  • Avant Garde step 03

    Spray this second section with ghd fixation spray and pin against the head to give a base for the padding to be pinned to.

    Products needed for 05

    ghd thermal protector for normal/fine hair
    ghd styler

  • Avant Garde step 05

    Releasing the hair you clipped out of the way earlier, take sections approximately 1" deep diagonally and smooth with the ghd original ceramic styling iron until you reach the top of the head.

  • Avant Garde step 06a

    Ensure all padding is covered by taking 1/2" deep sections and working around the head, moulding hair around the padding and securing with grips.

  • Avant Garde step 06b

    Subdivide the remaining section around the crown, and extend over the centre parting to create a second area. Secure this hair out of the way.

  • Avant Garde step 07

    Continue to mould the hair around the padding to the front of the head. An exaggerated shape will emerge, dependent on the amount of hair and shape and size of padding.

  • Avant Garde step 08

    Ensure both sides of the head are balanced, and create softness around the face with tendrils from step 2.

  • Avant Garde step 09

    Release and dress the section from step 6 to give a soft, feathered texture over the moulded shape.

  • Avant Garde step 10
