The GHD hair straightening iron is a type of flat iron that can be used on any type of hair, from coarse and curly to fine and wavy. If you are looking for a sleek style that resists humidity and holds style, the GHD flat iron might be what you need. Using a flat iron is so much easier than trying to get smooth hair by blow drying it or using large curlers.
Directions
To achieve maximum results from the GHD flat iron, first get into the shower to wash your hair. Upon exiting the shower, dry your hair very well with a towel, but don't rub it vigorously. This leads to breakage. Rub some thermal conditioner into your hair. This will protect it from damage and the high GHD flat iron heat. Blow dry your hair until it is completely dry before attempting to straighten your hair with the GHD tool. If you try to flat iron damp hair, you will not get good results and may end up burning your hair. Plug in your GHD straightening iron and wait for it to heat up. It takes 60 seconds to reach the temperature you choose. Put some hair serum throughout your hair to give it a sheen before you flat iron it. Using small sections of hair, slowly run the flat iron from the root to tip, working all around your head.
Materials
The GHD flat iron has ceramic coated aluminum plates that heat up evenly, making sure that no hot spots form on the plates. Hot spots can cause hair to singe and straighten unevenly. The plates are specially manufactured to prevent frizziness and unwanted curl, and they use a technology that emits negative ions, which smooths hair cuticles down to create shine.
Uses
You can use the GHD hair straightening iron to make your hair extremely smooth, or you can even use it to create curls. The rounded barrel makes it an excellent tool for making bouncy waves and curls that are totally free of frizz.
Cost
You can purchase a GHD flat iron for less than $100 online or at beauty supply stores. You will save a lot of money by doing your own hairstyles rather than going to a hairdresser, who may charge up to $100 or even more to give you a flat iron treatment.
Results
Your straight, smooth hair will last until you get it wet. Humidity should not affect the hair's cuticle, but if it does, you can do a quick touch up at home in less than 10 minutes.
