Voila! You are now fully prepared to create gorgeous looks for your hair with the ghd iv styler.

Tips for Straight Hair:

1. Sectioning is vital if you are to achieve your desired look. Start by sectioning your hair 1 inch deep at the nape of the neck. Feel the centre of the back of your head, and work from side to side, secure each side with a clip.

2. Using a comb or fingers, take a 2-inch wide section of hair, place your ghd hair straighteners at the root and glide along to the ends. Remember that the smaller the section, the closer to the root you’ll get, giving you straighter, sleeker hair.

3. To avoid causing unnecessary damage to your hair, make sure that you don’t clamp the irons down while straightening with your ghd hair straighteners. Just hold them lightly, glide from root to tip, and the let the heat do all the work.

4. Complete through each section finishing at the parting. Straighten your fringe as you would any other section, but style the hair in the direction that you would like it to fall.

5. For a final touch, ghd Polishing Serum into your palms and distribute evenly throughout the hair, to give you straight, sleek and glossy locks that will feel silky smooth.

Tips for Curling:

1. Again, sectioning is vital if you are to achieve your desired look. Start by sectioning your hair 1 inch deep at the nape of the neck. Feel the centre of the back of your head, and work from side to side, secure each side with a clip. Remember, the bigger the sections, the bigger the curls!

2. Spray each section before styling with ghd Creation Spray to give the ultimate hold while curling. Take a section 1 inch wide and hold at the end, while holding the ghd styler vertically. Place in at the root, rotate by 180º and slowly glide towards the end. Keep the ghd styler rotating slightly while moving, not forgetting that the slower you go, the tighter the curl.

3. While the new ghd iv styler’s rounder barrel offers brilliant curls, it will take some technique practise before perfection. If you make a mistake, then just let that section of hair cool down for 5 minutes, and then try again.

4. As you move from section to section, make sure you rotate your ghd styler in the opposite direction to the previous section, to achieve a more natural look.

5. Root drag is when your hair is straight at the roots but then begins to curl along the lengths and ends. This is caused by not being close enough to the root when styling. As curls shorten your hair, it is a good idea to have some root drag at the back of your head to keep length, and some at the top to avoid too much volume. For modern styles, drag the root for 2 inches before rotating your ghd styler.

6. To finish, apply a small amount of ghd Precision Wax onto your fingertips, and loosely work through each curl for a brilliant shine, hold and definition.
