step one: Spray hair with curl hold spray
For long-lasting wavy hair, prep dry hair with ghd curl hold spray.

Take a horizontal section of hair from ear to ear and split into four separate sections.

Place the ghd curve ® soft curl tong underneath one of the sections and twist wrap the hair around the barrel, using the clamp to secure in the ends. Hold for 5-8 seconds.

step five: Release and catch curl in hand to cool
Release the clamp and allow the curl to fall into the cup of your hand, then hold for a few seconds to cool.

step six: Repeat steps 4 and 5 working towards parting
Repeat technique throughout the hair working up towards the parting, always pointing the curling tong in the same direction.

step seven: Brush hair back diagonally to crown
Using the ghd oval dressing brush, brush the hair back from the parting diagonally to the crown.

step eight: Push hair to indents of waves
Gently push the hair upwards in the indents of the waves, forming a defined, smooth shape.

step nine: Brush hair at ends for rounded curl
Brush the hair ends around your hand to give you rounded curls and rich luxe ends.
