STEP BY STEPS
PREP HAIR WITH PRODUCT
SECTION THE HAIR FROM EAR TO EAR AND CLIP AWAY THE TOP PART
Separate the top section of your hair, working from ear to ear, then clip it out of the way.
TAKE A SMALL SECTION, PLACE THE STYLER AT THE ROOTS AND CLOSE THE PLATES
Separate a half-inch-wide piece from the bottom section of hair, place the ghd platinum+ black styler near the root and close the heated plates.
ROTATE THE STYLER 180° AWAY FROM YOUR FACE
To create a natural beach wave, turn the styler 180° – half a turn – away from your face.
GLIDE TO THE ENDS
Keeping the styler in this rotated position, slowly glide it down to the ends of your hair.
REPEAT STEPS THREE TO FIVE ON THE NEXT SECTION OF HAIR, BUT ROTATE THE STYLER TOWARDS THE FACE
Take another small piece of hair and repeat steps three to five with the styler rotated 180° in the opposite direction, towards your face. Alternating the direction will help to create a natural effect.
CONTINUE WORKING UP IN SECTIONS UNTIL ALL HAIR IS CURLED
Repeat this technique on all your hair, including the top section which you clipped away, alternating the rotation of the styler each time.
ON THE FRONT TWO SECTIONS, TURN THE STYLER AWAY FROM YOUR FACE
When styling the front two pieces of hair, rotate the styler 180° away from your face so the curls fall nicely around your features.
COMB THROUGH YOUR HAIR AND SHAKE THROUGH
Tilt your head back and comb over from your parting to the ends with the ghd detangling comb, then give your locks a final shake for extra volume.
Tip: Mist with ghd final fix hairspray for beach waves that look perfect all day.
