PREP HAIR WITH GHD PICK ME UP - ROOT LIFT SPRAY
For texture and lift, prep the hair with ghd Pick Me Up Root Lift Spray.
TWIST DRY HAIR WITH HAIRDRYER
Using the ghd air® hairdryer, twist dry the hair to dry the product in, moving the hairdryer up and down the length of each twist for texture.
DIVIDE HAIR EAR TO EAR
Divide the hair at the bottom of the head from ear to ear.
TAKE A SMALL SECTION, PLACE THE CURLING WAND ABOVE SECTION & TWIST WRAP MIDDLE OF THE HAIR
Taking a smaller section, place the ghd curve® classic wave wand above of the section and twist wrap the middle of the hair around the full barrel.
MOVE WAND BARREL UP & DOWN SECTION FOR FIVE TO EIGHT SECONDS
Holding the end of the hair still, gently move the barrel up and down the section for 5-8 seconds. Moving the barrel like this will give you a looser, bigger wave.
TAKE NEXT SMALL SECTION, PLACE CURLING WAND BELOW SECTION & TWIST WRAP MIDDLE OF HAIR
On the next section of hair, this time place the wand below the section and twist wrap using the same technique, moving up and down for 5-8 seconds.
REPEAT TECHNIQUE, ALTERNATING STEP FOUR, FIVE, SIX
Repeat throughout the hair, always alternating the position of the wand above and below the sections for a more textured result.
WORK GHD PADDLE BRUSH THROUGH HAIR
Brush the hair in multiple directions using the ghd paddle brush. This will add a soft texture to the waves.
TAKE SECTION FROM TOP OF HEAD
Using both your index fingers, take a section at the top of the head and tie with a clear elastic. When taking the section, rock your fingers up and down to soften the parting.
PINCH ROOTS FOR TEXTURE
Pinch the root area to add a lived in texture to the style.
TWIST PONY & FATTEN THE SHAPE
Twist the loose pony, hold the end and push down to fatten the shape.
TWIST BACK ONTO ITSELF THEN SECURE
Continue to twist the hair until it starts to fold back on itself and secure with a grip.
