GET THE LOOK

ROOT LIFT WAVES

Steal the show with these gorgeous high-volume waves with the ghd rise hot brush.

Prep your hair with ghd total volume foam for maximum volume, then section with the ghd narrow dressing brush before styling with the ghd rise. The key to creating uniform waves is a consistent technique, but if you want your style to look more natural and textured, alternate your styling direction with each wave. Always remember to style away from the face at the front sections to frame your features. Once all your hair is waved, tease the look with ghd oval dressing brush to suit your style and lock it in place with a hair spray for a look that lasts all night long.
