Many fo you will know that the new thing to do with your ghd hair straightener is curl your hair. Now I know that is a contradiction in itself as straighteners should be used for straightening but curling is the latest craze.
Now using the straighteners to straighten your hair is quite straight forward but curling it is not so we have put together a step by step guide on how to curl your hair with your ghd hair straightener.
Step 1 - Wash and condition your hair with the ghd products most suited to your hair type
Step 2 - Finger-dry your hair using a blow-dryer, section your hair roughly 3" from the nape of your neck, lightly mist ghd iron styling spray onto the section and, using your thumb, apply a small amount of ghd precision wax to the mid-lengths and ends
Step 3 - Using the ghd mk4 styler place the irons vertical to your head, as close to your scalp as possible. Rotate the iron 180 degrees away from your head and pull towards you in one smooth movement. The slower the action, the tighter the curl; the faster the action, the looser the curl*.
*If the curl does not form well, don't try to re-do it immediately. Let the hair cool first and then try again.
For an alternative curl, place the iron horizontally; turn it 180 degrees towards your head, pulling towards you in one continuous movement. This creates a curl with root drag, for a natural look. Alternate these effects for a less structured effect.
Step 4 - Finish with ghd dry hairspray for a medium hold. Your curls can be dressed out for a more contemporary look; use your fingers to separate and loosen the curls.
