Whenever my ‘face’ is in a post (typically outfit ones) you lovely lot always seem to comment on my messy mop – so I thought you might quite like to see my current styling routine?
I’ve always been passionate about beauty, but I must admit it’s only since I’ve started blogging that I’ve really taken an interest in different hair products. Up until recently, my Moroccan Oil was my only luxury product. Well it was pretty much the only product I used aside from shampoo and conditioner.
So in terms of protecting my hair from heat or using finishing sprays I wasn’t really fussed – I always thought, my hair looks alright without any products what’s the point? But when ghd sent me over their lovely little Style and Protect gift set I couldn’t resist giving it a whirl.
| STEP 1: Brush through the hair - getting rid of any knots and tangles. |
| STEP 2: Spray a light mist of ghd's Straight & Smooth all over the hair. |
| STEP 3: Split the hair down the middle and secure with two clips. |
| STEP 5: Curl the other side, following the same steps as the previous section. |
| STEP 6: Apply ghd's Final Shine spray all over the hair (don't spray too hard as you only need a little bit to achieve best results!) |
| STEP 7: Voila! You're done :D (One last thing - I do usually run my hands through the curls quickly to loosen them slightly :)) |
| C/O Hairstyles from ghd |
To be honest, I'm pretty bowled over by the results and I was really wrong about thinking my hair looked ‘fine’ without using any other products. Using the protecting spray on blow dried hair before using my curlers means I have no fly-aways and the whole look is far smoother and sleeker. The final shine spray acts like a sort of glossy hair spray. My entire head almost glistens and it holds my curls like there's no tomorrow. I woke up the next morning and my hair looked pretty much the same - no hairspray used - nada. Very impressed. And don't even get me started on the scent! It's actually heavenly.
The paddle brush and clips are a lovely added touch to the set. I'm particularly fond of the brush - it doesn't pull on my knots and de-tangled beautifully.
I suppose the moral of this post is - you don't know unless you try and I'm definitely going to be experimenting with my hair care going forward - I might even buy this set for a few family members, it's amazing value for money at £39!
Do any of you scrummy lot have some products you'd recommend? I'm quite keen to try out some salt spray...?

I put the Enrapture Totem styler on my Christmas wishlist after seeing you use it in a youtube video! But I ended up getting it early as my graduation present. I love it and I'm still playing around with the dials to get the perfect look, I haven't tried 2-2-1 yet so I think I'll have to now, your hair is gorgeous!

I love having voluminous/curly hair, but I'm usually so lazy I can't be bothered! You look absolutely GORGEOUS though! I got the Toni and Guy salt spray recently when it was reduced in boots and I really like it - my hair is usually mega straight so it would probably work even better on naturally more wavy hair, but even with my hair it's really nice! Not at all sticky and smells good too :) xxxxxxxxxx
Replybumble and bumble surf salt spray is lovely, it adds a little body to your hair and gives it an edgey look! quite jealous of your locks ! brill post :)

oh this is a very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing it ..I absolutely love your hair ..i wish my hair grows faster =/
ReplyDo you also wear it on rainy days? My curls always lose their hold and look nasty :'D Or have you a special rainy day hair style? It's really interesting for me..so I would be happy about a post or your answer^^
God you are so pretty, and this is such a wonderful tutorial. Note to self = grow your hair a bit, so that you can copy this look...
ReplyI have a few pals who swear by salt spray, but I'm actually from a beach, so the idea of paying for "beachy hair" just kind of baffles me.

wow your hair looks amazing! Alas, I am far to cack-handed to even attempt anything like this!
ReplyI'll just stick to my babylis heated rollers!

ReplyYour video tutorial already had me add the totem styler to my xmas list! I am even more excited to use it now, thank you! x
ReplyYour hair is just gorgeous! Loose waves are kind of my "thing" too - like you, I tend to find what I like and stick to it :) I wish I had the patience to really style it regularly - since my hair is naturally wavy, i just usually throw in a few hot rollers or use my curling iron on a few random pieces, blending it all together. This post inspires me to set aside the extra 15 mins to style my hair correctly :)
ReplyYou totally inspired me to buy this set!
