Step 1

Spritz hair all over with water so that it’s wet, but not soaking.

Step 2

Create a deep side parting using the ghd tail comb.

Step 3

Apply ghd total volume foam throughout the hair to smooth and control frizz.

Step 4

Pull hair back into a low ponytail using the new ghd oval dressing brush, made with nylon bristles to help deliver a sleek finish, and secure with a hair elastic. For a fuller ponytail, add in some hair extensions here.

Step 5

Spritz the ponytail with ghd curl hold spray and dry into the hair using the ghd air® saharan gold hairdryer.

Step 6

Taking small sections, create a tight curl by wrapping hair around smallest part of the barrel of the ghd curve® creative curl wand for about 5-8 seconds. Repeat until all of the ponytail is curled.

Step 7

Backcomb all over to add extreme volume and texture, then spray with ghd final fix hairspray to finish.
