather than reaching for a curling tong or a set of straighteners, instead wraps fine sections of hair around the diffuser's spikes. The result? Bouncy, long-lasting waves that don't look overly 'done'.

Admittedly it's a pretty painstaking task but if you're determined to lock down authentic-looking beach waves and have fine hair that takes a curl well like Nicola, it's a technique worth taking note of.
