If there’s one Love Island star we’d take beauty tips from, it’s this season’s bombshell of all bombshells, Grace Jackson. We don’t know about you, but we simply can’t stop swooning over her luscious, blonde locks, which she usually styles to one side, in glam, old Hollywood-style waves. Erm, stunning.
So when we saw that the 25-year-old had shared her go-to styling tool on TikTok before heading into the villa, we immediately took notes. And guess what? It's on sale, so you can get her look for less.
In a short clip shared with her 24.4k followers, the Manchester-born model reveals that she uses Beauty Works X Molly-Mae Curl Kit, £67.50 to achieve her signature hairstyle, captioning the video: "Molly-Mae Curling Wand >", before adding that they give the 'most perfect curls'.
She's not wrong. The viral kit, which includes a pink styler, ten pin curl clips to prep and set waves and a white paddle brush for any finishing touches, is everything long-haired girlies need to create big, bouncy waves. It's coated with ceramic too, which helps fight frizz and adds shine to the hair, for a glossy finish.
While there are many ways to use the styling kit, including pinning your curls to the top of your head and letting them set before brushing out, Grace has her own technique. The Love Islander appears to pin the curls at the ends for a 90s-inspired look while adding velcro rollers to her 'bangs' for a boost of volume.
The reality star doesn't share her go-to rollers, but Revolution Mega Pink Heatless Rollers, £8 look similar in style and there's 10 in a pack, so great value for money! Otherwise, we'd suggest the Boots Cushion Pink Large Hair Rollers, £3.50 or Boots Bendy Hair Rollers, £4.50 – both of them spotted in the villa.
Once she's removed the clips and rollers, Grace brushes her hair using the Beauty Works Vegan Bristle Brush included in the kit, which you can buy separately for £9.99 here. Effectively removing knots as it glides through the hair, it's perfect for finishing off any style, as it reduces breakage and seals split ends.
To keep her blonde hair looking healthy, she finishes off by adding a few pumps of Unite Hybrid U Argan Oil, £32 to her ends. It also protects against heat and sun damage – we hope she's taken it to Mallorca!
If you'd like to copy the star, but don't have the budget, we'd recommend Beauty Works Argan Serum, £9.55. For use on both wet and dry hair, it's packed with hair-loving antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E for soft, silky locks. Not to mention, it's great if you wear extensions like Grace.
That's right – while her long, flowing locks might look natural, she's actually wearing 'invisible' tape extensions from Spectrum One Extensions. In fact, it's been her go-to brand forever, according to Grace's hairstylist and founder of Spectrum One, Katy Grimshaw who shares how to steal her style.
Firstly, Grace wears four packs of the 20” Spectrum One Invisible Tapes in shades Champagne, £178 here and Creamed Ash, £178 here.
“To create the perfect blonde blend for Grace we use two packs of Champagne and two packs of Creamed Ash and combine them together," explains Katy. "This can be done in multiple ways, but one of my favourite techniques is to sandwich Champagne and Creamed Ash to create a multi-tonal colour that matches Grace’s gorgeous blonde hair perfectly when brushed through."
She continues: "The Invisible Tapes have hair all the way to the top hiding the tape itself, making the colour and blend more seamless than ever. Whether Grace wants to wear her hair up or down in the villa, the extensions look like they’re growing out of her root - not a tape in sight!”
