Braids are an easy technique you can modify to suit your personal style. Adding a twist at the nape of the neck is an easy detail that turns your simple braids into a chic statement. To prep your hair for braiding, apply ghd straight & smooth spray to damp hair, then use the ghd helios and comb nozzle to blow out your hair and create enviable lift. A blow out is the perfect foundation for further styling and will allow you to weave smooth, shiny braids.
