The story behind Charli XCX’s wet and wild Glastonbury hair

by 01/07/2025

Whether you’re slowly trudging back home from Worthy Farm or still wired from watching every livestream over the weekend, we bid farewell to Glastonbury for two years – sadly not back again until 2027.

On Saturday night, Charli XCX seemingly held a funeral for Brat burning down the tattered lime green flag while headlining the Other Stage. Don’t worry though, Brat will never die. From Charli’s lips to our ears: Brat is forever.

“Brat hair is an attitude,” hairstylist Matt Benns tells GLAMOUR. “It’s erratic texture, curls, length and rawness. Hair that you can whip around in the club.” As a collaborator with Charli XCX throughout the Brat era, including 2025’s Met Gala, Matt shares how the pair mix up the rolodex of changing looks.

“We look at what she’s wearing, where she’s going, what version of Charli she will be,” he says on coming up with the looks. “The texture of hair depends on the occasion – for shows, the curl is a little wilder, bigger, erratic and ready to be thrown around (and sometimes to get wet!).”
