Recreate the Signature Runway Looks with ghd x Aje
Look #1: Barely-There Waves
- Prep the hair with ghd body goals total volume foam to add grit and swell the texture of the hair. Use a ghd blow dryer - radish brush (size 4) round brush and the ghd helios hair dryer to dry the product into the hair and add volume, paying special attention to around the fringe by rotating the brush and blow drying inwards.
- Once the hair is completely dry use the ghd chronos curve max wand, taking large sections of hair and wrapping them around the barrel for just three seconds.
- Allow the curls to cool completely before applying ghd shiny every after and using the ghd oval dressing brush to relax the curls into a barely there wave that is effortless, shiny and luxe!
Look #2, natural texture
- To embrace your natural texture, apply ghd sleek talker styling oil throughout the ends and diffuse with the ghd helios hair dryer. The diffuser mimics the natural drying process of curls whilst helping to reduce frizz!
- Once the hair is completely dry, use ghd thin wand sporadically throughout to define tighter curl patterns.
- Apply ghd curls gone wild to finish and work through with the hands to enhance natural texture and add additional volume!
Look #3: polished waves
- Prep the hair with ghd curly ever after to protect from heat and create a shiny, smooth surface to style the hair.
- Using the ghd chronos curve classic tong, curl the hair away from the face, creating defined curls, leaving the ends slightly straight by holding the ends of the hair on the cool tip.
- Once the hair has been curled, use the ghd detangling comb to pull out the curls, letting them sit loosely. Apply ghd perfect ending hair spray to define the straighter ends of the hair and encourage it to sit in place all day.
