SHOP THE LOOK

Select the products you need to recreate the look at home, with Shop the Look. The simple way to shop and style like a ghd Pro.

STEP-BY-STEPS

Step one

Using the ghd tail comb, separate the top area of the hair away from the bottom. Use the recession points and the crown as a guide - this will create a halo section. 

Step two

Using the ghd narrow dressing brush, back comb the root at the top area of your hair to create both lift and a base for the shape to be pinned to. 

Step three

Smooth the surface of the hair and gather forward towards the front of your head. Twist the section of hair two turns to the right and pull back securing at the crown area – this movement will create a natural quiff for the hair updo.

Step four

On the remaining hair, take one inch wide vertical sections. Place the ghd V gold styler diagonally at the root, rotate 360⁰ away from the face and glide the styler towards the ends of the hair. Continue through the remaining hair ensuring all the hair is curled in the same direction.

Step five

Dress out the hair using the ghd oval dressing brush for an ultra-glamorous finish.
