How to create a beehive updo

2. Blow dry product in

3. Flat wrap hair around curling tong

4. Pin curl at root and cool

5. Undo each section and backcomb

6. Twist hair into a chignon

7. Spray with final spray

step one: Spray damp hair with root lift spray

Prepare the damp hair with ghd root lift spray, ensuring an even spread across the entire head. 

step two: Blow dry product in

Blow dry the root lift spray into the hair using a ghd air® hairdryer and a ghd ceramic brush. This will help you build a voluminous hair updo.  

step three: Flat wrap hair around curling tong

Once the hair is dry, flat wrap a section of hair around ghd curve® soft curl tong for 5-8 seconds. 

step four: Pin curl at root and cool

Pin the curled hair at the root and leave to cool.

step five: Undo each section and backcomb

After the hair has cooled, undo each pinned section and lightly backcomb with a ghd narrow dressing brush at the root to create volume for your updo. 

step six: Twist hair into a chignon

Brush the hair away from the face and twist it up into a chignon.

step seven: Spray with final spray

To make sure your beehive updo stays in place through the day and night, finish by spritzing the hair with ghd final fix hairspray.
