Creating Waves with the ghd Curve Wand


Some find it easy to style their hair; some find it impossible - I am somewhere in between these. I tend to stick to the two hairstyles I know how to do, curly and down or I bung it up in a top knot and resemble a pineapple.

For as long as I can remember I have used my ghd straighteners to create my curls and hopefully I have pretty much nailed the technique. It's relatively easy to do with the straighteners but seeing as I had the opportunity to try the *ghd Curve wand; I thought I'd see if it measured up.

My verdict? ... Guys, it's SO much easier to use a wand in comparison to using straighteners to create beautiful waves and movement. When I use the straighteners the curls are very tight and bouncy but with this Curve wand; the curls are loose and wavey and the outcome is a lot more natural and tousled looking. 

I thought I'd put together a step by step guide showing you how easy it is to use the wand and how to create a full head of luscious wavey curls!

Step One

Spritz the hair with some heat protection spray. I used GHD's Heat Protect Spray. Some sprays are too sticky but this one felt nice and light and smelt really nice as well. The spray creates a barrier against the heat and after spraying it I just used my fingers to work the product through the hair.


Step Two

Separate a section of hair and clip the rest back so that you can easily see what you're working with. You can choose how much hair you want to curl but I recommend taking a section that is as wide as the barrel of the wand.


Step Three

Wrap the section of hair flat against the wand and hold the wand diagonally pointing it downwards.


Step Four

Hold the hair against the wand for 5-8 seconds depending on how intense you want the curl to be and how thick your hair is.


Step Five

Repeat this simple technique across the entire head of hair.


Step Six

Work your hands through the curls to loosen them and the curls will naturally separate and voila there you have it! Lovely loose curls!
