How to Curl Hair With GHD Straighteners

The versatility of GHD straighteners allows you to do a lot more than just straighten hair. With some practice, you can create volume and curls with ease. There's many good deals to be had online, so if you don't own any straighteners, get a pair of cheap GHD of stylers today.

Before any heat styling, always start off with a good heat protection serum or spray. Hair is at its healthiest when moisturized and curling tongs, hair dryers and straighteners all dry out hair and can leave it feeling brittle.

To start off with, take a section of hair and spray using a hair product similar to GHD's creation spray. This will hold the curl for longer.

Clamp the hair closest to the root in the straighteners. As you start to pull the straighteners through you hair, twist| them round half a turn then pull the straighteners along through the rest of the length of hair. The heat on the outside of the straighteners will be sufficient enough to curl your hair and hold it in place. The slower you move the straighteners through your hair, the firmer the curl will be. Also, don't be worried about any steam you may see coming from your hair, it's just evaporation of the heat protection products.

It's important to make the movement of the straighteners and curling your hair around them as fluid and smooth as possible. If you leave the straighteners held in any one position for a length of time, you will end up with straight kinks in your hair, rather than curls, which can sometimes be really hard to iron out.

Once you've pulled the straighteners through the entire length of that piece of hair, use your finger to add extra curl.

You should have a good quality pair of straighteners when trying to curl your hair. Otherwise the straighteners may not get hot enough and stay at that temperature for long enough to achieve a good result.
