HOW TO USE GHD
Cult Concierge expert {Grace} is on hand to talk you through how to use your favourite ghd products:
- Before using any styling tools, we would always recommend first brushing your hair with your favourite ghd hairbrush. Start from the ends then gradually make your way up to the root of the hair, working in small sections.
Next, prep your hair with the ghd {Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray}, combing through to make sure the product is evenly distributed. - When using your tool (whether this is a curler, straightener, or hair dryer) separate the hair into sections – this makes styling your hair a lot easier and gives the best results.
- Finally, finish with some hair spray to keep all your hard work in place!
